NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition

[W1zzard]

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 is the fastest graphics card ever released. It comes with a whopping 32 GB VRAM, and support for multi-frame generation, which achieves hundreds of FPS easily. We also managed to disassemble the card, and our review includes performance testing without upscaling or frame generation, too.

here goes nothing.

here goes nothing.

Yes.

 

[Selaya]

yes.
as expected, the cooler performance is nothing but breathtaking. i wonder how many millions they've invested in this revolutionary design. probably alot.

 

[JustBenching]

Performance is nuts but power draw is like - holy cow. Any chance you are going to do some power limited testing to something more reasonable? 400-450w or something

 

[Outback Bronze]

Looks pretty decent over what was being said..

Definitely putting this baby on a block!

 

[phanbuey]

the 4090 was more impressive at launch - I actually kind of like the big cooler over a smaller louder cooler.

 

[Asni]

GDDR7 from 28 to 34Gbps. Nice.

@W1zzard Which software did you use? Looks like it's limited to +2000 (32Gbps) in most other reviews.

 

[Chaitanya]

Those power consumption figures dont inspire confidence. Missing Techgage since they would have presented compute related review rather than just pure gaming oriented one.

 

[BigMack70]

35% more performance with 25% higher power draw qualifies as "Highly Energy Efficient"?

Whatever you say, I guess...

 

[Rahmat Sofyan]

"Highly energy-efficient"..

nice for a 600 watt card

 

[Daven]

Looks like a 35% more raster and ray tracing for 33% more cores. That's pretty good but that power usage. Wow!

With the linear scaling, that doesn't bode well for the 5080 which has 5% more cores than the 4080 Super but we will see in a week.

 

[Legacy-ZA]

Indeed, it is as I suspected too, the cooler has amazing performance. Oof, and the FPS is much desired. All I know is, I want one, but I can't buy one, envy, indeed.

The RTX5080 is going to look like a turd compared to this card.

Efficiency is not power draw. It can be a 5000kw card and still be efficient. You have to divide performance with the power draw to get to efficiency.

How disappointing. (Not talking about the 3D / Ray trace performance)

Wish TPU had more test regarding AI, like including some LLM-s!

If they're basing that award on how efficient it is per frame then it fully deserves it. According to the review there are only three GPUs that are more efficient per frame.

Spoiler: hidden because irrelevant

Was the 4090 Really 2400 $ or is it a special edition?

Edit: apparently it is! (current price) Thanks for letting me know.

 

[BorisDG]

Disaster generation. I'll repeat myself from 1 year ago - Blackwell is stop-gap generation. I'd wait for what it comes out of Rubin for consumer.

These are the current street prices. Launch price was 1600 USD but due to artificial deficite, AI craze, scalpers and whatnot, it hovers around $2500 for the better part of its life.

 

[csendesmark]

I feel like there is something missing

 

[TheinsanegamerN]

So 25% more performance for 27% more money 2 years later. How revolutionary!

Hey, AMD! Here's your chance to strike nvidia where it hurts. Blackwell is looking to be a major disappointment, so if rDNA4 really is that good, it's a prime opportunity to smack them across the proverbial room.

4090 launch MSRP was $1600.

That's the current street pricing. Just pop over to your favorite etailer to confirm.

It's 35% more average performance over the 4090. Look at the chart below or divide 100% by 74%.

It still fails then, the 5090 in gaming is drawing 42% more power for 25% more performance, according to TPU graphs. That's.......not good.

 

[wolf]

Massive meh, not worth it really at all until the new features are leveraged and even then... wow. 4090 MSRP buyers pretty frikken happy rn.
