The most powerful of Nvidia's newest Blackwell graphics cards is a " beast ." Review after review has brought up benchmarks showcasing that when it comes to gaming, the RTX 5090 blows its predecessors and other graphics cards away. However, it appears that for many consumers, the RTX 5090 is overkill.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 starts at $1,999 before you factor in upsells from the company's partners or price increases driven by scalpers and/or genuine demand. It costs more than my entire gaming PC.

That extra processing power naturally translates to better performance, making the RTX 5090 the new king of 4K gaming. It’s a $1,999 GPU for anyone who wants the best 4K gaming experience, developers interested in AI performance, and creators who want to accelerate video editing.

In the RTX 5090, you’re getting new Neural Rendering features too — things that use an on-board AI trained with the game itself to boost fidelity and detail. Behind the scenes of any game, there’s a neural network running away to push a few key things.

Nvidia's newest top-spec GPU, the RTX 5090, gets a thorough benchmarking - including its DLSS 4 features, like Multi Frame Generation.

The GeForce RTX 5090 is a 4K gaming beast, but there's more to the story. From DLSS 4 to Neural Rendering, the AI-enhanced future of gaming is here.

Nvidia's multi frame gen on the GeForce RTX 5090 GPU can produce framerates above 300 FPS, though that doesn't mean you need a $2,000 card.
