Overview

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is NVIDIA’s latest and most powerful gaming graphics card, designed for people who want the absolute best performance in gaming, 3D rendering, and AI workloads. It’s built using the new Blackwell architecture, which makes it faster, more efficient, and smarter than previous generations. The RTX 5090 comes with a huge 32GB of next-generation GDDR7 memory, allowing it to handle massive textures, complex scenes, and demanding creative applications without slowing down.

It supports advanced features like ray tracing, which creates lifelike lighting, reflections, and shadows, and DLSS 4, NVIDIA’s AI technology that boosts frame rates and image quality using machine learning. It also includes PCIe 5.0 support for faster communication with your system and third-generation tensor and RT cores for improved AI and ray-tracing performance.

In real-world use, the RTX 5090 is about 30% faster than the RTX 4090, which was already an extremely powerful card. It can easily handle 4K gaming at ultra settings, and even supports 8K gaming or heavy workloads
