Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs are just around the corner, with the first releases — the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 — dropping on January 30th. The RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 will follow that with their own releases in February, but some are already getting a sneak peek at the GPUs’ software benefits through DLSS 4.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is here, setting a new benchmark for graphics cards. With a 32% power increase over its predecessor, the RTX 5090 promises unmatched performance, making it a game-changer for gamers and creators.

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.

At a glance Expert's Rating Pros ・By far the fastest gaming performance ever, even ray traced ・DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation makes games so snappy and smooth, they feel like new — it’s truly game-changing ・Huge 32GB of GDDR7 with tons of bandwidth ・Tightly engineered Founders Edition model somehow squeezes into a fairly quiet two-slot design Cons

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.

Scalpers are already listing NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card on eBay for between $5000 and $7000, with NO refunds offered.

Despite its power demand of 575W, a significant increase over the RTX 4090, Nvidia has managed to shrink the card's form factor. The dual-slot chassis incorporates an innovative cooling solution, maintaining temperatures below 86°C under load.
