Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Review

Performance Increase

The RTX 4090 is 74% faster than the RTX 3090 on average, and in some games, the difference is almost double. However, the RTX 5090 is only 27% faster than the RTX 4090 on average. Some games lack full GPU utilization. The performance jump from the 3090 to the 4090 was significant, but the jump from the 4090 to the 5090 is not as drastic. Still, it is a decent increase that makes a difference—if the 4090 is sitting around 150 FPS, the 5090 will push much closer to 200 FPS.

New Features

Multiframe Generation is an exclusive feature of the 50-series GPUs, and it can almost quadruple your frame rate. With Multiframe Generation, you can now choose between different multipliers: 2x, similar to the frame generation we’ve already seen, but now also 3x or 4x, which is new.

Power Consumption

The 5090’s power consumption is extremely high, with a massive increase in power draw compared to the 4090. It averages around 500 watts, which is insane. This is a colossal jump in power usage. Your room might need an air cooler to handle this beast. God of War: Ragnarok draws the most power, reaching 554W. To run this GPU, you must have at least a 1000W power supply.
