RTX 5090 vs RTX 4090: Questionable RTX 5090 rasterization performance surfaces alongside notable ray tracing gain

[Redaktion]

A couple of synthetic benchmark results of the RTX 5090 have surfaced online. While the flagship Blackwell GPU reportedly outruns the RTX 4090 in ray tracing by a double-digit margin, the pure rasterization performance gain looks comparatively less impressive.

Dude WTF. The 4090 FE (STOCK) does 19000 on TSE and 9950 on SpeedWay. You can't look at the extrme overclocks leaderboard to compare it with a stock 5090.

Exactly!

[Anti-propaganda man]

50 gen is only good for AI on new titles with frame gen and DLSS. Frame gen is garbage anyway as your mouse/controller inputs are only reflected in the games base fps. a 60 fps game running at fake 120 feels totally different to a true 120 fps game. 50 series has 30% more power draw for 30% more real frames... so buy a higher spec 40 series gpu instead. They will be cheaper.

Yea this article needs to use stock non-overclocked 4090 numbers

The fact that, even overclocked, a 4090 can get fairly close to a stock 5090 is proof enough that the successor isn't much of an upgrade.

The only real improvements come from a software lock (DLSS 4 exclusively on 50 series). There doesn't appear to be any reason why the 40 series couldn't run it too aside from "we can't sell the new cards otherwise".

And we'll charge $500 more for the privilege.

The 5090 seems like a rebates 4090 with more AI cores added in to use DLSS4. The Blackwell series is a scam and anyone who keeps supporting this company is just allowing them to get away with the scams they produce. If team red were to get more support they would be able to compete and even beat Nvidia. People really need to stop drinking the green kool-aid and just give team red more support so they can fire back and give the people real improvements.
