Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU Benchmarks Reveal Up to 46% Performance Boost
The much-awaited Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, under the RTX 50 Series Blackwell architecture, is expected to arrive on January 30, 2025. Unveiled at CES 2025, the flagship GPU has caused quite a stir with benchmark tests reportedly showing considerable performance gains over its predecessor, the RTX 4090.
Performance Benchmarks
Synthetic benchmark tests reveal the RTX 5090 GPU offers up to 46% improved performance, depending on the test and settings.
- FireStrike (DirectX 11) highlighted a 36% improvement across Performance, Extreme, and Ultra settings.
- TimeSpy (DirectX 12) showed a 33% gain on Performance and Extreme modes.
Additional tests like SpeedWay and Port Royal suggest overall performance could reach as high as 46%, though real-world gaming results may vary.
Specifications-
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 features:
- 32 GB GDDR7 RAM instead of 24 GB GDDR6 in the RTX 4090
- 21,760 CUDA cores
- Clock speed at 2.4 GHz
- Fifth generation Tensor Cores and fourth generation RT Cores
- 92 billion transistors and can perform 3,352 trillion operations per second TOPs
The RTX 5090 now breaks consumer GPU barriers with a more productive architecture.
While synthetic benchmarks promise a lot, real-world gaming performance will be determined by factors such as resolution, game settings, and optimization. Still, the RTX 5090 promises to deliver an exceptional experience for gamers and creators alike.
