NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 review: Pure AI excess for $2,000
NVIDIA unveils the RTX 5090, a $2,000 GPU with DLSS 4 and 21,760 CUDA cores.

NVIDIA introduces the GeForce RTX 5090, touted as the fastest consumer GPU, thanks to its 21,760 CUDA cores and cutting-edge DLSS 4 technology. Positioned at $2,000, the GPU is not tailored for the average gamer but rather those with high-end gaming setups willing to invest for peak performance.
This latest release from NVIDIA highlights its continued dominance in the graphics card market, particularly in AI-driven gaming technology. Featuring DLSS 4's ability to generate multiple 'fake' frames, the RTX 5090 achieves unprecedented smoothing in gameplay, although the ethical implications of non-genuine frames are debated.
Despite offering superior gaming and AI processing power, the RTX 5090's price and 575W power requirement are prohibitive. The future prospects of NVIDIA's mid-range GPUs, such as the RTX 5070, are anticipated to offer more reasonable solutions, leveraging similar AI advancements without the steep cost.
