The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is a powerful upgrade to an already overpowered enthusiast-grade GPU, and in a lot of ways, this card is so good that it's largely superfluous for just about anyone who isn't in it for the pure flex of owning it.

The GPU itself is a decent improvement over the RTX 4090, with more, faster memory, more cores, and a gorgeous chassis. But in terms of brute force rendering it's only incrementally faster in comparison with the performance bumps from Turing to Ampere to Ada.
