The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card has been the topic of numerous rumors since at least last year, and the most recent provides two new startling information on what we may anticipate from the potential next-generation graphics card.
The RTX 5090 will most likely be built on the Nvidia Blackwell architecture and, according to the tech YouTube channel Moore’s Law is Dead, might be up to 70% quicker than the current-generation RTX 4090 graphics card. This is a significant performance boost that would make any of the greatest PC games on the market look like a piece of cake.
Previous speculations suggested that the RTX 5090 will perform about twice as fast as the RTX 4090, thus this is yet another piece of evidence to support that theory. However, as with all reports, some skepticism is appropriate until we can measure the performance ourselves.
This performance gain is expected to come from as many as 192 streaming multiprocessors in the RTX 5090 (a 50% increase over the RTX 4090’s 128), giving the card 24,576 CUDA cores, 192 ray tracing cores, and 768 tensor cores. In other words, if any of these reports are correct, this card will be a true giant.
However, the increase in speed between the cards would come at a high cost, literally. According to the same claim, the 5090 might cost between $2,000 and $2,500, with other probable prices including a $1,000 RTX 5080 card, a $700 RTX 5070 card, a $400 RTX 5060 card, and a cheap RTX 5050 Ti card for about $300.
Regardless of performance and pricing, they may not be the greatest cards Nvidia has to offer. Another prediction is that the card will not feature a fully enabled die since Nvidia will almost surely save its most powerful cards for the thriving AI sector, which propelled the tech company into the trillion-dollar profit stratosphere last year.
Nvidia is largely uncontested
It will be exciting to observe how Nvidia’s emphasis on AI this generation will influence graphic card development in the coming generation. We may receive some obscenely powerful cards, but its die will not be completely enabled for the benefit of the AI market over gamers, which is simply mind-boggling.
And, despite this, Team Green can charge whatever they want for this card if AMD fails to come up and provide a graphics card of comparable quality. And with predictions that AMD is not even going to make a bid for the premium GPU market with its next-gen RDNA 4 architecture, it doesn’t appear like anything will be able to limit the escalating pricing of Nvidia’s graphics cards.
