The $2,000 Nvidia GTX 5090 is so powerful that it made me wonder if there were such a thing as too many frames when it came to PC gaming

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition is set to launch on Jan. 30 .

The card is based on the new Blackwell architecture, and the two -fan Founders Edition config packs 32 GB of VRAM , 21,760 CUDA cores with a 2.01 GHz base clock, and 2.41 GHz boost clock.

Nvidia has focused most of its attention on the 5th -gen Tensor cores and the promised 3,352 TOPS of AI performance.

There’s an unnerving feeling when you jump into a game and watch that frame counter skyrocket.

Multi Frame Gen also meant I could push path tracing to ultra and still maintain such high FPS anybody looking on would assume I’m faking it.

I analyzed the foliage as closely as possible in Dragon Age: The Veilguard but couldnât find any noticeable issues with sharpness or textures.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made it clear in a recent Q&A with press and analysts that the company priced RTX 5090 at $ 2,000 .

In the CEO’s words, this is the GPU for the people who want the best.

Having the best also means you would need the best CPU , the highest-rated power supply, and one of the most expensive monitors you can buy.

Itâs a card made for people where money is no object.
