The most powerful of Nvidia's newest Blackwell graphics cards is a " beast ." Review after review has brought up benchmarks showcasing that when it comes to gaming, the RTX 5090 blows its predecessors and other graphics cards away. However, it appears that for many consumers, the RTX 5090 is overkill.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is here, setting a new benchmark for graphics cards. With a 32% power increase over its predecessor, the RTX 5090 promises unmatched performance, making it a game-changer for gamers and creators.

NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5080 shows early benchmark results: 15% faster in synthetic 3DMark testing than the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER.

But Nvidia is showing that it's willing to be a bit more aggressive on price. On Jan. 6, the company unveiled its latest GeForce RTX 50 cards, and what took some analysts by surprise was that many of them will be priced lower than the previous RTX 40 series, despite offering significant performance upgrades.

That extra processing power naturally translates to better performance, making the RTX 5090 the new king of 4K gaming. It’s a $1,999 GPU for anyone who wants the best 4K gaming experience, developers interested in AI performance, and creators who want to accelerate video editing.

Scalpers are already listing NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card on eBay for between $5000 and $7000, with NO refunds offered.

A powerhouse Blackwell GPU with impressive specs and performance, but at a premium price. Is it worth the investment?

Despite its power demand of 575W, a significant increase over the RTX 4090, Nvidia has managed to shrink the card's form factor. The dual-slot chassis incorporates an innovative cooling solution, maintaining temperatures below 86°C under load.
