In comparison, the 450W-rated RTX 4090 looks like it can be powered by potatoes.
On that note, if theres something the RTX 5090 does brilliantlywithoutany AI caveats, its the industrial design.
Then theres DLSS 4, and its most numbermaking component, Multi Frame Generation.
Thats not to say its immaculate sorcery.
Firstly, the Transformer model is a rejigged technique for how DLSS applies its best-in-class anti-aliasing.
All that cash for an extra 11fps?
Not a great deal.
Nope, 4K is where the RTX 5090 is at.
But then, trying to be practical with a card like this kind of feels like missing its point.
I miss those days too.
But is the RTX 5090 not more of an aspirational rig anyway?
A concept model thats just happened to escape the design wing and sneak into the production factory?
Lets be real: you were never going to buy this.
I was never going to buy this.
Its just so far beyond us normies that there doesnt seem to be much sense in hating it either.
The GPU itself wont care, and Nvidia certainly wont.
Theyre probably already planning the RTX 6090 for 2,500.
Youve got me there, RTX 5090, even if you arent getting my money.
