Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs are just around the corner, with the first releases — the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 — dropping on January 30th. The RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 will follow that with their own releases in February, but some are already getting a sneak peek at the GPUs’ software benefits through DLSS 4.

Claimed Nvidia RTX 5080 graphics benchmarks suggest the GPU won’t quite match the RTX 4090 (unlike the RTX 4080 which easily outgunned the 3090).

Not only does the VRAM jump up from 24GB to 32GB in the RTX 5090, but it gets a lot faster too with GDDR7 memory. You’re getting both more of it and a faster speed at 32 Gbps.

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.

Here are the RTX 5090 benchmarks, as we test DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Gen on the new graphics card in Cyberpunk 2077, Black Ops 6, and more.

Nvidia hasn't announced the RTX 5060 yet, but I'm already worried about how the card will perform when it shows up.

We expect Amazon to have standalone RTX 5090 cards as well as prebuilt PCs with RTX 5090 cards inside. There's no signs of preorders yet, but once they go live you'll have to act fast as this retailer tends to sell out.
