The Nvidia RTX 5070 is almost here, and Nvidia claims it can match the RTX 4090 frame for frame. But how much frame generation does that need? Let's find out.

The Nvidia RTX 5090 is easily the best graphics card on the market right now, offering fantastic performance for gaming, creating, and AI workloads that few other cards can compete with. There is one card that can hold its own against Nvidia's latest high-end card, and that's Nvidia's last-gen flagship, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090.

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.

In the RTX 5090, you’re getting new Neural Rendering features too — things that use an on-board AI trained with the game itself to boost fidelity and detail. Behind the scenes of any game, there’s a neural network running away to push a few key things.

With its AI capabilities enabled, the RTX 5090 is the fastest and best-performing graphics card in the world. Can Nvidia's competitors catch up?

Blender result puts NVIDIA's RTX 5090 graphics card at around a third faster than the RTX 4090, although the RTX 5090D is somewhat off that pace.
