Test Setup
We are using an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D for testing to give the GeForce RTX 5090 every chance we can for the best performance. We are using the motherboard’s current default BIOS settings on the latest release BIOS. PCI-Express Resizable BAR is enabled. We have enabled EXPO I in the BIOS for the memory. We are using a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro with the latest Windows Updates. We have the latest drivers installed, including the latest chipset drivers. We are using the “Balanced” power profile in Windows Settings, and Core Isolation/Memory Integrity (VBS) is enabled.
We have the latest drivers installed. For the NVIDIA GeForce video cards, we have GeForce 610.88 installed. We are including the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, just as some kind of baseline to compare with, and we are using AMD Radeon Software 26.7.1.

Join Discussion →This price is just too high. The current price retail is now exceeding the scalper prices at release-time...... I thought I paid way too much for mine, which now feels like a bargain. The current situation has just put these video cards out of reach......and this card is at Gigabytes low end of 5090s......ouch.
I've got the lowly MSI Ventus 3X OC, but I only paid $2,600 for it around launch. I had to buy it as part of an MSI bundle to do it, but I still got the card for what was about MSRP at the time. The prices of 5090's (and most everything else) now is utterly insane. I make good money at my job, but I wouldn't be able to justify a top end gaming build right now.
Your at assrape Alienware and Falcon Northwest pricing a few years ago just to DIY a top end PC build now.
