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's GeForce RTX 5090 starts at $1,999 before you factor in upsells from the company's partners or price increases driven by scalpers and/or genuine demand. It costs more than my entire gaming PC.

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.

I've been trying out Nvidia's new frame-generation tool in everyone's favorite dystopian test game. Here's how it works, and how to take best advantage of this bleeding-edge feature.

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.

RTX 5090 reviews are finally live, and the performance aligns with previously leaked benchmarks. The RTX 5080 is next in line and has been tested in Geekbench (via Benchleaks) across the OpenCL and Vulkan APIs,
