So, it's official: with Nvidia announcing the RTX 5090 at CES 2025, the RTX 4090's reign as the most powerful consumer graphics card in the world is drawing to a close. Team Green's new flagship GPU could get us tantalizingly close to native 8K gaming, if Nvidia's boasts are to be believed. The 5090's 32GB of GDDR7 memory, compared to the 4090's 24GB of GDDR6X could have a huge impact when pushing extreme resolutions (and not only is there more memory, it's much faster as well).
