Nvidia’s RTX 5090 is easily the best gaming experience I’ve ever witnessed. But it’s easy to get whipped up in incredible graphical fidelity without asking one question: What is actually different from the last generation RTX 4090? And most importantly, is it worth the upgrade?
Turns out there are a lot of differences, and it can be easy to get lost in all the numbers of CUDA cores and memory bandwidth. So with hands-on experience with these GPUs and our own benchmarking, let me tell you about what the key differences are and figure out whether this is worthwhile.
