The king is dead. Long live the king. Since it launched in October 2022, Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090 has been the flapship GPU to beat. It’s a monstrously powerful card and one that Team Green’s rivals AMD have yet been able to rival. It truly is in a league of its own. And yet now it looks like it’s about to get bodied by an even faster graphics card.
Enter the long-rumored RTX 5090. Sources are beginning to whisper about a release date for Nvidia’s top-of-the-stack terror, with the 5090 supposedly penciled in for “late Q1 2025 or early Q2 2025 launch” (thanks, Notebookcheck). YouTuber “Moore’s Law is Dead” has also leaked the specs of the laptop version of the RTX 5090 (also just a rumor at this point), and while it obviously can’t match the desktop version, it ain’t exactly a potato.
