Now that the RTX 5090 is official, many of you are likely wondering how it compares to the RTX 4090. After all, Nvidia's current gen GPU has been sitting pretty on the GPU throne since 2022, and even top end AMD cards haven't managed to usurp its position. However, its extremely likely that it'll finally lose its crown to the green team's new Blackwell contender, especially since it's packing new AI tricks.
Even the phrase RTX 5090 vs RTX 4090 sounds a bit vicious, but Blackwell is a successor rather than a rival. The new Nvidia card is specifically designed to replace the Lovelace flagship, a tradition that has taken place every generation since the Nvidia 256 back in 1999. However, that doesn't mean the fresh GPU will universally better, as while it boasts elevated specs on paper, there's more to this match than brute performance.
