With an early MSI Suprim Liquid RTX 5090 graphics card in hand, we ran some early benchmark tests and overclocked the most extreme version of the Nvidia flagship.

There are PC gamers already camping outside of Micro Center waiting to pick up NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards.

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.

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.

DLSS Frame Generation could be coming to all GeForce RTX gamers in the future, thanks to DLSS 4's optimizations and AI improvements.

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.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is one of the most powerful (and expensive) graphics cards ever, and uses AI to further enhance its gaming performance.
