Nvidia’s next-generation RTX 5090D graphics card offers around 20% higher raw performance than the RTX 4090 without AI-powered DLSS 4 and frame generation technology. However, this improvement may still fall short of the gaming community’s expectations. The details are in the news…
Nvidia RTX 5090D GPUs have a 20% increase in raw performance
In fact, the launch of the RTX 50-series has prompted mixed reactions. While Nvidia promised impressive FPS numbers with AI technologies like DLSS 4 and frame generation, the raw performance improvements were more limited. With DLSS and ray tracing turned off, RTX 5090D can deliver 20% more performance than RTX 4090. That’s not bad for a cross-generational update, but gamers were expecting a bigger jump.
The RTX 5090D is Nvidia’s special edition for the Chinese market, with limited AI and cryptocurrency processing capabilities. While the card can be overclocked at 2600 MHz, its memory has been reduced, resulting in 896 GB/s of bandwidth. In contrast, the RTX 4090 can reach 2610 MHz and offers 912 GB/s of memory bandwidth.
The contribution of DLSS 4 to performance increase is an important topic of discussion for gamers. When DLSS 4 and MFG are maxed out, the RTX 5090D is said to deliver the performance Nvidia promised. However, without these technologies, the improvements are unsatisfactory for many users.
The RTX 5090D continues to demonstrate the potential of Nvidia’s next-generation GPUs, but the limited raw performance improvements could be controversial among gamers. Will AI-powered technologies like DLSS 4 make up the difference, or will Nvidia have to make even bigger leaps? Only time will tell.
