The GOAT 5090
Starting with the 30 series, NVIDIA has consistently made the 90 model the pinnacle of its lineup, featuring cutting-edge technology. The 3090 set the bar as a powerhouse at launch, the 4090 pushed performance even further, and now we have the 5090. Explore its specifications below:
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| GPU Engine Specs | |
| NVIDIA CUDA® Cores | 21,760 |
| Shader Cores | Blackwell |
| Tensor Cores (AI) | 5th Generation, 3,352 AI TOPS |
| Ray Tracing Cores | 4th Generation, 318 TFLOPS |
| Boost Clock (GHz) | 2.41 |
| Base Clock (GHz) | 2.01 |
| Memory Specs | |
| Standard Memory Config | 32 GB GDDR7 |
| Memory Interface Width | 512-bit |
For a quick perfomance comparison between the 5090 and 4090 you can check the graph below:
Founders Edition
“The limited NVIDIA GeForce RTX Founders Edition graphics cards are a masterpiece of design, crafted with premium materials, distinctive aesthetics, and advanced cooling technology.”
GeForce RTX 5080
“The GeForce RTX 5080 is up to twice the speed of the GeForce RTX 4080 in games, thanks to the Blackwell architecture and DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation. With new 5th gen Tensor Cores, 4th gen RT Cores, and 16GB of GDDR7 memory providing up to 960 GB/sec of total memory bandwidth (a 34% increase compared to the GeForce RTX 4080’s 717 GB/sec), the GeForce RTX 5080 delivers a massive leap in performance for gamers and creators.” NVIDIA claims.
For some perfomance metrics:
GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
NVIDIA kept on mentionning, on their website, “2x Faster than the previous generation”, This is something that cannot be confirmed yet, still I believe its possible. NVIDIA claims that h the 5070 Ti is 2X faster than the 4070 Ti.
GeForce RTX 5070
Yep you guessed it right, its 2X faster than the 4070, this rises the excitement for testers to push those cards to their limits.

Personal Notes
On my side of town, its worth the wait and money, based on the graphs and performs, even price, this is the best GPU launch ever for consumers, just one thing, what does AMD Has to offer to compete with THAT.
