NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090/5080 GPUs will be available to buy in just under a week!
From 2 pm on Thursday, 30th January you will be able to buy NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs on ebuyer’s website. According to NVIDIA, the RTX 5090 GPUs will boast 2x performance compared to GeForce RTX 4090 models. The next generation of graphics technology is here!
Let’s recap the key features of this game-changing innovation, what exactly are you getting?
Supreme Speed. Superior Visuals. Powered by AI.
The RTX 50 series is the first GPU to feature DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, the latest breakthrough in neural rendering technologies. Using a new AI model powered by NVIDIA’s supercomputers, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, Super Resolution, and DLAA can effectively render the most intricate elements of a scene and boost FPS to generate up to three frames per rendered frame. This leads to greater stability between frames, enhanced lighting details, and improved clarity in motion.
DLSS 4 will be supported on over 75 games the day of launch including popular titles like Black Myth: Wukong, Cyberpunk 2077, Indiana Jones: The Great Circle, Doom: The Dark Ages and Hogwarts Legacy.
Another exciting development is the introduction of NVIDIA Reflex 2, capable of reducing in-game latency by up to 75%! Developed by NVIDIA’s esports research team, this innovation represents arguably the most exciting feature for competitive gamers.
In simple terms, NVIDIA Reflex 2 allows users to aim at targets up to 30% faster by shifting or warping the existing frame. Normally, aiming to the right with a mouse would take significantly more time as the action would have to be received, and for the new camera perspective to be rendered and eventually displayed. NVIDIA Reflex 2 streamlines this process and slashes in-game latency.
Groundbreaking Realism
Ever had it when you are ‘locked in’ to a game and simple character glitches or graphics errors can completely remove you from the immersive experience?
RTX Neural Faces will allow for the most advanced rendering of digital humans in games using generative AI, leading to photo-realistic gaming characters – contributing to a much more immersive and realistic gaming experience.
In addition, RTX Neural Shaders, bring small AI networks into programmable shaders, unlocking film-quality materials, lighting and more in real-time games. The RTX Kit will be made available to game developers, enabling them to integrate individual—or all—RTX Kit SDKs directly into their rendering pipeline. We expect to see huge leaps in cinematic graphics for the latest titles.
NVIDIA ACE technologies will also contribute to increased in-game realism, by transforming in-game characters to behave more like human players. The days of carrying a useless team of computer-generated NPCs or facing unrealistically easy computer-generated foes will be a thing of the past. In PUBG for example, companions (powered by NVIDIA ACE) will dynamically work with real players to complete objectives and ensure survival.
Increased power efficiency
The RTX 5090 features significant advancements in power efficiency. Delivering nearly 600 watts of power in a compact two-slot form factor, the RTX 5090 demonstrates exceptional power management.
This advanced power management allows the card to operate at peak performance without sacrificing its structural or thermal integrity. The thermal solution features a dual flow-through fan and a 3D Vapor Chamber with integrated heat pipes, underscoring NVIDIA’s commitment to both performance and energy efficiency.
Made for Creators
The GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs come with a host of new developments and AI innovations for streamers and creators. Intelligent Streaming Assistant will give streamers access to a virtual cohost, producer and technical assistant to supercharge the quality of live streams and content creation.
The NVIDIA Broadcast app offers several exciting tools to polish streams including; Studio Voice, which upgrades microphone audio, and Virtual Key Light, which relights faces to bring your streams to life.
How to get the most out of your new GPU
Getting an RTX 5090 is like buying a Rolls Royce, it’s an elite GPU that has the potential to completely transform your gaming experience. However, it can only do this if it has the right ‘wheels’ (an appropriate monitor and PSU).
Without an appropriate monitor and PSU, you won’t benefit from the features and advancement the 5090 provides.
If you haven’t already, we strongly recommend investing in a new monitor that supports 4K resolutions and has a high refresh rate (144Hz +). Here’s what we recommend…
High-End: Samsung Odyssey Ark LS55CG970NUXXU 55 Inch 4K Ultra HD LED Gaming Monitor
- Screen Resolution: 3840x2160p 4K Ultra HD
- Refresh Rate: 165Hz
- Response Time: 1ms
- Input: HDMI/DisplayPort
- Warranty: 3 Year
Mid-Range: LG UltraGear 27GR93U-B 27 Inch 4K Gaming Monitor
- Screen Resolution: 3840 x 2160p UHD 4K
- Refresh Rate: 144hz
- Response time: 1ms
- Input: HDMI / DisplayPort
- Warranty: 2 Years
Budget–Friendly: LG 27GS75Q-B 27 Inch 180Hz HDR10 Gaming Monitor
- Screen Resolution: 2560 X 1440p QHD
- Refresh Rate: 180hz
- Response Time: 1ms
- Input: HDMI / DisplayPort
- Warranty: 2 Years
PSU
As the 5090 has a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 575W, you will need a 1000W Power supply or greater. You will also need a native 12V-2×6 connection OR 4 x 8-pin PCIe connectors and adapter. Here’s what we recommend…
CORSAIR RM1000x 1000w ATX Power Supply Unit
- Wattage: 1000w
- Efficiency: 80 PLUS Gold
- Cable Type: Modular
- ATX Support: ATX 3.1
- Warranty: 10 Years
