NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Benchmark and Specs

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090

Released in 2025, the GeForce RTX 5090 is a GPU from NVIDIA. According to our GPU Benchmark, this GPU is an incredible card for gaming with a score of 42789 points.

The GeForce RTX 5090 has 32 GiB of GDDR7 memory. The memory bus has a width of 512 bits. If you plan on gaming at higher resolutions with higher quality textures, more memory is important. Without enough memory, performance will be degraded.

In terms of clock speed, the GeForce RTX 5090 GPU core runs at a frequency of 2017 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 2407 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.

As for rendering API support, the GeForce RTX 5090 supports up to DirectX 12.00. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.60 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.

Power and thermals for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 575 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
