The RTX 5090 offered the most improvement in Steel Nomad (4K), scoring 14,133 points—some 53% higher than the RTX 4090’s 9,216. The previous-generation card did close the gap in other tests, like Time Spy Extreme (2160p), where the RTX 5090’s advantage dropped to 31% but still gained an average advantage of 39% over the RTX 4090.

Blender result puts NVIDIA's RTX 5090 graphics card at around a third faster than the RTX 4090, although the RTX 5090D is somewhat off that pace.

Benchmarks for the RTX 5090 and the 5090D were leaked to the Blender benchmark database, showing the cards are modestly faster than the RTX 4090.

With well over a 30% performance increase over the RTX 4090 in most tests, this new Nvidia gaming GPU definitely appears to be fast.

Nvidia’s RTX 5090 Founders Edition is a two-fan GPU that’s seriously hefty, though somehow smaller and more menacing than the RTX 4090.
