The Nvidia RTX 5090 is easily the best graphics card on the market right now, offering fantastic performance for gaming, creating, and AI workloads that few other cards can compete with. There is one card that can hold its own against Nvidia's latest high-end card, and that's Nvidia's last-gen flagship, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090.

Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs are just around the corner, with the first releases — the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 — dropping on January 30th. The RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 will follow that with their own releases in February, but some are already getting a sneak peek at the GPUs’ software benefits through DLSS 4.

The GeForce RTX 5090 just hit PC Labs for some early benchmarking. How does it stack up against the reigning king of graphics cards? So far, it's a beast.

New Egg has them listed Nvidia's flagship GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 cards will be available on 30 January at 6 am. New Egg has told us that its site and Newegg Canada already have the cards and systems listed in preparation.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 starts at $1,999 before you factor in upsells from the company's partners or price increases driven by scalpers and/or genuine demand. It costs more than my entire gaming PC.
