Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 Master 32G

RTX 5090 Review & Specifications

The RTX 5090is based on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and manufactured using the 4 nm process node. It was launched approximately 4 months, 1 week ago, originally priced at $1999. It features 21760 cores, including 170 compute units (SMs), 680 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 176 render output units (ROPs). For ray tracing and AI-accelerated tasks, it also includes 170 dedicated RT cores and 680 Tensor cores, enabling advanced rendering and upscaling features where supported. It has a base clock of 2017 MHz and a boost clock reaching up to 2407 MHz. The RTX 5090 comes equipped with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory across a 512-bit bus. Memory runs at 1750 MHz and delivers a total memory bandwidth of 1790 GB/s.

This GPU has a very high thermal design power (TDP) of 575 W. A PC case with excellent airflow and a high-quality, high-wattage power supply are essential for stable operation.

RTX 5090 Performance

RTX 5090 is an ultra high-end graphics card, achieving a relative gaming performance score of 100.00%. It serves as a reference point against which all other GPUs are compared. This GPU delivers unmatched 4K performance and is ideal for the most powerful and premium builds when paired with a high-end gaming CPU. Whether you're aiming for 300+ FPS in competitive titles at lower resolutions or 100+ FPS in AAA games at 4K with maximum visual fidelity, this is the GPU to get.

In terms of memory capacity, the RTX 5090 features an exceptionally high VRAM size of 32 GB. This allows users to push the limits of current-generation software and games. You can comfortably run modern AAA titles at ultra settings with full ray tracing enabled at 4K or 5K resolutions, even while using texture packs, high-resolution assets, and real-time lighting. The GPU also excels in professional workloads such as 3D modeling, video editing at 8K, high-resolution texture baking, and multi-layer compositing in tools like Blender, DaVinci Resolve, or Adobe After Effects. In the domain of AI and machine learning, this level of VRAM supports complex neural networks (e.g., large LLMs, diffusion models like Stable Diffusion XL) with high batch sizes, and seamless multitasking without swapping to system memory. This GPU is also ideal for creators who run multiple high-memory applications simultaneously.

Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 Master 32G has a gaming performance-per-price ratio of 24.6%, suggesting lower value in this category. However, its high raw performance makes it a viable choice for users who prioritize gaming power over budget constraints.
