Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition Review

Summary

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has officially taken the performance crown from the RTX 4090, but with less force than previous generations. When it comes to traditional non-AI gaming performance, the RTX 5090 provides one of the smallest generational uplifts in recent memory. However, in games that support it, DLSS 4 really does deliver huge performance gains – you just have to make your peace with the fact that 75% of the frames are generated with AI.

DLSS 5 will Never Look as Good as V-Rally 3 on the Game Boy Advance

6 months - DLSS 5's AI generated game "enhancement" has gone down like a lead balloon in the gaming community. But there's plenty of love out there for the humble Game Boy Advance, a dinky little machine with a 16MHz processor that could barely handle more than 20 polygons on screen. And still, I'd rather play V-Rally 3 on the Game Boy Advance than see another frame of Starfield being butchered by Nvidia's devisive new tech, that takes infinitely more energy to generate than the twin-AA powered GBA could ever dream of. Maybe we need to consider that less is more. Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 undoubtedly look better with raytracing enabled, and technologies like DLSS and AMD's FSR have been crucial for achieveing it. But is DLSS 5's AI filter a step too far?

Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design

6 months, 1 week - So, Nvidia just revealed DLSS 5, its new AI graphics tech that uses generative systems to “enhance” video games with more photo-realistic effects, and I’m not going to worry about mincing my words here: I think it looks shit. Yes, we’ve barely seen a minute of it in action, but if what’s teased is where technology giants think the future of graphics tech in games is going, then I’m afraid I’m out.
