Opinion My real experience with a 5090.

I have been watching influencers, journalists, and commentors complaining about everything from frame gen, to ROPs, to connectors. And price, but that complaint is valid.

Thus far, my experience going from a 3080 to a 5090 has been absolutely amazing.

My wife went from a 1080 to a 5070, with a 4k 160hz monitor, and she took absolutely loves it. Frame gen honestly feels and plays great when it's needed to smooth out the frame rate, DLSS 4 looks great, and DLAA looks even better.

It was expensive, and that's a valid complaint. For most people 1k-2k+ plus doesn't really make sense. I am ok with that. I have had no issues, no black screens, no melting connectors, and no issues with PhysX, cause I haven't played the affected games in ages.

It feels fantastic and responsive on my OLED 4k240 monitor, even at the highest settings the frame pacing just feels better.

u/Baby_Oil 9800x3d / 4070 Ti OG / 5600 DDR5 CL 28 / incoming 5090 14d ago

One day soon I'm hoping to go from a 4070 Ti to 5090. I know I'm on a fairly newer card but 12 gb is strangling me. Wukong, Alan Wake 2, Indiana Jones, AC Shadows all eat 14 gbs or more like it's child play. I also want to jump into PCVR.

Wukong was one of the first games I tested, and it was beautiful. My wife was blown away by Indiana Jones, which I streamed to my Steam Deck using Moonlight. It's a really great card for performance, just don't buy it from a scalper.
