> When taking the geo mean across 60+ benchmarks of CUDA / OptiX / OpenCL / Vulkan Compute, the GeForce RTX 5090 was delivering 1.42x the performance of the GeForce RTX 4090. A very nice generational improvement considering many of the Windows reviews yesterday were talking up around ~1.3x the performance when not dealing with DLSS4 or similar tech. The GeForce RTX 5090 was delivering great GPU compute performance whether you are into CUDA, OpenCL, or Vulkan.
> On a performance-per-Watt basis though the GeForce RTX 5090 tended to deliver similar power efficiency to the RTX 4080/4090 graphics cards.
One thing that concerns me is running these dies at 500w+; that seems like an awful amount of heat over a very small area and increasing the power (vs the 4090) must mean also decreasing it's lifetime.
To save the money I'll just sit back and chug away on my 3000 series until it explodes, TYVM
