Frequently Asked Questions

What CPU pairs best with RTX 5090?
The RTX 5090 pairs best with high-end CPUs like the Intel Core i9-14900K or AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. These processors provide optimal performance without bottlenecking the GPU. Mid-range CPUs like the i7-13700K or Ryzen 7 7700X also work well with minimal bottlenecking.
Will RTX 5090 bottleneck with Intel Core i5-14600K?
Yes, there will be some bottlenecking with the i5-14600K, typically around 5-10% depending on the game and resolution. While still playable, you won't get the full performance potential of the RTX 5090. Consider upgrading to an i7 or i9 series for optimal performance.
What PSU do I need for RTX 5090?
We recommend at least an 850W 80+ Gold power supply for the RTX 5090. The GPU has a 450W TDP, and you need additional power for your CPU, motherboard, and other components. A high-quality PSU ensures stable power delivery and prevents system instability.
Is RTX 5090 good for 4K gaming?
Absolutely! The RTX 5090 is designed for 4K gaming with ray tracing enabled. It can achieve 60+ FPS in most games at 4K with ultra settings and ray tracing. With DLSS 4, you can even push higher frame rates while maintaining excellent image quality.
How does RTX 5090 compare to RTX 4090?
The RTX 5090 offers approximately 25-30% better performance than the RTX 4090, with improved ray tracing capabilities, more VRAM (32GB vs 24GB), and better AI performance. It's built on the new Blackwell architecture with enhanced efficiency and features.
When will RTX 5090 be available?
The RTX 5090 is expected to launch in January 2025 with a starting MSRP of $1,999. Availability may vary by region and retailer. We recommend pre-ordering or setting up notifications with retailers to secure your unit when it becomes available.
Do I need a new motherboard for RTX 5090?
You need a motherboard with a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for optimal performance, though PCIe 4.0 x16 will work with minimal performance loss. Most modern motherboards (Z790, X670E, B650E) support PCIe 5.0. Check your motherboard specifications to confirm compatibility.
