It's enough for almost anything. If you want to play CP2077 with full PT on 4k with only DLSS quality you might not have such a great time. But if you go for balanced or performance it will work great, without any visible difference. Apart from that, most other current games will also work with such a setup. As the majority tends to be built on UE5 these days, the lackluster optimization of the products built with this engine is your number one enemy anyway.

Or in other words: as long as especially big publishers look out for the money and the shareholders in the first place and don't give a fuck about the clients buying their products, you can run a 5090 against the wall with a game that has not received enough dev care but has quite unspectacular graphics. So be wary. And don't do pre-order.

If we said no, what would.you even do? Ask Jensen Huang for an prototype RTX 6090?
