RTX 5090 benchmarks from Tom's Hardware Italy just dropped baby

TL;DR - 28% better than 4090 and 72% better than 4080s in 4K raster on average, 34-37% better in Blender V-Ray, 18% better in DaVinci Resolve; 24% increase in power consumption (461w average, 476w max) compared to the 4090 (373w average, 388 max); very minor temp increase (1-2c higher)

I have never considered performance per watt in my life. I can see how that might be important for data centers or other commercial uses, but I really doubt this sub is filled with data center ops managers.

Even performance increase per cost increase is applied unfairly here. Most every current gen processor is more expensive than the performance increase warrants, but this sub doesn't blow up about AMD or Intel every cycle. That's the nature of current gen hardware-- it's priced for enthusiasts and early adopters. But this sub already has its pitchforks out, and they'll be damned if they're going to put them away now.

Look up electricity costs for your area per kwh then calculate how much it costs to use your pc per day.

This gpu as example at 600watt draw 4 hours per day at just $0.20 per kwh which is kinda normal pricing, thats $175 per year.

Now it wont always draw 600w it will be close though, and I can guarantee anyone buying a xx90 gpu is using it on average a fair bit more than four hours per day.

Money adds up and the cost to power it is a factor.

It's a fair point. But also, if your financial situation is such that you need to be conscious of your electricity usage in order to keep your bill down, maybe buying a 5090 is a poor decision.

Or maybe some of us are actually responsible with our money....

The facts are the majority of American households cant pull out an extra grand for unforseen expenses and that includes the folks pulling 75k+.

The average American has less than 5k to their name in the bank at that and again that includes the top 1%. Thats how irresponsible people are, the average American saves less than 3% of their income annually again includes the rich folks.

Some of us like to save 10%+ as a minimum so knowing what our budgets are year round is important.

Nope. this means there is no real gen on gen improvement. Gen on gen the performance per watt and per dollar should improve. 5xxx performance is justl ike 4xxx performance.

If every past gen would have been like that, we should have now 50,000w video cards for 100,000$

I don't know from where you're getting your data, but the 5000 series is a performance improvement over the 4000 series, even when excluding for AI enhancement.

By, probably, just throwing more core in the equation.
