Graphics cardBlackwell2025PCIe 5.0 ×16Catalog
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090
The no-compromise 4K / AI card. Power, heat, and price are the cost.
What it is used for
A graphics card draws every frame, accelerates local AI, and encodes video. The 5090 is the top of that stack: huge shader count, lots of GDDR7, and DLSS / frame generation for 4K.
Good for
- 4K ultra and 8K with DLSS
- Local image models and large LLMs
- 3D viewport and GPU renders
Not the pick for
- 1080p gaming (absurd overkill)
- Small cases or 650 W power supplies
- Quiet living-room PCs
