NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series vs 40 Series
The highly anticipated RTX 50 Series GPUs are expected to produce considerably more power than their predecessors, the 40 Series, which already delivered stunning graphical performance on the industry’s biggest, most demanding games.
Just how much more power and performance is expected, though, with the RTX 50 Series?
Well, initial tests suggest the RTX 5090 is set to offer a substantial 28% improvement over the RTX 4090, offering the true pinnacle of gaming performance.
The RTX 4080 GPU is expected to deliver 15% more performance than the RTX 4080, giving gamers of all levels a supreme 4K experience.
When directly comparing the specifications, the RTX 5090 blows the 4090 out of the water – and that GPU is still absolutely outstanding.
The 5090 has 21,760 CUDA cores, considerably more than the 4090’s 16,384. Also, while the 4090 has a memory size of 24GB GDDR6X and a memory bus of 384-bit, the new-generation RTX GPU offers 32GB GDDR7 and 512-bit.
The NVIDIA corporation has taken gaming graphical performance to a whole new level with their RTX 50 Series. The 5090’s ray tracing cores stand at 170 (4th generation), compared to the 4090’s 128 (3rd generation), proving yet again how strong the latest-gen GPU is.
In terms of gaming performance, the AI-powered NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series provides superb in-game immersion.
Additionally, applications that use generative AI – like Photoshop – utilise high-end specifications to enhance productivity.
With NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 GPUs, you can easily unlock the full potential of AI on Windows PCs, enhancing your workflow, the quality of your work and the performance of your favourite games.
Which GPU is best for what you want?
At Inside Tech, we know how difficult it can be to choose the right components for your gaming PC setup. The graphics card is an essential part of the way your PC works, especially if you want to enjoy a high-quality visual experience, so we’re on hand to help you decide which GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU is best for what you want and need.
Gaming pinnacle – GeForce RTX 5090
As graphics cards go, the GeForce RTX 5090 offers best-in-class ray tracing in 4K resolution. It’s considerably faster than the GeForce RTX 4090 with multi-frame generation and delivers top-class performance.
Smooth 4K gaming – GeForce RTX 5080
If hugely impressive graphical performance is essential to your experience, but you’d like to spend a little less on your GPU, the GeForce RTX 5080 is a wise choice. This specific graphics card allows you to seamlessly play 4K and 8K gaming on your setup.
The ideal balance – GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
For the perfect balance of smooth performance, high resolution, and excellent ray tracing, the GeForce RTX 5070 is a fine choice. If you’re happy playing games at 2K to 4K resolution, the 5070 is ideal for you and helps you save some pennies.
However, the RTX 5070 Ti provides similar performance but offers an additional 4GB DDR7 memory compared to the base model – so is probably the better choice out of the two 5070 models.
