No one in their right mind should attempt to run Alan Wake 2 at 3440×1440 with max settings and no DLSS, but the 46.13 FPS average I achieved with the RTX 5090 represents a 24% increase over the RTX 4090’s 37.11 FPS. 1% lows were less consistent with the preview driver, but I expect that to improve post-launch in this title. And while we’re here, just look how far we have come since the RTX 3090, which is really starting to show its age in these demanding titles (12.08 FPS here!).
Black Myth Wukong offers a benchmark tool that has been most punishing thing I’ve run on modern hardware, and at max settings the RTX 5090 offers a nearly 39% increase over the RTX 4090 (47.06 FPS vs. 33.88 FPS averages). Oh, and the RTX 3090 managed 11.44 FPS in this benchmark. Let’s move on.
In the rest of the non-DLSS testing we saw the RTX 5090 produce a 30% lead in Cyberpunk 2077 v2.2, close to 37% in F1 22 (that one is getting retired soon), 20% in Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition (another older test), and 27% in Talos Principle 2. Overall, some very meaningful gains – at least at this resolution (and these unreasonably high settings).
