Nvidia claims new RTX 50-series GPUs are twice as fast but benchmarks reveal mixed results

Nvidia unveiled its RTX 50-series GPUs at CES 2025, claiming they are twice as fast as the previous RTX 4090. This includes the flagship RTX 5090, which reportedly achieves this performance boost through the new DLSS 4 technology. DLSS 4 allows for multi-frame generation, significantly enhancing performance in certain games. However, benchmarks in titles like Far Cry 6 and A Plague Tale: Requiem show more modest improvements, around 1.5 times, when DLSS 4's advantages are not applicable. While Nvidia's claims suggest a major leap in performance, the reliance on DLSS 4 raises concerns about latency. The actual gaming experience may not reflect the promised performance increase, indicating that the full story behind the new GPUs is more complex.
