Did The RTX 50 Graphics Cards Deliver What They Promised?

Nvidia, a company responsible for launching electronic computers for computers, recently launched the long -awaited new generation of its video cards, the 50 series. The RTX 50 were announced as "the plates that would be superior to the 40 series." However, after its release, did these allegations prove to be true? Find out today whether Nvidia fulfilled her promises or simply ended up increasing more than she should boost the marketing.

Video cards that end with number 90 are the ones that have the highest quality and are responsible for having the largest generation processing power. For example, the RTX 4090 was the most powerful and advanced plate that existed in the component market and, because of this, it had the highest price compared to 4080, 4070, 4060 and 4050. Knowing this, you can understand the importance of plates ending with 90 on the market and its impact on computers.

The RTX 5090 was presented at the NVIDIA event in January as the most powerful sign so far, it is no wonder it has a length of 304 mm and a width of 137 mm. Showing performance that would be double a 4090, the new plate features DLSS 4 which has the new feature called Multi Frame Generation which, according to Nvidia, would increase the FPS of the games by maintaining fidelity to the charts.

The launch of the 5090 was marked with the rapid exhaustion of stock, being a problem we will already comment on, problems that occurred on the plate after the drivers update and a controversy that the multi frame generation would be producing "false frames." Even after these events, 5090 proved to be a good plate, even more than 4090, And featuring a good performance for both the gamer and creators' audience thanks to their AI resource and a 32 GB capacity equipped with GDDR7 memory that is capable of performing processes at an impressive speed.

See below the comparative video of RTX 4090 with 5090 in the games:

RTX 5080: Better Than Your Predecessor?

Below 5090 we have the RTX 5080, a sign in which it caught the public's attention because it has a relatively lower price and supposedly being able to deliver the performance similar to a 4090. However, it has been better than its predecessor or even Track the performance of 4090?

The 5080, according to the NVIDIA website, It presents a 16 GB memory configuration of GDDR7, DLSS 4, an AI tops of 1,801 and a 960 GB/sec bandwidth width that, compared to a 4080 Super, proves to be quite superior even the two plates with the same memory space of 16 GB. However, compared to a 4090, it proves to be inferior because of the 4090 has a 24 GB memory space and a 1,008 GB/sec memory width.

This plaque was eventually affected by the same high number of purchases at its launch that made the stock exhausted within a few days and there is a shortage of these new plaque. The 5080 ended up showing a great advance to its predecessor, but failed to perform similarly to 4090 without depending on the use of DLSS 4 and MFG for games.

Problems observed in the 50 series and the current GPUs market

The launch of Nvidia's new components eventually presented the high number of people who bought the new signs to exhaust the stock and then resell them with a high value because they are graphic plates that are popular with people playing games and also by those who use GPU power to create programs, videos and other elements. Because they are new products, the manufacture of these components would take months until they are replenished in stocks. Thus doing that people end up buying from the dealers these plates for the amount that was announced.

The 50 Series also showed how dependent on AIs features to have a higher frame rate. As stated earlier, the Multi Frame Generation is a feature present in the new video cards that have the ability to artificially increase the FPS of games that make new GPUs reach and exceed 4090.

The lack of competitors in the market eventually caused Nvidia to "relax" and make her products with lower configurations on purpose because she knows she doesn't have a strong rival. We can observe this simply because RTX 5080 has a 16GB RAM, being less than RTX 4090 which has a 24GB memory. AMD is one of the few companies that is a competitor of Nvidia in the GPUs market, with its Radeon RX series, selling a cheaper graphic plate than the RTX series and featuring competitive performance. Intel also competes with Nvidia with its own line called Intel Arc, but different from AMD, Intel's graphic boards perform performance that cannot compete directly with the 40 Series of RTX, getting a little back if placed side by side with 4060.

But anyway, what can this issue of Nvidia competitors affect us? Basically, since Nvidia is the largest component company for electronics and artificial intelligence, this makes a monopoly and consequently causing this company to put a great price on its products because she know that people will buy. This situation can make it launch your products with little innovation and improvement, Focusing on all these features in the most expensive product, such as the GPUs that end with 90. The lack of a strong competitor ends up affecting the lives of us buyers who will need to spend more on a product that really demonstrates an improvement.
