Nvidia reveals how GeForce RTX 5000 cards are actually faster than RTX 4000

Nvidia has released new performance data for its GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, including benchmark results without DLSS 4 scaling technology, which delivers significant performance gains over previous-generation RTX graphics cards.

Nvidia shared information about the performance of GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 video cards in two new games – Resident Evil 4 and Horizon Forbidden West. The first company tested only with ray tracing (RT) and without using DLSS scaling technology. The second used DLSS scaling technology, but not the latest version of DLSS 4 with a built-in Multi Frame Generation (MLG).

ComputerBase has compiled results showing performance improvements as the number of shader cores increases for each class of GPU.

According to these data, the GeForce RTX 5090 shows a 33 percent performance increase over the RTX 4090 in the specified games (Resident Evil 4 and Horizon Forbidden West). The RTX 5080, in turn, is 15% faster, and the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 are about 20% faster than their Ada Lovelace generation predecessors.

Nvidia’s new graphics cards include other games, but these results are not suitable for comparison, since the company used settings with the multiframe generator enabled for the new cards, and the GeForce RTX 40 series models do not support it, which makes the comparison unfair.

The results of the pure raster performance of the new video cards will most likely become known after the publication of the first independent reviews, which are expected on January 24.
