Nvidia releases new RTX 50 vs RTX 40 benchmarks

At CES last week, Nvidia officially announced the new RTX 50 series graphics cards. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are set to launch later this month, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 in February. One week on from the big reveal, Nvidia has now released its own performance comparisons, giving us an early look at the RTX 5090 vs the RTX 4090, the RTX 5080 vs the 4080, and comparisons for the new RTX 5070 GPUs. 

The graphs above showcase the RTX 5090 vs the RTX 4090, RTX 5080 vs RTX 4080, RTX 5070 TI vs RTX 4070 Ti and the RTX 5070 vs RTX 4070, respectively. In these tests, Nvidia is running games at 4K with max settings, with DLSS on where applicable. This includes Frame Gen for the RTX 40 cards and Multi Frame Gen (Frame Gen 4X Mode) for the RTX 50 cards. These settings apply for all of the performance comparisons Nvidia is publishing today.

According to Nvidia's numbers, the RTX 5090 will be as much as 2x faster with Multi Frame Gen, compared to the RTX 4090 with Frame Gen. As a reminder, Multi Frame Gen is an updated version of Nvidia's frame generation technology, allowing for up to three frames to be generated for every ‘real' rendered frame. The Blackwell Architecture was designed to enable this functionality, and it looks like Frame Generation technologies will be a big part of the discussion when it comes to new graphics cards moving forward, as AMD and Intel are also working on AI-powered Frame Gen techniques.

The final set of comparison results Nvidia released today focuses on the RTX 5080 laptop GPU vs the RTX 4080 laptop GPU. There will be a full suite of RTX 50 powered laptops from the likes of Acer, MSI, Gigabyte, Razer, Alienware and others, starting in March, so it will be a couple more months before we can get independent laptop benchmarks to compare against Nvidia's results.
