NVIDIA RTX 5000 GPUs: Performance without DLSS – are they worth it?
NVIDIA revealed new info surrounding its upcoming RTX 5000 GPUs, including non-DLSS performance. NVIDIA had one of the biggest announcements out of CES 2025, revealing its new 50-series RTX graphics cards. The new GPUs came with some bold claims, including RTX 5070 performance that could match the RTX 4090's power for a fraction of the price.
Nvidia’s new next-gen GPU benchmarks cause concern among PC gamers, particularly with the RTX 5080 – but don’t panic yet
Not convinced RTX 5000 is a winner? Folks worried about a reliance on ‘fake frames’ may not be that impressed with these fresh benchmarks.
Over 80% of GeForce RTX owners enable DLSS when gaming
Most PC games launch with DLSS support, and according to NVIDIA over 80% of GeForce RTX owners are gaming with DLSS enabled to boost performance.
Nvidia says the RTX 5080 is ‘about’ 15% faster than the RTX 4080 without DLSS
Nvidia has provided some more concrete performance estimates for its upcoming RTX 50-series graphics cards without DLSS turned on.
Nvidia's RTX 5090 still can't game in 4K without DLSS 4
That's where DLSS 4 comes in. With the latest iteration of Nvidia's frame generation technology, you'll be able to game in 4K with frame rates over 200 fps. Of course, you're relying on software performance to generate all of those additional frames rather than pure silicon, and not all games offer DLSS 4 support.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Nvidia, good on you - RTX 4000 series GPUs will receive DLSS Frame Generation enhancements this month
Nvidia may have come under heavy criticism during the RTX 4000 series launch, but that's changed now with the RTX 5000 series and DLSS 4.
Nvidia’s DLSS 4 isn’t what you think it is. Let’s debunk the myths
Nvidia's new DLSS 4 feature is an exciting update for RTX users, but it's been drowned in a sea of assumptions and misunderstandings.
Can Nvidia’s RTX 5070 really deliver RTX 4090 performance for $549?
Nvidia’s big RTX 5070 claim is all based on its latest generation of DLSS. “Impossible without artificial intelligence,” admits Huang after promising that the RTX 5070 can deliver RTX 4090 levels of performance. DLSS 4 has a new Multi Frame Generation technique that can generate up to three additional frames per every traditionally rendered frame.
NVIDIA admits the obvious, says RTX 5070 no match for RTX 4070 without DLSS
NVIDIA's own performance charts suggest that the newly unveiled RTX 5070 is only 20 per cent faster than its predecessor.
NVIDIA has shown tests without DLSS — RTX 5090 is 30% faster than 4090, other graphics cards received less acceleration
The advantage of NVIDIA RTX 50xx Blackwell video cards over their predecessors without using DLSS is 15–30% — the company has released additional
GeForce RTX 50 Series raw performance confirmed by NVIDIA: RTX 5090 is 30% faster than RTX 4090
DLSS 4 performance for the GeForce RTX 50 Series. And outside of the RTX 5090 we're looking at 15-20% gains over the RTX 40 Series.
