The NVIDIA RTX 5090 Struggles To Game At 6K
Remember all those years ago, when NVIDIA bragged ever so briefly about its RTX 3090 being able to game at 8K, provided you were willing to dumb down the graphics presets and (perhaps) disable ray tracing? Well, it’s now been confirmed that the RTX 5090, NVIDIA’s most powerful consumer GPU today, can barely maintain its […] The post The NVIDIA RTX 5090 Struggles To Game At 6K appeared first on…
NVIDIA's RTX 5090, the company's most powerful consumer graphics card today, has struggled to maintain performance at 6K resolution, as confirmed by tech news outlet Techspot. The RTX 5090 is capable of gaming at 4K and even performs well with ray tracing and DLSS enabled, but the situation changes dramatically at 6K. According to the tests, the average frame rates of popular games like Cyberpunk 2077, Battlefield 6, and Doom: The Dark Ages plummeted below the 60 frames per second (fps) mark, which is considered the minimum for smooth gameplay.
For instance, Cyberpunk 2077 averaged only 42 fps at 6K, while Doom: The Dark Ages only managed 43 fps. Despite some improvements in visual quality with the latest updates, the RTX 5090 still fails to deliver an enjoyable gaming experience at this resolution. Analysts believe that 4K is likely to remain the standard for gaming for the next few years, with the next generation of GPUs potentially offering better performance at higher resolutions.
