With DLSS 4 and 4x frame generation enabled, as well as DLSS set to Performance, the RTX 5090 was hitting a whopping 290 fps and over 40ms of latency. This was with Nvidia’s Reflex 1, as Reflex 2 wasn’t available for this test.

The first of NVIDIA's RTX 5000 GPUs is expected at the end of January, and the company has released details surrounding non-DLSS performance. Here's what you need to know.

NVIDIA's RTX 5000 range of graphics cards pack a huge punch. But one of the biggest improvements of the new GPU range is the addition of DLSS 4, which promises better frame generation and upscaling to make your games feel as native as possible.

Nvidia has provided some more concrete performance estimates for its upcoming RTX 50-series graphics cards without DLSS turned on.

Without DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, the Nvidia RTX 5090 doesn't offer as big a performance leap as some users might have hoped.
