Our pick: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
The RTX 5080 offers 16GB GDDR7 at 30Gbps versus the RTX 4090's 24GB GDDR6X at 21Gbps, with 10,752 vs 16,384 CUDA cores. Real-world tests show the 5080 trails the 4090 by 12-18% in 4K rasterization and 8-15% in ray tracing at $1,199 MSRP versus the 4090's $1,599 launch price.
The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX has 24GB GDDR6 memory and costs $999, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 has 24GB GDDR6X and costs $1599. In rasterization the 7900 XTX is within 10-15% of the 4090, but the 4090 leads by 30-50% in ray tracing and DLSS games.
The RTX 5090 offers 50% more CUDA cores, 32GB GDDR7 memory at 1.8TB/s bandwidth, and up to 2.1x the rasterization performance of the RTX 4090's 24GB GDDR6X at 1TB/s. It launches at $1,999 versus the 4090's $1,599 MSRP, delivering substantially higher 4K and 8K frame rates in games and AI workloads.
The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT has 16GB GDDR6 memory and costs $500, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super has 12GB GDDR6X and costs $600. The 7800 XT delivers higher rasterization frame rates in 1440p and 4K games, but the 4070 Super offers superior ray tracing, DLSS 3.5, and better power efficiency.
