    Phoronix: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Linux GPU Compute Performance Benchmarks

    While there have been a lot of GeForce RTX 5090 Windows gaming benchmarks since the review embargo lift yesterday, for those more fascinated by this high-end Blackwell desktop graphics card for its GPU compute potential on Linux, this article is for you. Up today are my very initial GPU compute benchmarks for the GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition on Linux with NVIDIA graphics card comparisons across the prior RTX 20, RTX, 30, and RTX 40 series too.

    Impressive performance, but not impressive power consumption. Seeing worse efficiency against previous generation makes me think we're arrived at the gate for this technology and production process.

      That's right... It's true that there are 512-bit wide memory interfaces and an The overwhelming number of CUDA cores...
      It doesn't have that much impact...

        Very fast card, but too much power consumption and too expensive.... a niche market .

          How they are with the energy consumption...

            There's another blatant downside. A major one, too.

            The drivers are not Open Source.

              Absolutely insane memory speed and good performance, but I'm disappointed by the efficiency regression.

                It uses the same processing node apparently, so it simply sucks. Waited 2 years for this garbage.

                  Where are you seeing worse efficiency?
                  From Michael's (summary) graphs:
                  4090 - 139W (avg) for 1937 perf score - 13.94 points/W
                  5090 - 207W (avg) for 2757 perf score - 13.32 points/W


                  If you factor in how efficiency tanks when you up the power draw, keeping the same ratio is quite a feat.

                    A sad day when AMD or Intel aren't even worth taking a look anymore
