Just some fun trying to project plain vanilla RTX 5090 performance.
TFLOPS (FP32):
RTX 3090 = 36.
RTX 4090 = 83.
RTX 5090 = 105.

We know - based on 4K performance results from TechPowerUp and Guru3D:
A difference from 36 tflops (RTX 3090) to 83 tflops (RTX 4090), which is a performance increase of 131%, resulted in real-world gaming performance increase of 64%.
Based on that, an increase of 2.04 tflops was associated with 1% increase in real-world gaming performance.
An increase of 22 tflops from RTX 4090 to 5090 this way would only predict an increase of 10% in real-world gaming performance - without the use of any DLSS.
I bet RTX 5090 will be faster than 10% compared to RTX 4090 in non-DLSS 2D games, but interesting to see how much...
Seems I'm not the only one worried that the jump from 83 tflops to 105 will not mean much to VR:

- but it's all speculation until we get the real benchmark numbers. Still, 4090 added nearly 50 tflops to 3090, so Nvidia adding only 20 tflops to 4090 with the 5090 does seem very limited.
