GeForce RTX 5090 could not overtake RTX 4090 in the Passmark calculation test

The recently released NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 video card was unable to take a leading position in the GPU Passmark performance tests, remaining behind the GeForce RTX 4090, which continues to hold a place with the result of 27,275 operations per second. RTX 5090, tested only on 13 copies, shows the average result, which will probably not change significantly, and is inferior to RTX 4090 by 18%. At the same time, the RTX 5090 only a little ahead of the RTX 4080, demonstrating the advantage of 9.3%.

The situation with the GeForce RTX 5080 also raises questions. The average result of this card is 19,250 OPS based on 111 tests, which puts it at the level with RTX 4070 Ti, which lagged behind only 2.7%. RTX 4080, in turn, shows an advantage of 9.8% over the RTX 5080. These results are surprising, especially given that the new GEFORCE 50 graphics cards use the PCIe 5.0 X16 interface, which provides a higher data exchange rate (32 GT/s) сравнению с PCIe 4.0 x16 (16 ГТ/с), используемым в серии GeForce 40.

Сравнительные графики показывают, что результаты RTX 5090 и RTX 5080 ниже, чем у их предшественников, что может указывать на то, что Passmark has not yet updated his diagrams. In the worst case, the RTX 4090 can increase its advantage to 22.5% over RTX 5090, and RTX 4080 - to 11.6% over RTX 5080. The difference between RTX 5080 and RTX 4070 Ti is minimal, only 57 OPS, which is equivalent to the advantage of the new card In total, 0.3%.

these data emphasize that, despite new technologies and interfaces, performance does not always correspond to expectations.
