RTX 5090 disappoints as it 'loses' to Black Myth: Wukong

According to Tech4Gamers , Nvidia has just launched the RTX 50 series graphics cards with many promises of outstanding performance. However, initial tests with the game Black Myth: Wukong showed an unhappy reality, when the highest-end RTX 5090 graphics card, priced at up to $ 1,999 (50.7 million VND), only achieved a frame rate of only 29 FPS at 4K resolution without DLSS 4 graphics upgrade technology enabled.

RTX 5090 Disappoints With Poor Black Myth: Wukong Performance Without DLSS 4

RTX 5090 is only really powerful with DLSS 4?

With DLSS 4 enabled, the frame rate in Black Myth: Wukong jumped to an impressive 240 FPS, showing that Nvidia is relying heavily on upscaling technology to 'rescue' the performance of the RTX 50 series cards.

Previously, many power tests showed that the RTX 50 series only brought a slight performance increase compared to the RTX 40 series without using DLSS 4. This result made many people question the real upgrades on Nvidia's new line of graphics cards.

It seems like Nvidia is focusing on developing graphics upscaling technologies like DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation rather than improving pure hardware performance. Is this the right strategy in the context of users increasingly demanding high performance at 4K resolution?

The answer will come in the near future, when the RTX 50 series is officially sold and undergoes more real-world tests.
