I upgraded to the GIGABYTE - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 WINDFORCE 32G GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 Graphics Card (Black) from a previous-gen RTX card, and the difference is ridiculous in the best way.
I’m running this in a high-end rig paired with a 48" Samsung widescreen display, and it chews through every game I throw at it. In Battlefield 6 and Black Ops 7, I’m playing on ultra settings across the board (textures, shadows, ray tracing, you name it), and I’m still getting around 236 FPS on that 48" ultrawide. Gameplay is insanely smooth and responsive — no stutters, no dips, even in big chaotic firefights.
The WINDFORCE cooling system is also solid. Even under extended gaming sessions, temps stay under 56C and the fans never get annoyingly loud. The triple-fan setup and overall build feel solid and premium, and PCIe 5.0 gives you plenty of bandwidth to keep this thing fed for years.
Yes, it’s an expensive card, but if you’re looking for:
Ultra settings in modern AAA titles
200+ FPS on a large widescreen
Cool and quiet operation
A GPU that’s clearly built for the long haul
…then this RTX 5090 WINDFORCE is absolutely worth it. If you’ve got the rest of your system to match, this card is a beast.

I waited 6 months to find an RTX 5090 at MSRP! Best Buy even gave me $10 off coupon so I ended up paying $1989.00 shipped to my door. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The Gigabyte Windforce 5090 is a beast! Super stable, thermals are fantastic. No complaints. Thank you Best Buy!
