NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Blackwell heralds a new chapter in 3D graphics, and we have with us several new cards to test. Gaming graphics had several major milestones over the past 20 years, beginning with raster 3D, pixel- and vertex shaders, and real time ray tracing; now NVIDIA plans to introduce the next major milestone—neural rendering. By now you're likely aware of generative AI, and its ability to conjure up richly detailed images and video. NVIDIA and its allied researchers in 3D graphics have discovered a way give generative AI a more active role in real time graphics, with the introduction of neural shaders. The new Blackwell graphics architecture, besides bringing in generational improvements to performance and efficiency, also introduces DLSS 4, and with it, an exclusive new technology called Multi Frame Generation. The company claims to have figured out a way to get AI to not just create every other frame, but up to four frames following a conventionally rendered frame. This is a bold claim, but if NVIDIA pulls it off, the RTX 50-series will really turn the page on what's possible with current technology, and maybe even tempt game developers to give us our next Crysis.
