TL;DW: At 4K, the RTX 5090 hits 20-50% uplifts in raster as compared to the RTX 4090, and 27-35% uplifts in RT as compared to the RTX 4090. Power efficiency is roughly equivalent to the 4090. The new dual flowthrough cooler design seems to perform exactly as advertised, providing remarkable cooling for a card that is only two slots thick.

To be honest, GN is not worth your viewing time anymore. He's just trying to stir drama on tech YouTube for the sake of starting drama...

He got multiple olive branches offered to stop the drama and he just threw them on top of the fire. He's being a manchild for no reason.

He has explicitly stated that the main GN channel will have no more drama. It goes to the website or the consumer advocacy channel. He and his team are still doing reviews and other contentt that is well worth watching if you care about the topic.

GN is correct though, and you sound like you're subbed to LTT.

What drama has GN stirred up that wasn't warranted?

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

A whole lot of shit slinging at LTT for no real reason. At when LTT rebuked the claims and suggested to stop doing so and work together in the future, GN just decided to double down and continue.

A bunch of childish stupid drama tbh, but very one-sided.

LTT deliberately fucked over a small boutique water cooling shop. They had a host if other fuckery that needed to be exposed. Why would GN chill out when LTT was doing stuff that directly opposed GN's pro-consumer and pro-small business values?

... that wasn't warranted?

Don't want to get into a whole argument, But ltt suggested to stop throwing dirt. GN turned around and just continued slinging dirt. Just feels weird to me.

You "don't want to get in a whole argument" because you're trying to misrepresent what happened.

LTT has been going down hill for years and not owning up to their issues. GN has been calling them out on it.

LTT F'd over a small water cooling business and it took GN and others to get a half asses apology and a a minuscule amount of reparations.

LTT cut ties with a company that was stealing from content creators but instead of speaking out and telling everyone they were stealing, LTT stayed quiet.

LTT didn't extend an olive branch at first, they first asked for receipts and GN provided them. Until LTT asked for receipts GN had not publicly called LTT out for their plagiarism of GN's work.

In that case, I suggest you stop throwing dirt at GN.

Not for no reason, drama gets attention. Also most tech reviewers are shameless shills
