That's strange, several reviews mentioned cpu bottlenecks at 1440p and 1080p with the 5090.
The headline is clickbaity: the article and the Gamers Nexus video they’re quoting both include caveats. The 9800X3D is a bottleneck in most games at 1080p and some games at 1440p but it’s still powerful enough for the 5090 to show some improvement over the 4090 even at 1080p. The 1440p bottleneck is mostly minor: one game that GN tested showed 21% uplift at 1440p vs 26% at 4K.
because a lot of games coming out seem to want beefy cpus
RTX 4090 Ti Super
RTX 4090 Ti Titan Super X
The dual-slot FE cooler is a pretty stunning thermal engineering victory, and that’s where my praise for the RTX 5090 ends. 25% more money for at best 35% more performance while using about 35% more power makes this thing essentially an RTX 4090 Ti. I’m sure the halo market will eat it up anyway, but for those of us who care about trifling inconveniences such as value and actual technological advancement, it’s not even remotely a good product, and it bodes very poorly for the far smaller spec upgrades featured in the rest of the 50 series. The 5070 might not even beat the 4070 Super, and the 5070 Ti looks unlikely to even match the 4080.
and does not bode well for 5070 and 5070ti. There is a reason they priced them the way they did. Likely just matches the 4070S/4070TiS at same price point and more power...
35% more performance is a lot
That's literally not what the majority of reviewers have found though? There's bottlenecks in a lot of popular titles at 1440p, let alone 1080p.
