Each system is powered by a robust 1,500W 80Plus Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5090: The Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has solidified its position as the most potent consumer GPU available. While Nvidia has focused on enhancing performance through software, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology, the RTX 5090 still achieves an impressive 25%-30% boost in raw, hardware-based rasterization performance over the RTX 4090. It also features more VRAM (32GB vs. 24GB) and faster memory (GDDR7 vs. GDDR6). Finding this GPU at its retail price is extremely challenging; it currently sells for $3,500-$4,000 on secondary markets like eBay.
