800+W
"Performance
Without ray tracing or DLSS, I've measured a 9% performance uplift over the base RTX 5090 at 600 W, and +10% with the 800 W BTF mode enabled. This impressive gain comes from a combination of ASUS's large +13% factory overclock and the much better cooling solution that keeps temperatures low, allowing NVIDIA's boost algorithm to maintain higher clocks for longer. You can see the effect on this chart in my original Founders Edition review. With the Matrix's quad-fan cooler and liquid metal, the clock drop under sustained load is much smaller than on the Founders Edition, which results in consistently higher performance during actual gaming. The strongest enemy of the Matrix is the MSI Lightning Z, which comes with dual 16-pin power inputs and allows running at 1000 W. This additional power is what lets the Lightning achieve an additional, tiny, 1% performance uplift. A 10% performance gain vs the FE is outstanding—most "normal" RTX 5090s that I've tested reach 2-4%. Compared to last-generation's RTX 4090, the performance uplift is almost 50%. Over two generations NVIDIA still achieves their "twice the performance every second generation" rule: the RTX 5090 is more than twice as fast as the RTX 3090 Ti. There really isn't much on the market that RTX 5090 can be compared to. The Matrix is roughly twice as fast as AMD's current-gen flagship, the RX 9070 XT.
There's no doubt that the RTX 5090 is the card you want for 4K gaming at maximum settings with all ray tracing features enabled. I guess you could run the card at 1440p at insanely high FPS, but considering that DLSS 4.5 will give you those FPS even at 4K, the only reason why you would want to do that is if you really want the lowest latency with the highest FPS."
