What does this comparison mean?
The 5090 leads the 4090 in the supplied continuous benchmark and has 32GB against 24GB. These unusually fast cards need price and workload context beyond one FPS figure.
RTX 4090 24GB has 24GB and RTX 5090 32GB has 32GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
RTX 4090 24GB
The RTX 4090 set a striking new high-end performance level and held the top consumer gaming position until Blackwell. Its power and price put it beyond most builds, yet its technical lead gives it an unusually clear place in GPU history.
RTX 5090 32GB
The RTX 5090 moved the top consumer performance bar again with 32GB of GDDR7. Its power draw and price are central to the verdict; the card is too new to earn an enduring Hall of Fame judgement.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage above compares the higher model average with the lower one; the score scales every model against the fastest GPU in the current dataset, which scores 100. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS, and the percentage may change with the benchmark dataset.
RTX 5090 source check: the later owner-supplied final benchmark workbook records 784 FPS in row 2. This is the value used in this comparison.
