Nvidia RTX 5090 Review: Ray Tracing, DLSS 4, and Raw Power

Returnal is a 2021 roguelike video game developed by Housemarque and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released for the PlayStation 5 on April 30, 2021 and Windows on February 15, 2023. The game follows Selene Vassos, an astronaut who lands on the planet Atropos in search of the mysterious “White Shadow” signal and finds herself trapped in a time loop. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Unreal Engine 4. We test using the Epic preset, Epic ray traced shadows and reflections, DXR API. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

Next up is Returnal which only includes ray traced shadows and reflections, allowing the 5090 to cruise to 155fps on average at 1440p, though that's a relatively small 22% gain over the 4090.

Up at 4K it manages 95fps, a slider wider margin of 28% compared to its predecessor, while it's 66% ahead of the 4080 Super.
