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

Star Wars Outlaws is a 2024 action-adventure game developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. Set in the Star Wars universe between the events of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983), the story follows Kay Vess, a young scoundrel who assembles a team for a massive heist in order to pay off a crime syndicate. Star Wars Outlaws was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on August 30, 2024.

Engine: Snowdrop. We test using the Ultra preset but with Nvidia RTXDI disabled, DXR API. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

Lastly, we finish with Star Wars: Outlaws, a game with ray tracing at the heart of its engine. Even then, the 5090 displays relatively meagre gains over the 4090 at 1440p, given it is just 21% faster at 112fps on average.

4K does scale slightly better, this time showing the 5090 with a 25% advantage over the 4090, but that's still one of the less impressive results we have seen today.
