Indiana Jones and the Great Circle at 8K – a fitting swansong for the Nvidia RTX 4090, or a sign that we need the RTX 5090?

When playing at4K, I was always able to whack up options to the max with abandon.

I understand its power now

My initial tests were certainly impressive.

Considering just how good this game looks, that’s very impressive.

But what happens when ‘full’ ray tracing is turned on?

Fortune and glory, kid.

So, things like shadows, shades and colors through transparent surfaces are all replicated realistically.

Pretty, sure, but absolutely unplayable.

This is whereDLSS(Deep Learning Super Sampling) comes in.

Changing DLSS to ‘Balanced’ allowed the RTX 4090 to hit 59fps without full ray tracing on.

This did the trick and our 8K test rig hit 60fps with full ray tracing on medium.

Or is it a sign that the RTX 5090’s arrival is just on time?

In a way, it’s a little bit of both.

It certainly leaves an impressive legacy that the RTX 5090 will struggle to live up to.
