What 2025 titles will *need* a 5000 series gpu?

Thought it would be interesting to check Steam to see what 'AAA' games I played for the first time in 2024:

Helldivers 2
Black Myth: Wukong
Silent Hill 2 (remake)
Dragon Age: The Veilguard

On Gamepass:
Call of duty: Black Ops 6
Indiana Jones and the Great circle.

6 games, not a huge amount really, but half were quite GPU intensive.

I replayed the entire Arkham game series in story order, including side scrolling ones at the start of the year.

The more 'Indie' titles I played in 2024

Lamplighters League (turn based)
Slay the Spire (deck builder)
Monster Train (deck builder)
Inscription (deck builder)
Nobody wants to die (First person detective)
Into the Breach (turn based)
Capes (turn based)

So my 4090 isn't doing much, really.

Owning a 4090 is just a lifestyle really, knowing that you’re better than everyone else makes the £2k worth it every day :p :cry:
 
Found a few 2025 games and upcoming patches confirmed it will use RTX 5000 series features.

Alan Wake 2
Black Myth: Wukong
Black State
DOOM: The Dark Ages
Dune: Awakening
Half Life 2 RTX
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Marvel Rivals
NARAKA: BLADEPOINT
Portal RTX
The Witcher IV
 
None. A couple of my recent posts:

Thought I'd give Indy Jones a go with native 4k full path-tracing for the sake of giving myself some insight when it comes to benching the 5090:

As a follow up to this, I had a play around with sensible settings and it’s definitely possible to enjoy this game without having the latest and greatest card. I could hit decent fps quite comfortably with few compromises.

I think that means: don’t fomo yourself into a shiny card, it’s really not necessary to enjoy games, even those that are ‘notoriously insane to run when maxed out’.

No game will ‘need’ it. Even at 4K very few games force my 7900XTX below 100fps and for those with path tracing etc I’m still on the fence. This is pretty much all that is stopping me jumping on it. If we were getting lots of excellent gaming release with a notable graphical upgrade that could use it then fine.

Seems less GPU limited and more streaming limited, a 4090 doesn’t seem to add much.

Not exactly an inspiring list, and a few of these aren't even out yet. And as I commented earlier, Witcher 4 isn't anticipated to be launched until at least 2027/28 by which point the 6000 series cards will probably be announced. Marvel Rivals already runs with high frame rates on 4080/4090 ; the added latency from MFG would be undesirable given it's a fast paced action game. Indiana Jones, Wukong ( and Dune, reportedly ) run like a dog without DLSS, even on a 4090, and there isn't much of an uplift with a 5090 ( 24 fps vs 28 fps for Wukong ). And don't get me started on the broken DLSS / FG implementation in Indiana Jones - until that is fxed it doesn't make a jot of difference which NVIDIA card you use.

ps: not having a go at you, just highlighting that there are very few quality titles coming out over the next 2 years that incentivise purchasing a 5000 series card. Most studios are still making games based on older tech to be compatible with consoles.

Only two games I played in 2024 gave me performance issues.

Black Myth Wukong. Even with dlss and fg the game did not run smoothly. The game would hitch. I was using the DF optimised settings as well.

Silent Hill 2. Game would run between 50-100 fps with an average of 70 fps. But it felt like a heavy game to run.

Oh I thought Witcher 4 is coming in 2025.

New Geforce 572.16 driver released today supported RTX 5080 and RTX 5090, now enabled DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation in Cyberpunk 2077, DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, RTX Mega Geometry, added Ultra quality ray tracing preset in Alan Wake 2, DLSS 4 With Multi Frame Generation and DLSS Ray Reconstruction in Hogwarts Legacy.
