Expecting to play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at 1440p on an RTX 5090, SA gamers want a concrete sense of the experience. The pairing delivers a smooth, maxed-out result with room to spare.

Quick Answer

At 1440p the RTX 5090 runs Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 well above 100fps maxed with ray tracing, and beyond 144fps with DLSS, comfortably feeding a high-refresh panel. The card has clear headroom at this resolution, so every setting can stay maximised while the game stays buttery smooth.

The 1440p experience

Expect a consistently smooth 1440p experience: above 100fps with everything maxed and ray tracing enabled, rising past 144fps once DLSS is active. The 5090 is not stretched here, so frame pacing stays even and there is headroom to spare. For a 1440p 240Hz panel, DLSS plus the card's raw power keeps frames high.

Getting the best result

Max the visuals and turn on ray tracing without worry, then use DLSS quality to lift frames toward your monitor's refresh ceiling. A small frame cap below that ceiling smooths pacing if you like. Since the card has spare capacity at 1440p, this title looks and runs superbly, and a 4K panel would put the rest of the 5090 to work.

Bottom Line: Expected 1440p RTX 5090 experience

To sum up for SA buyers weighing this: Expect a consistently smooth 1440p experience: above 100fps with everything maxed and ray tracing enabled, rising past 144fps once DLSS is active. The 5090 is not stretched here, so frame pacing stays even and there is headroom to spare. This keeps the decision grounded in what actually changes the experience rather than headline numbers, so you spend where it counts.
