RTX 5090 frame rates in Marvel Rivals at 1440p

On the RTX 5090 Marvel Rivals runs at roughly 180-240 fps at max settings and 1440p. Marvel Rivals is a 6v6 hero shooter on Unreal Engine 5 where steady frame pacing wins fights. To turn those frames into a smooth session you need a 1440p 165-240Hz display; pairing a 5090 with a 60Hz screen wastes most of the card. A Ryzen 7 9800X3D or Core Ultra 7 keeps the 1% lows tight so the average never feels choppy. Evetech ships these as complete, tested builds rather than loose parts, which matters at this price.

Building around the RTX 5090 in SA

Locally an RTX 5090 build runs past R60,000, so the rest of the spec has to earn its place. A quality 1000W power supply such as a Corsair RM1000e or MSI MAG A1000GL from around R2,800 gives the RTX 5090 the transient headroom it needs. Pair the card with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D or better and 32GB of DDR5-6000 so nothing chokes the GPU, and put it behind a 1440p 165-240Hz display to actually see the frames. Skip the 5090 if your monitor tops out at 60Hz or 1080p 144Hz; you would feel a 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT far less. Every Evetech build ships assembled, stress-tested and locally warrantied, which is the real reason to buy a flagship here rather than import a bare card.
