Maybe, same x86 architecture wat. If can connect, Maybe take months to execute 1 simple instruction?

Overlooking at 99999999ghz and buy the liquid nitrogen cooling for cpu. Maybe

Can work or not ah... IT experts can advise?

Nope.

80486 era PCs supported only 32bit legacy PCI bus. 5090 is PCI-E.

32bit PCI operating at 66 Mhz is capable of a bus speed of 266MBps

PCIE 5.0 which I assume is what a 5090 will use has a 16-lane bus speed of 64GBps.

Go do the math yourself.

Nevermind that the connectors and operating voltage are completely different lol.

Can mod the connectors and use external psu.

Different bus voltage and clocks. Instruction sets also different. I suppose a really smart engineer might be possible to construct a hardware interface board that allows a 486 era device to actually use a PCIE GPU for basic video output.

Fastest pci version of Nvidia card maybe.
You have to remember, pci was the fastest
thing in 486.

End up might as well just get a modern motherboard.

Powering up a 8088, 80286, 80386 and 80486 system does bring back the memories.

From Windows 3.11 to Win 95, there's really a wow factor. Today it's nostalgic to run a 80486 system in DOS mode. 8088/80286 see the base memory slowly counting to 640kb before the system boots.
