It’s a bit of an apples to oranges comparison, because the Spectrum and C64 were general purpose computing devices that ran a single program at once, whereas the 5090 is not designed to be a general purpose computer, but a massively parallel acceleration card with a pipeline designed primarily for 3D graphics rendering.
A better comparison would be to a modern general purpose computing device, like a smartphone or desktop PC.

You have a valid point but I was purely interested in raw compute power. It was just a thought experiment that turned into a bit of research.
