![]() The latter is 14fps higher than what the RTX 3090 Ti managed, which might disappoint given the price difference. And even where it didn’t, it still put in record-setting scores, like 79fps in Cyberpunk 2077 and 84fps in Watch Dogs Legion. Even so, the RTX 4090 represents a truly generational leap, averaging 100fps or above in all but a couple of our rasterised (non-ray traced) benchmarks. Thanks to the higher-end GPUs in the RTX 30 and AMD Radeon RX 6000 series, you already have a range of graphics card options for hitting 60fps at 4K without sacrificing much in terms of settings quality. Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming Z590-Plus WiFi.More on that to come, but first, here’s the core performance lowdown on the RTX 4090’s favourite resolution. Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 review: 4K performance The graphics megacorp is also taking its AI machine learning further than ever with DLSS 3, a distinct new upscaler that can pump out bigger FPS boosts than previous DLSS versions could ever hope for. All RTX 40 GPUs get these, not just the RTX 4090, but with redesigned RT cores and Tensor cores promising enhanced ray tracing performance and improved DLSS performance, it’s clear that Nvidia doesn’t just want faster framerates in traditional rasterised games. Then there are the less listable specs, like the underlying upgrades that form the RTX 40 series’s Ada Lovelace architecture. A small overclock, but then remember that the RTX 3090 Ti has about 5,600 fewer CUDA cores, and only boosted them to 1860MHz at stock. It also overkills the VRAM even harder, with 24GB of 384-bit GDDR6X, and on this model, Zotac has upped the boost clock speed from 2520MHz to 2580MHz. The RTX 4090 packs in 16,384 CUDA cores, over 6,600 more than the next-best RTX 4080 16GB. It's a high-maintenance component, then, though at least the specs are appropriately monstrous. The adapter that needs no fewer than four 8-pin power cables to fuel the card, which has the same mahoosive 450W consumption rating as the stock RTX 4090. ![]() Even if that weren't necessary, the honking great circuit board and triple-fan cooler are so wide that trying to reinstall the case's glass side panel would have half-crushed the PSU cable adapter on the edge. The RTX 4090 Amp Extreme Airo, at 355.5mm long and 165.5mm wide, followed in the steps of the Zotac RTX 3090 Ti I reviewed by only squeezing into my test PC’s NZXT H510 chassis after I removed the AIO cooler and fans – leaving the latter spinning outside the case like a Dead Space environmental hazard. Price: £1960 / $1700 (RTX 4090 starts at £1679 / $1599)Īnd for your better-part-of-two-grand, you get a graphics card that may not even fit in your PC's mid-tower case.Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 Amp Extreme Airo specs: Especially with the fastest Nvidia GPUs of the last generation, the RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti, now going for less than £1100 and £1200 respectively. To many, if not most PC owners, that ALL probably looks like unfathomable riches. The Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 Amp Extreme Airo model that I’ve used for testing costs £1960 / $1700 both substantial premiums, especially in the UK, on the already lofty RTX 4090 base RRP/MSRP of £1679 / $1599. And no, neither of those make the RTX 4090 good value for money, even if it makes a compelling argument for Nvidia's latest upscaling tech. You probably already knew if you were willing and able to buy the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 after seeing its price announcement, so here’s a short version of the following review: Yes, on pure performance it’s the best graphics card for 4K you can get.
