![]() This is lower than any other card we've tested today, even lower than the default setting of the ASUS STRIX (500 W). That's why I was even more surprised to see only 480 W manual adjustment range. On the back you'll find a red highlight, I like it! Under the hood we found a super powerful 24+4 phase VRM design, which should handle 600 W easily. This Colorful card comes with an excellent edgy aesthetic that's dominated by sharp angles and a black/gray color theme. ![]() Compared to AMD, the ray tracing performance is often 3x as high-AMD has to innovate here with their next-gen, or they'll fall behind too much and NVIDIA will win ray tracing. Taking a closer look at our ray tracing benchmarks we can see that the performance hit from enabling ray tracing is considerably lower than before, thanks to the various technological improvements. While previously enabling RT at 4K always meant some compromises-either upscaling or reduced settings-the RTX 4090 will give you 60 FPS with RT active in nearly all titles. ![]() Where RTX 4090 can flex its muscle is with ray tracing enabled. This is more of an interesting curiosity though, not a real issue. It seems the new architecture has a bit higher CPU overhead, which further drags down the maximum FPS the CPU can achieve. Interestingly, when CPU limited at 1080p, the RTX 4090 is clearly behind Ampere cards in several games. Maybe 1440p, if you want to drive a 144+ Hz monitor at max FPS, but you'll end up a bit CPU-limited in many titles. I wonder why Colorful didn't enable the "good" stuff by default, for the best out of the box performance?Īll this testing is done at 4K resolution and that's the only resolution that really makes sense for the RTX 4090. Since this is a dual BIOS, you'll also have to reboot the system to apply the changes. In order to activate the factory overclock, you'll have to press the "Turbo" button on the slot cover-something that a majority of people will probably miss. The Colorful GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC-V is a custom design, but it runs at reference clock speeds by default. Compared to RTX 3080 the uplift is 89%, 64% faster than Radeon RX 6950 XT. The GeForce RTX 4090 achieves incredible performance results here: +45% vs RTX 3090 Ti. With Frame Generation, the GPU will automagically generate an additional frame for each frame rendered, based on the movement in each frame-doubling FPS in the process.įor a majority of gamers, the "classic" raster performance is very important though-highest settings, RT off, DLSS off-so we made sure to extensively test this scenario using 25 games at three resolutions. Last, but certainly not least is DLSS 3 Frame Generation, which introduces a completely new way of increasing FPS. The ray tracing cores got several performance improvement features, like shader execution reordering, opacity tests and micro mesh generation (more about these on the Architecture page of this review). While the CUDA Cores haven't really changed since Ampere, the company increased L2 cache significantly, up to 72 MB from 6 MB on the RTX 3090 Ti-a huge increase. NVIDIA didn't just add "more", they also made their units smarter. On the RTX 4090, NVIDIA has enabled 16384 GPU cores (+88% vs RTX 3080, +52% vs RTX 3090 Ti)-this alone will achieve a big performance boost. The new GeForce RTX 4090 is based on the AD102 graphics processor, which is the world's first 4 nanometer GPU, fabricated at TSMC Taiwan. Unlike Ampere, which saw RTX 3080 released first, and RTX 3090 later, NVIDIA is starting with the flagship this time. ![]() Yesterday we posted our Founders Edition review, today we have seven more reviews for you: ASUS STRIX OC, Colorful Vulcan OC-V, Gigabyte Gaming OC, MSI Suprim X, MSI Suprim Liquid X, Palit GameRock OC and Zotac Amp Extreme Airo. NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace generation of GPUs made big waves just weeks ago at GTC when the new architecture was first presented.
