Everything we know about the 4090 since its announcement.
Jack Hermenau published September 21, 2022
Nvidia just announced the arrival of the RTX 4090, and it’s a lot to unpack. Very few of the company’s specific, meaningful performance metrics have been released; However, from what’s provided, it’s safe to say that it will be a video card’s powerhouse- both in physical size and performance. Additionally, the card is said to retail for USD 1,600. here is Everything you need to know about the RTX 4090 specs, price and build.
RTX 4090 Specifications and Relative Performance
To understand this graph, it is necessary to know that it is not just regular performance: it is a measure of performance between two cards using duplicate settings in the game. According to Nvidia’s provided graph, the RTX 4090 has anywhere from 2-4 times the raytracing performance of the previous generation 3090ti.
With a massive 16,384 CUDA cores, the RTX 4090 has a 64% increase compared to the 3090ti’s 10,752 cores. It also sports a 2.52 GHz boost clock speed compared to the 3090ti’s 1.9 GHz. The size and type of memory remains consistent between both builds.
Ultimately, the 4090 should outperform the 3090ti in every application, by how much is still unknown. The third generation 40 Series of DLSS is both superior and exclusive to the Ada Lovelace architecture, and in applications using the technology, the performance gap will only widen.
What are DLSS and raytracing?
DLSS stands for Deep Learning Super Sampling, it is essentially a form of Anti Aliasing and is exclusive to Nvidia GPUs. The AI within the Nvidia GPU lowers the resolution of the image, then with some AI magic makes the image more similar to the original picture—but with the performance cost of the downsized resolution.
Simply put:
- It maintains image quality
- reduces rough edges
- Improves FPS
In addition, Raytracing is a hyper-realistic form of lighting within an application, allowing the GPU to shade objects more accurately. This allows the GPU to detect rays of light as they bounce off an object in the game scene to the end where it meets the light source, greatly amplifying the light.
Here is an example of a portal, before and after raytracing.
RTX 4090 Build
Don’t make the mistake of buying a new 4090 without a compatible motherboard, or a beefy processor to support it. The card, retailing at US$1,600 at the time of release, is entitled to comparable parts to support it.
Additionally, make sure you have least a 1,000-watt power supply; Although many people will claim that Nvidia cards are efficient on power, understand that this is a huge graphics card and will deliver significantly more power than expected when under demand. For authentic performance you should expect running one of the latest processors, 32Ghz DDR4/DDR5 RAM and a modern motherboard.
It makes for a complete stay of RTX 4090 Price, Specs and Builds, Be sure to search Twinfinit for more news and information on NVIDIA, including Overwatch 2’s performance on the new graphics card.
