But this simply isn’t the case with the 4090, and I imagine many consumers will want to make use of the big changes to the new 4000 series of GPUs.ĭespite the GPU itself looking like a blast from the past, the design is very minimalist and doesn’t offer much in terms of aesthetic. The architecture improvement is definitely significant, and many consumers were worried we’d end up in a similar situation to the RTX 2000 cards, where they were very much ‘all bark and no bite’. I honestly can’t wait to see what consumers do when we get access to the RTX Remix technology, which will bring Ray-Tracing to older DX11 and DX10 titles. Games have never looked better with the introduction of Ray-Tracing, and the 4090 is able to handle the global illumination and lighting techniques used to increase the visual fidelity of your favourite titles. Speaking of Ray-Tracing, we’ve also seen an increase in the amount of RT cores for the 4090, which is the driving force of the Ray-Tracing capability within games. Doing this offers massive improvements to gameplay and allows you to experience 4K with Ray-Tracing maxed out, reducing the significant performance overhead. Nvidia has trained their AI to be able to predict 2 out of 3 frames and redraw them whilst your game is running in real-time.

Nvidia is now using DLSS 3.0 on the new RTX 4000 cards and boy does it increase frame output! Besides the overall improvements to the resolution scaler that increases your average frames, the Frame Generation integration is mind blowing.

The biggest change that we’ve seen is the drastic improvement to DLSS. In this review, we’ll be breaking down the architecture and looking at the very different but hopefully improved design, along with some all-important benchmarks towards the end. We don’t tend to get many liquid cooled GPUs in the office, so it was exciting to get this across my desk to take a look at it.

This card sports the same hardware as the Founders Edition 4090, with a slightly improved clock speed and a liquid cooled design. Its been very busy in the GeekaWhat offices of late, and we’ve been working day and night to benchmark these new GPUs so that we can see how they hold up compared to the competition and previous generations.Īnd today, I’ve got a rather interesting SKU from MSI to introduce you to. We’ve been anticipating the release of this beast and now we can finally talk about how insane these new cards are. Nvidia’s new RTX 4000 series has arrived, and the first card releasing is their flagship Founders Edition 4090.
