It looks great installed inside a case.ĭisassembly appears to be very difficult and should give pause to any enthusiast who may have custom watercooling in mind. However, the larger Ada Lovelace card tends not to heat up like the RTX 3090 and it is also much quieter under full load. The RTX 4090 Founders Edition is a beautiful card with a very unique industrial style, and it’s larger than the RTX 3090 which is itself an imposing card. The other end offers a removable plate for enthusiasts to use a support bracket. Three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors are included, and the HDMI 2.1 connector allows for 4K/120Hz or 8K/60Hz over a single HDMI cable. The connectors are similar to the Founders Edition of the RTX 3090. The IO panel has a very large air vent and four connectors. Turning the card over, we see a similar design of the Ada Lovelace FEs to the Ampere cards with a fan also on the other side. Newer PSUs may offer the new PCIe Gen5 single cable connector instead of a bulky quad cable. The power connector adapter requires three or four molex cables from the PSU to operate the fourth cable is for overclocking. It is a very heavy 3-slot card and we use two thumbscrews to lock it down, taking care not to damage our PCIe slot. The RTX 4090 Founders Edition exudes a premium and solid feel from its industrial design. Inside the box and beneath the card are warnings, a quick start guide, and warranty information, plus the PCIe Gen5 power cable adapter to quad PCIe 8-pin cables that will be required to connect the RTX 4090 to most PSUs. The extra thick packing of the box protects the card. However, it easily fits in our Corsair 5000D ATX mid-tower. The RTX 4090 requires an 850W power supply unit – 100W more than the RTX 3090 – and the case must have space for a 304mm (L) x 137mm (W) x 61mm (H) three-slot card. The system requirements, contents, and warranty information are printed on the bottom of each box. Score 10/10 for presentation but not so well for environmental consciousness and recyclability However, the RTX 4090 box is much thicker and probably close to 50% larger. Just like as with all RTX 3000 Founders Edition cards, the RTX 4090 comes in a similar “shoebox” style where the card inside lays flat at an slight incline for display. Let’s first take a quick look at the RTX 4090 Founders Edition before we go to the test configuration The RTX 4090 Founders Edition Unboxing All games and benchmarks are the latest versions, and we use the latest GeForce Game Ready press drivers for games and for testing pro apps, and Adrenalin 22.10.1 for the RX 6900 XT benching. We benchmark using Windows 11 Pro Edition 2H22 at 2560×1440 and at 3840×2160 using Intel’s Core i9-12900K and 32GB of T-FORCE DELTA RGB 6400MHz CL40 DDR5 2x16GB memory on an ASUS ROG Maximus Apex motherboard. ![]() In addition to gaming, VR, and SPECworkstation3 GPU results, we have added creative results using Geekbench, the Blender 3.3.0 benchmark, and complete Sandra 2020 and AIDA64 GPGPU benchmark results plus some pro applications including Blender rendering and OTOY OctaneRender. We will also compare performance with the RX 6900 XT. We will focus on RTX 4090 raw performance as well as consider whether the new RTX 4090 Founders Edition at $1599 delivers a good value as a compelling upgrade from the RTX 3090 which launched at $1499 two years ago. Its 72 MB L2 cache offers a 12X improvement over the RTX 3090 Ti. It achieves over 1 TB/s memory bandwidth using 24 GB of GDDR6X memory. The RTX 4090 boasts 83 Shader-TFLOPS, 191 RT-TFLOPS, and 1.3 Tensor petaFLOPS. The RTX 4090 is touted as a beast in every way by Nvidia as the fastest video card for gaming with up to 4X the performance of the Ampere flagship or up to 2X the performance without using DLSS 3. Although this new flagship Ada Lovelace card arrives with multiple new features including DLSS 3, this review will focus on testing raw performance, not upscaling. In addition, although the RTX 4090 is not a workstation card, we have added workstation SPEC benches and selected popular creative and synthetic apps. The $15 Performance of 45 Games, VR, SPEC, Pro Apps, Workstation & GPGPUīTR recently received a RTX 4090 Founders Edition (FE) from Nvidia and we have been testing it for the past ten days by using 45 pancake and VR games plus GPGPU benchmarks. ![]()
