NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090

Description

Outstanding equipment

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 was released on 03.01.2023 and is the fastest mobile GPU on the market at this time. With 16 GB GDDR6 and a 256-bit graphics bus operating at 20 GB/s, the RTX 4090 offers performance of the highest standard. With the new 4 nm manufacturing process, the computing core density is higher than ever before. Like all GPUs in the RTX series, it offers support for ray tracing and G-Sync.

According to NVIDIA, there are different variants of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090, which are scaled between 80 - 150 watts of power consumption. The performance that can be achieved depends on this TGP and the cooling system used. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 also supports the new version of the DirectX API: DirectX Ultimate, which makes ray tracing possible.

New architecture

The GPU uses an AD103 Ada-Lovelace chip, which, according to NVIDIA, enables improved performance in ray tracing and should also offer an additional performance boost in shader calculations. NVIDIA promises a doubling of the bandwidth, the ray tracing cores and the tensor cores. Compared to the desktop version of the RTX 4090, the mobile version is logically much slower. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 should be comparable to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 desktop version, but benchmarks to verify this do not yet exist.

Too new for benchmarks

Due to the newness of the graphics card, only a few statements can be made about its performance. However, it is certainly the most powerful graphics card currently available from NVIDIA. However, it is still too early to determine its exact performance. Nevertheless, the graphics card is already being installed in gaming laptops. It is combined with the best CPUs of the new generation from Intel, such as the Intel Core i9-13950HX, which is also new on the market. Razer in particular is already installing the new graphics card.
