Compared to the RTX 3090 - its direct predecessor - performance is at the very least doubled. Whatever 3DMark tool you throw at it - Time Spy Extreme, Port Royal, etcetera - the story is largely the same. At this level of power, the subtlety level it’s most suited to is that of a brick through your window, though - and that’s no bad thing. The result is a graphics card that functions both ways: as a glorious ‘fire and forget’ max-power gaming card, and also as a powerful tool for those who want to wield it more like a rendering scalpel. But Nvidia has shifted the way it’s marketing these releases, putting this one more squarely in the sights of gamers. It’s an interesting position for this card to be in, as these cards - the ones that end in ‘90’ - tend to be for the real hardcore tweakers, people involved in rendering or creative apps, not just gaming. Even without DLSS, the performance is a ludicrous leap on the previous generation that makes things much more playable. Cyberpunk, in 4K, with maxed-out ray tracing? With DLSS3, the 4090 crushes it.

The RTX 4090 is the first card you can throw into your PC and just… forget about it. I love to play in 4K, and I love to crank up ray tracing - though on both past RTX generations even with the frame-boosting DLSS enabled doing so has felt like a give-and-take trade-off, depending on the game. If you’re a 4K goblin, though, or playing in some sort of ultra-ultra wide setup and also want ray tracing, this is the card that dreams are made of. The 40-series of Nvidia GPUs has a couple of weaker-spec siblings on the way soon, however - and those will likely be more suitable for that sort of play. At these resolutions, this is where you’ll hit a CPU bottleneck, therefore wasting money.

It’s also not really a card that’s necessary for 1080p or 1440p gaming.

This is, in a sense, a card for the future - even though the breakneck pace of GPU releases of late suggests that Nvidia will likely replace or upgrade it within 18 months anyway.

So, let’s be clear: even with a top-range PC that cost many thousands to build, it’s not likely you’ll be able to unlock the full potential of this card from day one. This card is the new benchmark, the new high watermark - though it’s really only going to be completely worth it for those who have an entire setup that can support it - which means at the very least a top-range monitor and CPU, plus an overly-healthy amount of RAM.

At £1650/$1600, it carries an overwhelming price, but what you get for that is also overwhelming performance. Regardless of what happens there, I feel like this is a pretty potent place to start a discussion about the 4090. Maybe this’ll change with the imminent release of Intel’s 13th generation ‘Raptor Lake’ CPUs will help that element of the PC to catch up. This was primarily happening at lower resolutions like 1080p and 1440p but even occurred occasionally at 4K - and it was occurring with relatively recent games like Marvel’s Spider-Man. What I mean by this is that the 4090 routinely and quite effortlessly does what I’ve only seen other cards do in very specific circumstances: it hits the point at which games can’t perform any better - not because of the card, but because the CPU can’t keep picking up what this beastly GPU is throwing down. The trend continues with Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 4090 - a jaw-droppingly powerful new flagship card with a neat party trick: it breaks performance measurement.

Every recent new generation features leaps that are an order of magnitude larger than the last - though keeping up has also involved breaking the bank, either due to initially high vendor pricing or ridiculous gouging driven by crypto nonsense. Advancements in PC graphics always move at a breakneck speed, but it does feel like things have been moving particularly quickly of late.
