The RTX 4090 is based on Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace architecture. It features 16,384 cores with base / boost clocks of 2.2 / 2.5 GHz, 24 GB of memory, a 384-bit memory bus, 128 3rd gen RT cores, 512 4th gen Tensor cores, DLSS 3 and a TDP of 450W. Performance gains will vary depending on the specific game and resolution. With a 4090 tier card 1080p in-game fps will often get CPU bottlenecked which prevents the GPU from delivering higher fps. At higher (often sub-optimal) resolutions (1440p, 4K etc) the 4090 will show increasing improvements compared to lesser cards. When fps are not CPU bottlenecked at all, such as during GPU benchmarks, the 4090 is around 75% faster than the 3090 and 60% faster than the 3090-Ti, these figures are approximate upper bounds for in-game fps improvements. The fact that the 4090 is currently the fastest performing graphics card available is reflected in its jaw-dropping MSRP of $1,600. Since PC gamers rarely buy AMD GPUs, Nvidia only have themselves to compete with. Surprisingly, $1,600 is actually reasonable value for money, when compared to previous gen. flagship cards. Prospective buyers will need a top of the line system to extract maximum performance from the 4090 and because of its monstrous dimensions, many will also need a new PC case. Consumers that demand value for money, should wait a few more months for the 4060 / 4070 models by which time AMD's 7900 series will also probably be heavily discounted. Alternatively, shoppers looking to buy in the near term should consider the last gen. 3060-Ti, which offers excellent real-world (1080p) performance at a fraction of the price ($400 USD). [Oct '22 GPUPro]

The RTX 4060-Ti is based on Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace architecture. It features 4,352 cores with base / boost clocks of 2.3 / 2.5 GHz, 8 GB or 16 GB of memory, a 128-bit memory bus, 34 3rd gen RT cores, 136 4th gen Tensor cores, DLSS 3 (with frame generation), a TDP of 160W and launch prices of $400 USD (8 GB) and $500 USD (16 GB). The 4060-Ti is around 12% faster than the 3060-Ti at the same MSRP and offers similar performance to the 3070 at a 20% lower MSRP. Since the 4060-Ti only has 128-bit memory (vs 256-bit in the 3060-Ti) it is only around (6%) faster than the 3060-Ti at 4K. This will not concern most gamers, who are best off playing at 1080p. The 8 GB variant is easily the better option as games rarely use more than 8 GB. First time buyers tempted to consider the RX 7600/6800 by AMD’s army of Advanced Marketing scammers (youtube, reddit, twitter, forums etc.) should be aware that AMD have a history of releasing benchmark busting, heavily marketed, sub standard products. The 4060-Ti is more power efficient (quieter), has a broader feature set (RT/DLSS 3.0) and offers far better game compatibility (drivers). PC gamers looking to join AMD’s “2%” GPU club (Steam stats: 5000/6000/7000 series combined mkt share) need to work on their critical thinking skills: Influencers are paid handsomely to scam users into buying inferior products. [May '23 GPUPro]
