Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Reviews

[DavidGraham]

According to TechPowerUp review, it's 45% faster in non RT workloads (not that it matters much as 3090 was already a beast at it)

By the way, we should throw this whole TPU review in the garbage bin, it's done on a regular Ryzen 5800X, too weak for the 4090.

Why? Quite hyperbolic here... Not everyone has 5800X3D, plus the results are not night and day different, only 15% more, which on this tier is hardly gameplay changing in 99% of the titles. A review is not just to see how ultimately good a piece of hardware is, it's also to inform readers about how much of an upgrade they can expect with median hardware. This is also very disrespectful to whoever wrote the review and all the work that went into it...

Congrats. In my region the Asus Tuf model went online for 2450 euros

Ouch! That's just insane..

As usual were getting ripped off in Europe, looking at the same prices here for AIB models. Meanwhile vanilla 3090 OC can be found for three times less.

Zotac AMP AIRO - Good availability (100 units)


I would steer clear of cards below 20 units, were expecting hardly any additional stock this month, what you see above is all we have potentially for October, were more deliveries due November.
We will do our best but with so few units on certain cards like Strix and Aorus they will sell out within seconds, potentially minutes, in short only order if your happy to wait 4-12 weeks.

Zotac all cards, Gigabyte WindForce & Gaming, MSI Suprim X are the best bets stock wise!

I'm copy-pasting text just as a precaution against it being taken down. When Ampere launched, NVidia forbade him from posting this kind of information.

Overall it looks like about 1000 cards in stock at the 2pm UK go-live.

nVidia released a new driver with more DX12 improvements und new Rebar profiles (over a year since the last one):

did the driver the reviewers used include these improvements?

 

[Subtlesnake]

Then there is the currently available CPUs which honestly have abysmal single threaded improvements each gen. They are simply not adequate enough.

Computerbase found a 22% improvement at 720p moving from the 5800X to 7700X

And a 31% improvement moving from a 3700X to a 5800X

Zen 5 will probably see a similar size jump as it is a new architecture.

 

[Remij]

I am a bit concerned though that the GPU I went with apparently comes with just a triple 8 pin to 12pin adapter instead of the 4 which all the other cards seem to come with....

 

[DegustatoR]

did the driver the reviewers used include these improvements?

Probably not on anything but 4090. But we'll see.

Interesting.. Nvidia's new drivers speak about DirectX12 performance improvements in many games... but it also includes this:\

Substantial DirectX 12 Performance Improvements For GeForce RTX GPUs​

In the last year, Game Ready Drivers have given GeForce gamers optimum performance in over 80 new releases, and have continued to optimize and improve the games you’re still playing. Most recently, our engineering team has designed new DirectX 12 enhancements that accelerate performance by double digits in a wide array of games.
These improvements include shader compilation optimization, reduced CPU overhead, and Resizable BAR profiles for Forza Horizon 5 and F1Ⓡ 22. Many of these optimizations are most beneficial in CPU-bound scenarios, enabling your graphics card to be utilized to a greater degree. In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, and Forza Horizon 5, performance improved by up to 24%:

NVIDIA shares more gaming benchmarks for the RTX 4080 GPUs

NVIDIA has shared three new gaming benchmarks for its upcoming RTX 4080 12GB and RTX 4080 16GB graphics cards.

www.dsogaming.com

That' pretty horrible 4080 performance for the price. The 12GB looks to be around the same speed or slower than the (much cheaper in the UK) 3080Ti. And the 16GB less than 10% faster than a 3090Ti...

And quite honestly i think its the IHV's job to help out with that issue.

Dared to ask. They where.

Old cards (30 series) were tested on 517.48 driver though which did not have these improvements.

regarding the PT/RT/Hybrid scaling discussion happening on the past few pages:

To the best of my understand most (every?) real time implementation of PT and hybrid RT has a denoising step added to each frame, whereas the offline synthetics do not. A 4A presentation of the first ME release quoted denoising as taking equal time to ray traversal in their implementation on a 2080Ti (if I recall correctly). Quake 2 RTX allows for denoising to be turned off which could provide illuminating results (sorry).

3Dmark PT test has denoising AFAIR.
