Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 Amp Extreme Airo, which retails for £1960/$1700, a significant premium, particularly in the UK, above the RTX 4090’s standard RRP/MSRP of £1679/$1599. If you are like many or perhaps most computer users, all of that probably seems like an unimaginably large sum of money. More so now that the RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti, the fastest Nvidia GPUs of the previous generation, can be had for less than £1100 and £1200, respectively.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Is Wildly Expensive
The Nvidia RTX 4090, according to reviews from across the globe, is too powerful for modern games, both in 4K and in 8K for certain competitive games like Overwatch 2, particularly with DLSS 3 enabled. Without frame generation, the frame rates are already impressive. The RTX 4090 has been shown to have a strong overclocking capability, with tests indicating that it can be pushed to over 3 GHz core with just 20 W extra TDP (470 W). Although it is very doubtful that AMD’s RX 7900 XT cards would be able to match or exceed this performance, Nvidia is reported to be holding back their finest binned dies for some insane RTX 4090 Ti variants.
A Twitter user named @XpeaGPU claims that the RTX 4090 Ti’s finest AD102 dies are factory overclocked to 2.75 GHz and in some instances 2.95 GHz. This means that the card is capable of running at over 3 GHz with minor overclocking. Nvidia is working on GDDR6X 24 Gbps VRAM to replace the current 21 Gbps chips, and these dies will have 18176 CUDA cores instead of 16384. Cards with higher clock speeds may only need 25W more than 450 W TGP, but they may provide a noticeable performance increase of 10–20%.
Nvidia may hasten the release of the Ti cards in early 2023 at absurd costs if AMD manages to amaze with the RX 7900 XT. Otherwise, we should not expect to hear these beats drop till the fourth quarter of 2023 at the earliest.
