NVIDIA officially released the GeForce RTX 4090 GPU that gamers are looking forward to on September 20. As a core partner of NVIDIA, iGame also launched a flagship graphics card product based on RTX 4090 GPU at the first time. Among them, the iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC has already arrived in the evaluation room first. As one of the two "Game Gods" Vulcan, "Vulcan", one of the "God" two heroes of iGame, what is its performance?
NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture brings revolutionary evolution
NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPU architecture brings what kind of revolutionary upgrades does it bring?
As can be seen from the table below, the innovation of process and architecture has brought about a comprehensive improvement in the number, scale and frequency of rendering cores.
At the same time, the data throughput of Ada Lovelace GPU architecture can reach up to 90 TFLOPS, greatly exceeding the 40 TFLOPS level of the previous generation NVIDIA Ampere architecture.
plus support for Shader Executing Reordering (SER) shader performs reordering, which brings about 2 times the performance improvement of shader . In actual testing of ray tracing games like "Cyberpunk 2077", SER also brings about 44% of the frame rate improvement.
RT Cores evolved to the third generation, with a throughput of 191 TFLOPS, 2.8 times that of the previous generation, and also introduced the "Micro Map Transparency Engine" (OMM) and "Micro Mesh Permutation Engine" (DMM).
The fourth-generation Tensor Cores is equipped with a new FP8 engine, with tensor processing performance up to 1.32 PetaFlops (up to five times more than the previous generation). The newly added optical flow accelerator (Optical Flow Accelerator) has become the core of NVIDIA DLSS3 black technology.
and DLSS3 further introduces optical multi-frame generation technology based on the original super resolution function, which can bring up to 4 times the game performance improvement, making 8K and panoramic ray tracing games a reality.
In addition, the RTX 40 encoder provides support for AV1 hardware encoding, high-video memory models and even dual encoders. It also inherits the 5th generation hardware decoder on RTX 30. AI live broadcasts have also added new special effects. The introduction of dual encoder has reduced the video transcoding time of the RTX 4090 by more than half compared to the RTX 3090 Ti, greatly improving work efficiency - the era of 8K HDR agentless video editing has arrived.
Therefore, RTX 4090 not only brings players a ray-tracing game experience that is both speed and picture (even directly entered the era of 8K games), but also brings extremely efficient productivity tools to content creative designers. It can be called another milestone in the development history of GPU. The supreme geek armed forces in the post-season era! iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC Appreciation
The iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC we got is also the first batch of high-end non-public AIC cards to arrive in the evaluation room. iGame's Vulcan series has always been loved by hardware players with its extremely creative design language and full-fire performance. This time, the iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC obviously continues this tradition from the design art style and functional settings, and after unboxing, people are full of confidence in it.
appearance: The fierce "intelligent" style of the post-season blog era
As a flagship product under iGame, this iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC has a very sci-fi appearance and is clearly angular. The iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC graphics card is based on the latest "post-season style" design, with advanced future technology shapes and a tough appearance, which meets the needs of current enthusiastic users to pursue personalization and technology.
In terms of process, the ferro-colored metal exoskeleton adopts the anodized process, which is more wear-resistant and more fierce. The sharp/triangle/metal and other elements unique to the Vulcan family series have been newly built and deeply evolved in this iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC graphics card. The dark background reflects its low-key and calm personality. The sharp metal exoskeleton design highlights the "intelligent and mechanical" fusion between machinery and biology in the post-Science Bo era. The sharp triangle elements and the new iron-colored outer metal skeleton also show the fierceness of the "performance beast".
This iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC is decorated with silver in tiny areas, and is full of high-tech postsky intelligence style, while also revealing a sense of desolation in wasteland, making people feel as if they are in the underground Eden of the postsky era, and this graphics card is the only pass on to return to their spiritual home in the postsky era.
Attachment: can be divided and combined, and the intelligent driving force is fully integrated
In addition to having a new upgraded shape, it seems that the mecha in the post-season era has an unmanned intelligent flight companion, and its intelligent machinery partners are also very eye-catching: iGame Vulcan split smart screen. Compared with the previous generation of Vulcan's screen, its resolution is increased to 800*216px. With the latest iGame Center control software, it can realize the display of customized content: whether it is the graphics card status, personalized text or graphics, it can be displayed in real time with the user's configuration.
This split smart screen is equipped with a base, which can be placed on the desktop in the form of a USB external display screen. You can also remove the base and find a magnetic suction point on the graphics card for installation, realizing horizontal and vertical insertion, meeting the installation and personalized information display of LCD screens under different graphics card installation forms.
smart screen horizontal mode
Users who choose to connect to the smart screen base can also have a more personalized intelligent configuration: the packaging comes with a magnetic lighting component, which can be replaced with the smart screen, installed on the magnetic installation point of the graphics card , and cooperate with the iGame Center software to open an RGB visual feast full of personalized cyber style.
Power supply: iGame GeForce RTX 4090 VulcanOC adopts a 16pin (12+4) power supply interface, which is integrated with the lighting synchronization interface in the same area. For installation, wiring will be more convenient. At the same time, the materials used for the power supply module are also very solid, and it uses 24+4 phase power supply, which can support stable output TDP power consumption from 450W to up to 515W.
Power supply and heat dissipation: called "Vulcan", but iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC actually has the most powerful material in the details of power supply and heat dissipation. This also made this graphics card achieve excellent results in our tests.
The most intuitive fan aspect is that 3 104mm large-diameter fans use dual ball bearings , which is smooth and durable. The fan blade uses nine-leaf "wind gathering sickle ring" fan blades. The reinforced blades are connected ring-ringly, as sharp and thick as a sickle, and efficiently gather wind, making the air form a whirlpool and gather wind in to increase the air pressure and increase the intake. In terms of the heat dissipation module connected to it, the flow-conducting fins using "vacuum ice" technology are used. The flow-conducting fins have a larger gap, which is more conducive to the entry of wind flow, and the internal thermal circulation is faster. The first heat dissipation modules that adopted this design were mainly used for servers. This iGame GeForce RTX 4090 VulcanOC uses this design module, which greatly improves the heat dissipation effect.
Intelligent configuration: In addition to the smart screen, the smartest thing about iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC is probably its overclocking function setting. The classic iGame one-click overclocking button is continued in the card interface part, and the iGame Center control software is also configured for further fine-tuning, and other mainstream NVIDIA GPU overclocking software is also supported. Due to the solid materials for power supply and heat dissipation and the carefully selected video memory particle , the default core frequency is 2235MHz-2520MHz, and one-click overclocking can reach 2235MHz-2625MHz!
Overall, the iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC has reached the level of super flagship in terms of power supply, cooling or personalized design, which is obviously very popular with the appetite of fever players.Next, let’s enter the practical test section that everyone is most concerned about!

Practical performance test
benchmark performance test part, iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC's improvement over RTX 3090 Ti is very exaggerated. In FireStike tests representing the performance of DX11, the leading amplitude was over 80%, and with the higher the resolution, the greater the leading amplitude. In the DX12 part, the RTX 4090's leading range is also close to 80%. In the DXR ray tracing sector, the RTX 4090 has more than doubled the RTX 3090 Ti. In Port Royal, the RTX 4090 also leads by more than 80%. For flagship graphics cards such as iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC, the pressure on the GPU using 1080P resolution will only highlight the bottleneck of subsystems such as processors, so we only test at 2K and 4K resolutions.
is the 2K test part first. Among the 13 games, 11 of them have obvious improvements, and the advantages of "Doom: Eternal" even reach more than 58%. Online games like "CS:GO" and "World of Warcraft: Shadowlands" do not have enough pressure on the GPU, and obviously cannot exert the power of RTX 4090, and the performance of the processor has also become a bottleneck here. Combined with
, the average advantage of iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC over the RTX 3090 Ti at 2K resolution is about 130%. It is obvious that the pressure of 2K resolution seems too weak in front of the RTX 4090, and the GPU cannot be fully exerted due to the limitations of subsystems such as processors. So let's take a look at the situation at 4K resolution.
As the resolution increases to 4K, the performance advantages of RTX 4090 are becoming more and more obvious. In "Killer 3", RTX 4090 is even more than 80% ahead of the RTX 3090 Ti. Even games like "World of Warcraft: Shadowlands" that are seriously restricted by the processor bottleneck have also achieved a frame rate increase of more than 28% with the support of RTX 4090's powerful performance.
combined, the average frame rate of RTX 4090's 4K gaming leads the RTX 3090 Ti about 154%.
Next, it’s time to go to the ray chasing game!
From the test situation, at 2K resolution, except for some games with smaller improvements, other games, iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC, basically increased by more than 50% compared to the RTX 3090 Ti, and up to 80% can be increased. Overall, the average increase is about 57%.
4K ray tracing game part, we have also added the DLSS test. The RTX 4090 has more fourth-generation Tensor Cores, which can just show its skills. Sure enough, under the super high load press of 4K+ extreme ray tracing, the advantages of iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC over the RTX 3090 Ti have been improved again. In "F1 2022" and "'s disappearing light 2", RTX 4090 really achieves twice the performance close to the RTX 3090 Ti! In many other games, RTX 4090 also maintains an advantage of 70% to 80%. In summary, whether DLSS is turned on or off, the average advantage of RTX 4090 remains at around 170%. At the same time, we can also see that after turning on DLSS, the RTX 4090 has achieved huge performance improvements in many games, allowing 4K ultimate ray tracing games to run at smooth frame rates of more than 100fps or even 200fps.
In short, judging from the current situation of popular games, only under the 4K ultimate ray tracing image quality settings can the powerful performance of RTX 4090 be tried! Hurry up and get an 4K/144Hz e-sports monitor for the iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC.
Currently, 35 games and applications have announced that they will support DLSS3 technology soon, and we selected several of them for this test. In games that support DLSS3, switch options are provided for DLSS super resolution, frame generation, and NVIDIA Reflex. These are actually the three components of DLSS3, and turning off frame generation is equivalent to using DLSS2.
We also briefly compared the game picture quality supported by DLSS 3.As can be seen from the figure, after AI machine learning, DLSS has been optimized for image quality. Even for performance-oriented DLSS performance mode, the sharpness and details of the picture are even better than turning off the native picture of DLSS (pay attention to the texture of the taillights). This is why NVIDIA also recommends that everyone choose the DLSS3 performance mode at 4K resolution.
From the comparison picture of the Fuyunting Light Trail display copy of " Against the Water Cold ", it can also be seen that the picture quality in DLSS 3 performance mode is also very excellent, with performance that is not inferior to native picture quality. In terms of appearance, it is even slightly better than the native picture. From this point of view, DLSS 3 has achieved both image quality and high frame rate of and .
From the test results, we can see that in "Cyberpunk 2077", with the frame generation support of DLSS3, the average frame rate of iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC is even 2.3 times that of RTX 3090 Ti! The DLSS3 beta version of "Against the Cold" is even more exaggerated. The ray tracing effect of the test copy specially designed for DLSS3 is close to the movie screen, and the pressure on the GPU is abnormal. Even the iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC is only 17fps in 4K without DLSS. After turning on the DLSS3 performance mode, the frame rate is directly increased by nearly 4 times to 84fps. The RTX 3090 Ti without an optical flow accelerator is only 25fps in 4K+DLSS performance mode, and the RTX 4090 leads by 236%!
It can be seen that the more ray tracing special effects in the game, the more complex it is, and the greater the performance improvement brought by DLSS3. Therefore, facing the future panoramic ray tracing masterpieces, the RTX 40 series with optical flow accelerator supports DLSS3 is obviously a must-have.
"Lyra" has relatively little pressure on graphics cards, and after turning on DLSS3 and frame generation, the iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC also has a frame rate advantage of up to about 65% compared to the RTX 3090 Ti.
For designer users, NVIDIA Studio is too familiar. So how powerful is the iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC with 24GB of ultra-large video memory and one-click overclocking capabilities as a productivity tool? We chose mainstream 3D rendering tools and video editing software to conduct actual testing.
From the test results, we can see that the rendering performance of iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC has almost doubled compared to the RTX 3090 Ti, and most projects have 80% to 100% performance improvement. As for the video transcoding part, since the RTX 4090 is supported by dual encoder, the transcoding speed in the clipping is almost twice that of the RTX 3090 Ti, and the speed advantage in Da Vinci is also maintained at nearly 65%. In addition, iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC also provides AV1 encoding support, while the RTX 3090 Ti does not have a corresponding hardware encoder, so of course it cannot be supported.
In short, it is twice as efficient as the previous flagship. It is worth it for the designer to choose iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC.
power consumption temperature and overclocking test: Furious Vulcan, performance roaring
RTX 40 series adopts TSMC 4N manufacturing process, and the frequency and energy efficiency are greatly improved compared to the previous generation, which also makes its GPU frequency very expected to be increased to above 3 GHz. Of course, the iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC is also equipped with a powerful three-fan radiator and a brand new cooling module, which can ensure the stable release performance of the RTX 4090. Judging from the adjustment menu of iGame Center, the GPU default frequency is 2625 MHz, while the highest frequency in the game can be measured to reach 2760 MHz. At the same time, it can be seen that the power wall can also be adjusted up by 6% in the iGame Center.
FurMark The actual test machine frequency is 2730 MHz, the default test machine power is up to 486.6 W, the GPU temperature is up to 63.1℃, and the junction temperature is 73.2℃. The heat dissipation performance is indeed good.
In addition, through repeated attempts, the GPU frequency successfully broke through the 3 GHz mark without adjusting the voltage, the measured frequency in 3DMark can reach 3015 MHz, and the FireStrike Ultra score has also been increased to more than 26000, while the working temperature has only increased slightly, which shows that its luxurious power supply and heat dissipation design can fully accommodate the flagship GPU of RTX 4090.
In addition, there are two ways to switch between iGame one-click overclocking:
1. In the shutdown state, switch, and then turn on the computer (this does not require restart)
2. To switch in the boot state, you need to restart before you can switch to another BIOS
If it is not easy to identify whether it is already overclocking state, you can use the second method to switch to one-click overclocking in the boot state (the overclocking button will light up the blue light effect prompt), and then restart the computer.
In addition, we introduced that the iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC has a detachable "iGame Vulcan" magnetically absorbed smart screen. It has two magnetically absorbed modes: horizontal and vertical insertion, which corresponds to different graphics card installation methods. It can also be removed and combined with the included dock as an independent monitoring screen. It can be freely selected for display templates or custom content in the iGame Center control software. The display effect of this screen in actual testing is good. After all, the resolution has been increased from the previous generation of 480×128 to 800×216, and the display clarity has been greatly improved.
summary: Vulcan Roar, the flagship choice for performance explosion!
For enthusiastic players who pursue the ultimate gaming experience and designer users who pursue top efficiency, iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC is currently the best choice, and it is necessary to start with one step. Of course, in the super public version of RTX 4090, the iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC not only has luxurious materials and excellent heat dissipation design, but also has a good overclocking space and a personalized detachable magnetic-absorbing smart screen and lighting components. It can be regarded as the ultimate flagship tailored for game enthusiasts and high-performance users, and is very worthy of priority.
In addition, this time we also received a set of iGame-Qiqu host building blocks for Colorful .
