Cough cough, you guessed right, the highly anticipated Nvidia
public version RTX 4090 was finally officially lifted today and the beast was out of the cage!
declared in advance, today is just a simple review, review, and review . does not draw, does not draw, does not draw, does not draw, does not draw, does not draw.
I haven’t even gotten familiar with this card myself. I still want it if you want it. . .
In fact, Tony actually got this big "giant brick" two weeks ago, and joked online that this thing looks like an air conditioner external unit, which is not exaggerated at all. What is the roughly concept of the size of the 4090 public version card?
Tony took a 3080Ti, which is also a public version, and put it on the side for a comparison. Not to mention the relationship between the two of you, it also feels like I am standing next to Yao Ming. . . The most abnormal thing about
is the thickness of this card. Tony curiously measured it with a ruler and found that 4090 is nearly twice as wide as 3080Ti.
If you want to stuff this behemoth into the chassis, at least you need to ensure that your motherboard needs to be empty for more than three graphics card slots.
is really thick. . . ▼
The extra thickness is to add all the materials to the heat sink to ensure heat dissipation and safe construction.
But what's interesting is that in the past two days, foreign media broke the news that this cooling solution was originally designed for Samsung's 8nm 600W power consumption.
But because Nvidia later arranged TSMC's 4nm production line, the current heat dissipation design was too severe. . .
Samsung , what are you good about? . .
Friends who have watched the press conference should already know that this year's Nvidia's 40 series can be said to be the full-scale Tata opening .
Compared with the 3090Ti, the upgrade range of 4090 is quite considerable.
After replacing the new architecture Ada Lovelace, not only did they upgraded the ray tracing technology to the third generation and added the exclusive DLSS 3 technology to further improve the game frame rate while ensuring the game picture quality. Let’s talk about the appearance and paper parameters first. What’s the performance of the graphics card? It’s still necessary to let the running score speak.
This time, the test environment Tony posted here first. If you need it, please refer to it in advance. The first thing to do is to say is the regular D Mark test, 4090 Time Spy 34066 's graph score, comparison and 3090Ti's 20743, it cannot be said that the gap is small, it can only be said to be in the tulle. . .

And PORT ROYAL's ray tracing test, 4090 mercilessly, crushed 3090Ti for a full 10 minutes and came to 4515, which was so scary. . .

This time, a new DLSS test was added to the 3D Mark test.
The same card, DLSS 2 won the frame rate of 132.97 , and switched to DLSS 3 The frame rate directly reached 192.41, which increased to almost 1.4 times!
DLSS 2 ▼
DLSS 3 ▼
As for the true strength of DLSS 3, it is obvious that nothing can be seen in 3D Mark. To see the real difference, it must be the game performance.
According to Nvidia's official statement, DLSS 3 is a new insertion technology based on DLSS 2.
Simply put, DLSS 2 uses to reduce the rendering resolution to improve the game frame count and ensure the picture quality.
DLSS 3 is a new Buff called "frame generation" . This function will use optical flow accelerator to generate continuous frames, and cooperate with motion data to output the high-quality frames required for the picture.
After starting DLSS 3, the picture of the first frame will be generated by the previous DLSS 2 supersampling resolution technology, and all subsequent interpolation frames will be responsible for DLSS 3's "frame generation" technology.
Although this optical flow accelerator, was previously installed on the 30-series graphics card of Ampere architecture, its computing power is still far inferior to Ada Lovelace with the new 40 architecture.
So if you want to enable the DLSS 3 function, you can only implement it on the card of the new architecture of the 40 Series, and it is not ruled out that Nvidia will delegate this technology to the 30 Series in the future.
The technology may be a bit boring, so let's look at the specific performance.
The first game tested by Tony is an old friend in the evaluation industry "2077".
I have to say that with 4K picture quality and ray tracing fullness, after DLSS 2 is turned on, Tony got the average frame of 71.25 .
You must know that this is the legendary optimization black hole "2077". In 4K picture quality, it can still be stable to 60 frames. I didn't dare to think about it before.
. After Tony opened the DLSS 3 test, the average frames directly soared to more than 100. I saw the demonstration at the press conference before, and it may have been exaggerated. It is true that it was a test and then tested.
The built-in frame count of the game is wrong, the average test frame count of FrameView is 107 ▼
Speaking of which, the recent hit of the trigger club animation "2077: The Edge Walker" has also aroused Tony's desire to torture Adam again.
with the blessing of 4090, it really hits the boss just like I installed a new prosthetic body, and it’s like I’m fucking.
Of course, this gun must be used for the last execution. . .
As for real-life racing games like "F1 2022", after turning on DLSS 3, the K image quality can reach an average frame rate of 177 , which is a great deal.
test data ▼
game support, in addition to "2077" and "F1 2022" tested by Tony, it currently includes more than 35 games and software , including "Black Myth: Wukong", "Plague Legend: Requiem", "Shadow Torch City", etc., and will gradually support the DLSS 3 technology.
In addition to the upgrade of DLSS, Nvidia also brought a ray tracing effect called path tracking in this generation of RTX.
This ray tracing effect uses further tracking in random directions and new algorithms to make the picture appear more layered and textured after turning on ray tracing.
in the test version of the domestic online game " Against the Water Cold ", it is equipped with the effect of path tracking and DLSS 3.
In 4K picture quality, in Hangzhou city with rainy scenes, ray tracing and DLSS 3 are turned on, and the average frame can reach 157.
Although there are not many games currently supported, Tony thinks that the effect of ray tracing is more refined, which will definitely be a major trend in the future.
The more detailed the picture is, the more valuable it can reflect the DLSS technology. A series of experiences and tests on the game
made Tony deeply feel the power of 4090, but Tony believes that the main battlefield of this graphics card will still be concentrated on productivity tools.
Of course, this field is also a leader.
In the 4K performance test of the cross-platform real-time 3D rendering engine Unigine, the 4090 easily broke the 3W mark, and the 3090Ti achieved a 1W7 result in the same test.
renderer plug-in Octane test, among the indoor test samples, 4090 obtained a rendering rate of 17 times that of GTX 980, and the maximum test sample can achieve 27 times the efficiency improvement. In the actual model rendering test of
C4D, it takes 3 minutes and 13 seconds to output a picture with a 4K image quality and sampling rate of 1000. After rendering, it takes 3 minutes and 13 seconds to compare the results of 3090Ti in the same test, which is 5 minutes and 17 seconds.
The sampling rate is adjusted to 5000 pictures, which takes 13 minutes and 50 seconds. ▼
video rendering output test, Tony tried to use da Vinci output 5 minutes of 8K video clips to test.
The same video 3090 took 8 minutes and 30 seconds to render, while 4090 took 6 minutes and 02 seconds to complete.
In general, the price of RTX 4090 is a real price, and it is a symbol of the absolute strength of graphics graphics card .
If you need a graphics card with extreme performance, then 4090 is the standard answer. With the demand for 1080P high-swipe and no-swipe per person, it has achieved 4K high-swipe and no-swipe. . .
And all the software Tony usually comes into contact with cannot reach its performance bottleneck. . .
But after all, not everyone has the financial resources to afford a 4K high-brush monitor, and ordinary players still need to consider the wallet factor.
If you only have one stinking needs to play games, then obviously 4090 is not a major consumer-level product at present. Although the 60 and 70 generations of the
0 series have experienced the baptism of mines, they are helpless. In the next one to two years, they will be the main card of players.
You see, the 3060Ti in the UK market has been replaced with new video memory and continues to be sold. Obviously, the life cycle of for the 30-series dessert cards has not officially ended yet.
However, after the mining tide ended, the recovery of players' demand for graphics cards is a foregone conclusion.
Tony thinks that after Factory N releases the 40-series ultimate move this time, if Factory A cannot create some new tricks on the 7900XT, then the next Yes object may change again. . .
