Nvidia RTX 4090 Graphics Cards: [Release date, Price, Specs, and News]
What are Nvidia RTX 4090 Graphics Cards?
Nvidia’s new RTX 4000 series graphics cards are finally here!
Instead of the traditional specifications, Nvidia is redefining what a graphics card should be with real-time ray tracing. The company announced this in their official blog.
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX® 4090 GPUs are beyond fast for gamers and creators. They're powered by the ultra-efficient NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture which delivers a quantum leap in both performance and AI-powered graphics. Experience lifelike virtual worlds with ray tracing and ultra-high FPS gaming with the lowest latency. Discover revolutionary new ways to create, unprecedented workflow acceleration.
What is New and Improved on the RTX 4090 Graphics Cards?
Ray Tracing
The Ada architecture unleashes the full glory of Ray Tracing, which simulates how light behaves in the real world. With supercomputing power and a third-gen RT Core, you can experience incredibly detailed virtual worlds like never before."
NVIDIA DLSS 3
The performance multiplier, powered by AI.
DLSS is a revolutionary breakthrough in AI-powered graphics that massively boosts performance. Powered by the new fourth-gen Tensor Cores and Optical Flow Accelerator on GeForce RTX 4090 GPUs, DLSS 3 uses AI to create additional high-quality frames.
NVIDIA Reflex
Victory measured in milliseconds.
NVIDIA Reflex and GeForce RTX 4090 GPUs deliver the lowest latency and best responsiveness for the ultimate competitive advantage. Built to optimize and measure system latency, Reflex provides faster target acquisition, quicker reaction times, and the best aim precision for competitive games.
The benefits of the RTX 4090
Benefits:
The main benefit of the RTX 4090 is its increased performance over previous generation graphics cards. It is also more power efficient than older cards, meaning it generates more performance from the same resources as previous cards. The card's additional features make it an attractive option for gamers and professionals who require the best possible performance from their graphics card.
