Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090: Fantastically, futuristically fast.

Nvidia's 40-series flagship chews through futuristic ray-traced games too, propelled by more-advanced 3rd-gen RT cores and a radical new Frame Generation DLSS 3 feature that doubles (or more) frame rates yet again with a heaping helping of AI. DEPARTMENTS Nvidia's $1,599 GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card (fave. co/3DOEuWk) sports a luxury price tag, but you get a truly luxurious gaming experience in return. Nvidia claims the RTX 4090 FE "delivers the highest airflow ever measured in a discrete Nvidia GPU, achieving 15 percent more airflow than an RTX 3090 at the same acoustic level." Each game is tested using its in-game benchmark, sanity checked by Nvidia's FrameView tool (fave. co/3T8Cbpa), at the highest possible graphics presets unless otherwise noted, with VSync, frame rate caps, real-time ray-tracing or DLSS effects, and FreeSync/G-Sync disabled, along with any other vendor-specific technologies like FidelityFX tools or Nvidia Reflex.
