Nvidia RTX 4090 reviews are piling in ahead of the graphics card’s release date, with less than 24 hours to go until you can grab an RTX 4000 GPU for your gaming PC. While team green has already shared internal benchmarks for its new pixel pushers, we can now see how well its performance claims hold up under critics’ scrutiny.
The Nvidia RTX 4090 could be the best graphics card to launch this generation, but we won’t know for sure until AMD RDNA 3 GPUs arrive later this year.
That said, there’s still plenty to love about team green’s new pixel pushers, including support for Nvidia DLSS 3.0, which promises to boost fps higher than ever before thanks to its new ‘Frame Generation’ tech.
If you’ve already read our Nvidia RTX 4090 review, check out what everyone else is saying:
| Critic | Verdict |
| PCGamesN | More than a gaming GPU with absurd frame rates |
| Ars Technica | Nvidia’s biggest bargain in years |
| Digital Foundry | A new level in graphics performance |
| Gamers Nexus | It’s time for early RTX 3090 Ti buyers to feel really bad |
| Guru3D | The GeForce RTX 4090 is a bit of a masterpiece and an enigma |
| Linus Tech Tips | An upgrade that can’t be recommended in good conscience |
| PCWorld | Fantastically, futuristically fast |
| TechPowerUp | Impressive Performance |
| The Verge | A 4K beast |
It seems that the RTX 4090 handily beats its predecessors, the RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti by a significant margin. However, the lack of DisplayPort 2.0 inputs remains a strange omission considering the capabilities of this card.
