NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition Graphics Card

Product Information

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Here, a different benchmark to the one above due to the limited nature of the Nvidia beta that enables DLSS 3.

Currently a Hardware Editor at GamesRadar+ and in charge of all things PC after graduating from University with a degree in Politics and International Relations in 2022. Availability gets more complicated: The GeForce RTX 4090 has been steadily sold out since its October 12 launch, making acquiring one a game of “catch me if you can.Incredible Nvidia card, no competition at all for gaming with lower GPU models, very quiet, but also pretty big due to huge fans you need a big box as the hot air is not only going to the back of the card, also spreads inside the box as well similar to other cards. I started testing at 2,560 x 1,440 as the RTX 4080 makes no sense for 1080p gaming, and used a mixture of ray tracing/DXR tests, enabling DLSS mostly at the top of the resolution scale to show fps scaling. Whether you're rendering complex 3D scenes, editing 8K video, or seamlessly connecting and collaborating with NVIDIA Omniverse ™, GeForce RTX GPUs give you the performance to create your best.

The specifications are interesting because in a lot of ways the RTX 4080 is a lesser card than the likes of the RT 3090 Ti - a narrower memory bus, less memory, fewer Cuda cores - but trounces it with a massive 2.However, the RTX 4080 was also quicker than anticipated, sticking close to the flagship in a lot of benchmarks and often enjoying huge leads over the RTX 3090 Ti, leaving a huge gulf between it and the RTX 3080. And, unfortunately, all the power has made this card as elusive as the rest in Nvidia’s current lineup. Plugged it into PC switched on smelled a slight burning smell, noticed the RGB lighting wasn't working and a red led light on the far right of the card. I have another 3090 that i bought new (that actually had manufacturer tape on it when i bought it) and it runs smoothly with pushed overclock settings at 125mh and doesn't even hit above 90C.
