Asus GeForce RTX 4090 TUF OG OC 24GB

The most productive gaming video card of 2022 from the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace series (5 nm) with 24 GB of memory is capable of providing computing power of around 100 TFLOPS when overclocked. For comparison, the power of the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, which was the most powerful video card of the previous generation, was about 40 TFLOPS. This model is marked by the manufacturer as a premium product intended for elite gaming systems equipped with flagship processors from Intel and AMD, as well as powerful power supplies with a capacity of at least 850 W.

The main characteristics of this video card are 24 GB of GDDR6X video memory, the presence of a separate block with Tensor Cores and full compatibility with proprietary NVIDIA technologies, including DLSS, Broadcast and the Studio software package, which makes it an ideal solution for professionals involved in 3D rendering, creating 3D graphics, working with artificial intelligence and processing multimedia content.

It is also the best option for demanding gamers who plan to play in 4K resolution without sacrificing graphics settings. In fact, this is the only GPU today (note: September 2023) that is capable of this. Despite its impressive specs, Asus' RTX 4090 is part of The Ultimate Force mid-format series, providing the optimal combination of performance and affordability. It's important to note that it doesn't include the complex addressable lighting found on flagship ROG Strix graphics cards.

However, the manufacturer pays special attention to quality using long-lasting thermal capacitors and a metal frame, which gives this video card additional reliability and stability. It is worth noting that the Asus GeForce RTX 4090 TUF 24GB is an extremely large video card, weighing more than two kilograms, it occupies almost 4 slots on the motherboard, and its length is close to 35 cm.

To effectively cool such a monster, a hybrid cooling system with evaporative cooling is used camera, aluminum heatsink and triple Axial-tech fans equipped with ball bearings. And for efficient power supply it requires a power supply with a power of at least 850 W. Like all other modifications of the RTX 4090, this model is based on the progressive AD102 video chip (16,384 CUDA cores, clock frequency 2595 MHz) and is equipped with an unprecedented 24 GB of GDDR6X class video memory with a 384-bit data exchange bus.

You also cannot ignore one of the key innovations of the GeForce RTX 4000 series video cards - namely the updated next-generation tensor and RT cores, which significantly improve the efficiency of ray tracing and artificial image scaling. A particularly important role is played by the third version of the DLSS 3.0 upscaler, which now not only dynamically changes the final resolution in the game, but also can fill in missing frames, significantly increasing the smoothness of the gameplay and the overall FPS level.
