Nvidia's $1600 RTX 4090 is here, but how fast is it in games?
Firstly, a word about power supplies. Despite early rumors, most power supplies will be able to handle the RTX 4090, with Nvidia saying you'll need a minimum of 850W. The second requirement is a minimum of four 8-pin power connectors, since the RTX 4090 comes with a 4-way splitter cable and ideally you'll want to feed separate cables into these rather than daisy chaining.You do not need to connect 8-pin cables to all four connectors, though.
Forza Horizon 5 was quite as easy to run or as competitive for the RTX 4090, but it was still a long way ahead of the RX 6960 XT and even further than the two other Nvidia cards. DLSS makes a sizeable difference here and the RTX 4090 offered nearly identical frame rates at 4K to it's 1440p results, dominating the field and staying above 50fps on both results.
Far Cry 6 is a relatively easy game to play at high frame rates which can see it lean more on the CPU than some other titles, but the RTX 4090 still edged out a decent lead over the other cards, albeit not by a significant amount. At 4K, things lean more towards being CPU-bound, but we're still not seeing the kind of benefits you'd expect given the performance on offer. Clear other bottlenecks are at work, although the RTX 4090 does at least now have a lead.
