Nuts. Also test bench for those asking: - Ryzen 5800X3D - G-Skill 32GB 3600 C16 - MSI X570S Carbon - BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 12 1000W

Crazy, didn’t expect this rasterization performance

You covered everything within 14min, with clear and precise graphs. other reviewers would drag this into an hour. I rarely comment and hit the like button, but you deserved them. Well done!

AV1 is a game-changer, a true technical miracle. I hope integrated GPUs will soon get encoder/decoder functionality, as only then AV1 will find widespread adoption.

Yours is the 3rd review of this card I watched (after Steve's and Jayz'). I think yours is the best. Your side-by-side comparisons and your charts are more informative than theirs. Good job!

Wow, haven’t seen leaps like this since the 900 to 1000 series. Not a fan of the physical space these cards are taking, but impressive to see 4k gaming get to an exciting frame rate finally.

EKWB needs to supply you with a water block so we can see this thing in action within an SFF case!

It's still insane how 5 years ago, the absolute unit of an 1080 Ti was 700$ at release. The price increase between the flagships in just these 5 little years is crazy.

Thanks for pausing the screen during the AV1 demo, so the YT compression didnt destroy it. That really helped emphasize just how much better it is. Im stoked to get my hands on a 40 series or ARC card to use for streaming!

Thank you for discussing frame generation without dlss upscaling, this is something other reviews have neglected to mention

That summary chart at 2:22 is awesome, I'd love to see that become a regular thing for comparing performance increases for new generations. Great video as always Ali!

love your clean and clear visual presentation on this video. kudos!

Would love to see a round up of all sff cases( NR200 and Dan A4 H20 - that power adapter bend needs to be checked)that support the 4090 fe, as seen in derbaur's video we get 95% performance at 60 to 70% power target. So cooling doesn't seem like will be an issue.

I only rely on your reviews and GN for objectivity. Keep it up

just binged most of your videos, great content!

Nice video man, love the straight to the point style! Also what are the specs of the rest of the system you tested this on?

You always have the best and most informative videos!! I love this channel

will you do a undervolting on it? The power efficiency seems insane compared to prior gen.

Those AV1/H.264 comparison screenshots are greatly appreciated, thank you.

Looking forward to your ITX build with this card!

hands down the best review of this cycle. Great work Ali

Amazing review, you're at the top of your game. The level of detail and presentation is remarkable. Presenting Frame Generation and still think of the expected cons, like input lag and present it, was very good. Keep it up!

Nice review as usual. Wish you had included couple of undervolt power/performance charts to see how it would fit in ITX cases. You are the only person I would rely on to see such benchies :)

Amazing Review, thanks for including side by side comparison of AV1 and H.264 aswell as 3D-rendering performance

Super impressive thermals and noise out of the FE card. Can't wait to see undervolt results on these!

Thank you so much, The only Reviewer who puts Blender/Vray benchmark!!!

Will you be testing out undervolting? I wouldn't be surprised if you could undervolt it massively like the 3080 and get a very minor different performance

Hi Optimum Tech, would it be possible to do a video on this card being undervolted? I love this card but I'd be curious to see how low I can get the wattage while still having good performance. Thanks!!

I really appreciate you actually taking the time to sit down and play a game for a while with DLSS3. Most other reviewers are just showing performance numbers.

What would you reccomend for power supplies with the FormD T1 and the 4090? There are not a whole lot of options for SFX, until Q4 2022 (FSP Dagger) with the Gen5 PCiE being added along with some other SFX PSU.

Thanks for the review! Now I need to know what it’s case will fit this in without water cooling (not the founder edition though as that’s not really available in Australia)

dlss 3 +frame generation on 4060 will really be something useful. GG nvidia for the tech. Too bad for the overprice of the 4080

now fitting THAT in an itx case... good luck

Thanks for the video. You explain things the sensible and sensitive way. This I appreciate and can compare to your feeling on the product !

INSANE performance, awesome review as always

Alternate Title: Nvidia RTX Big Brick Edition Review

Thank you for adding V-Ray benchmarks

Great review man, thanks for putting positive energy out there

You're always my go-to reviewer after LTT now. Love your videography, story telling and perspective. Brave of you to say its not over-priced but that's exactly what I think too. People will just be mad because they can't afford it but as the benchmarks show, you really don't need to have it unless you're spending big money on the rest of the PC and monitor anyway. If you can't afford it, it's not for you.

Insane performance obviously. However; for me personally; I'm only interested in what a potential $600-$700 4070 would offer this generation. If the 4070 can matches the performance of an 3090 let's say, then that's an instant buy for me. It is all I need at 144hz 1440p gaming honestly.

Awesome performance, awesome content. My favourite RTX 4090 review so far! 👍🏼

Did you happen to try any undervolting? Did power/tdp savings compare to the 3000 series?

Given its beefy size I reckon you'll need a spacious case for it.

Excited to see what can be done to make this power draw more manageable with undervolting

Was waiting for your review

Those shoulder workouts paying off

The 4090 is almost as big as his Arms damn

This has me really excited for the 5070 and the 5080.

I'd be really interested in seeing a video comparing Nvidia, Intel and AMD AV1 encoders compared to very slow CPU software encoding. Whenever AMD's GPUs come out

would be nice to see the rtx3080 in these benchmarks as well, but very informative video as always!

i agree on that thought about the price, most other reviewer will tell you otherwise. looking forward to your best itx build with this card

But.. can it run crysis?

I hope you do another video about undervolting, the one with the 3090 was really interesting

Always the best gpu reviews in terms of quick and informative performance numbers and most importantly, features like hardware encoding that so many others don't even bother to mention.

You need to settle down... as someone who only loosely pays attention to the PC hardware scene these days, I really have no need for any other channel anymore since finding yours. Clear, concise, and always good takes all around. A+

Best review so far well detailed

when something launches I think about how it will perform and suddenly you drop a video then It clarifies all questions I have in my mind. So, thank you Optimum

That card is so quiet wow!! Awesome video as always 💪

Thanx for the video. Which monitor do you recommend sticking with: still 2k or 4k is a new solid choice with these cards?

Now we just need your undervolt guide for the 4090 like you did for the 3080 before haha.

This is the performance gains that we expected to see from 2080 Ti to 3080 Ti/3090. But it took them this long to reach that matrics. Glad the 4000 isn't just overhyped their performance. They actually exceed expectations.

5:05 Will wait for more detailed analyses on DLSS 3 and frame generation especially because of the potential latency penalty is larger on lower end cards with fewer tensor cores. Just as older RTX cards benefit less from DLSS 2 the further you go down.

Great balanced review of the 4090. Can't wait until you try to stuff in an SFF build!

just bought myself a 3080 for 700 bucks. im definitely happy with my 3080 but i cant lie that 4090 performance is absolutely insane. i cant believe im saying this but i have to agree i think the 4090 is correctly priced.

Na come one dude don't fall for it and say the 4090 isn't overpriced at 1600 bucks because you're comparing it to the 3090 at 1500 bucks. That's the exact trap Nvidia set up because the 3090 was always ridiculous and over priced at 1500 dollars. So the fact the 4090 is only 100 more doesn't change the fact it's 100 more than a previously overpriced card. That's not really a fair comparison that's just a marketing trap. "Look it's only $100 more than our previous 3090 even though our 3090 was ridiculously overpriced" Not to mention the 3090ti at 2000. They made the prices on those cards ridiculous to normalize it and convince you that type of pricing is worth it.

Could you please make a video on how suitable is 4090 in a itx case

So is the stream output quality boost in performance primarily from the dual encoders on the 4090 or from AV1??? Would love to know more about that.

First

Considering Nvidia and Intel have been known to buy good reviews, this was absolutely bought. 1. Gamers Nexus showed it hitting almost 500 watts on more than one occasion 2. You exclusively chose benchmarks that were in the 2x range while almost all reviewers agree in will get a 50-80% rastur buff at 4k max settings 3. There is no world where $1,600 is okay and all other reviewers agree with that. We used to be able to get top tier consumer performance for $700 and titan class performance for $1,000. Prices like the lock out a vast majority of gamers who crave the latest and greatest. By pricing this out of reach for most they cator exclusively to their customers with deep pockets while ignoring their primary audience. 4. You just sound like you don't believe what you're saying, almost like there's a nvidia representative holding you hostage. 5. Other reviewers made it very clear that DLSS 3.0 is very similar in its issues to DLSS 1.0 and is definitely better suited as an early stage DLSS replacement instead of a flushed out upgrade

For anybody who has a 30 series card, av1 is on ALL intel Grus, so you can use an arc gpu’s to stream

Wow, the performance jump is insane!

Do you recommend where to get the founders edition in Australia? Is that available here?

Thanks for talking about latency, it's the first thing I thought of as soon as I realized that "DLSS 3" mainly meant "interpolation." ;)

great review, its beast mode alright! cant wait for the 4080 deshroad mods to start hitting itx

Great review ali, another win for prosumers with gaming tendencies:D As a 3d artist and gamer I can't wait to grab this hopefully tomorrow

Great video as always, now I think a lot of people here would like to see some SFF related content (temps and fitting, perhaps with the 3rd parties cards)

you remain the best tech channel dude. ur hard work pays off. keep it up!

Thank you for ow test!

Would be great to see a vid on what cases work best. Which is the smallest case that fits a 4090 that we know of?

Can't wait for tests on ITX cases!

I know Apex is tough to benchmark but would you be able to comment on average frame or performance uplift on this card. I just preordered the benq 360hz monitor looking to get closer to that.

System spec (which CPU/RAM did you use)?

What’s the smallest ITX case this will fit into?

Great vid from my favorite reviewer!

Great content, per usual at this point. But what I wanted to see is a demanding game like cyberpunk (which 3090 can’t handle without dlss) - max setting, ray tracing ultra, without dlss. For a 1k plus card that’s the kinda difficult load scenarios I’d like to see

Love the vids 🌟

How do you activate frame generation or is it automatic?

Would you happen to have the ability to test for triple monitor screen sim racing titles? This is my struggle with the current 30xx lineup.

Thx for detailed test about input lagg too. U are the nr1 !

appreciate the review

@optimum tech already checked thermals in form T1 V2? Please check with cpu on water with 240TX or HPE slim (push/pull + pull with A12x25) 🙂

great video and review, If i ever upgrade from the 3070 I have which is not powerful enough for 4k 60fps on all the games I play, it will be the 4090 no doubt, but this means basically getting a new pc. I will wait it out to see at least what the 4070 will be capable of

Now I’m pretty keen to see the new cpus and when intel releases if there’s any uptick, probably not because it seems like the x3d was a next gen cou from last gen. But hey there might be something idk

Good review! btw, try undevolting! same perf but lower wattage, techyescity did 2.8ghz 53c 320+w.

Best part is the cooling for the cards since they apparently were designed to handle 600w gpu!

hi no test in 8k resolution? this test would be the most interesting given the power of this card

Can't wait for the 4080 16 GB review. That's my Christmas present to myself if it gets good reviews.

Just ordered the Alienware 3423 qdOLED. And planning on getting this card. Good to go ??

Cool master nr200p max setup with 4090 and new processors?

If you could a video like last time where you test popular SFF PSUs and what MITX cases this will fit in.
