Nvidia RTX 4090 Graphics Card Review

Overall Game Average FPS

Testing a variety of games allows you to see how a particular piece of hardware performs in that title, but with the ability to look at overall game averages and how they perform across all titles, we can extrapolate the positioning of that hardware compared to similar hardware on the market.

Taking a look at the overall frame rate averages, and at 1080p we see some pretty decent results with the Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 coming in around 13% faster than the 3090 Ti and 10% faster than the 6900XT while the MSI improves on that further pushing 15% faster than the 3090 Ti and a 11% faster than the 6900XT. While these are impressive, running a GPU like this at 1080p really does show how you’d be CPU bound overall and will start to see some restrictions in performance due to the GPU being so powerful.

At 1440p, the bottleneck of the CPU is still there but does alleviate slightly where we see both RTX 4090’s push ahead of the 3090 Ti by around 23% and further cements its lead over the 6900XT by a 30% margin.

When compared to the competition, the 4090 comes in 49% faster than the 6950 XT and a whopping 68% faster than the 6900 XT but obviously cost will play a factor too, which we’ll look at shortly. Before we do, it’s worth looking at ray tracing performance because it’s one of the main reasons why you’d buy NVIDIA over the competition, and with again, such bold claims when it comes to performance coming from the green team, it’s definitely one of the most interesting talking points of the RTX 4090.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
