Nvidia RTX 4090 Graphics Card Review

3DMark Port Royal

3DMark Port Royal is the world’s first real-time ray tracing benchmark for gamers. It shows you how well your PC handles ray-tracing effects in real time. Use Port Royal to benchmark graphics cards that support Microsoft DirectX Raytracing. Compare Port Royal benchmark scores to see how overclocking affects ray-tracing performance. Find your PC’s performance limits with custom benchmark settings and detailed hardware monitoring charts.

3DMark is available on Steam here.

In Port Royal we again see some huge gains of up to 72% in both the score and overall FPS for the MSI Suprim X model with the Gigabyte sitting just behind when looking at the gains compared to the Ampere flagship.

3DMark Timespy Extreme

Time Spy Extreme is a new 4K DirectX 12 benchmark test, available in 3DMark Advanced and Professional Editions. You don’t need a 4K monitor to run it, but you will need a GPU with at least 4 GB of dedicated memory. With its 4K Ultra HD rendering resolution, Time Spy Extreme is an ideal benchmark test for the latest high-end graphics cards. The CPU test has been redesigned to let processors with 8 or more cores perform to their full potential

3DMark is available on Steam here.

So starting things off with some synthetic benchmarks and in Timespy Extreme, things get off to a flying start where we see a huge 50% uplift in the overall score and an even larger 69% improvement in the graphics score on both the Gigabyte and MSI 4090 cards when compared to the Gigabyte RTX 3090 Ti.

PugetBench for Davinci

A benchmark for both CPU and GPU performance that is a great basis for comparing the video and graphics editing capabilities of any system.

Available now on Puget.

In our last synthetic test, we’re taking a look at the PugetBench for Davinci Resolve which gives us both standard and extended scores and in the standard test, we see a 17% uplift in performance when looking at the 3090 Ti and moving up to both the Gigabyte Gaming OC and MSI Suprim X models while the extended test shows a similar result with a 16% increase in performance over the 3090 Ti.
