ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090, TUF-RTX4090-24G-GAMING, 24GB GDDR6X, 2x HDMI, 3x DP

Wie schlagen sich die neuen CPUs Ryzen 5 9600X und Ryzen 7 9700X im Gaming auf einer Grafikkarte vom Typ Radeon RX 7900 XTX im Vergleich zur GeForce RTX 4090? Wie reagieren die CPUs auf schnelleren Speicher bis hinauf zu DDR5-8000 in Spielen? Der Test liefert die Antworten.

Mit der Asus GeForce RTX 4090 TUF OC hat ComputerBase das erste Custom-Design der schnellsten RTX-4000-Grafikkarte im Test. Das Modell profitiert vom besseren Kühlsystem, das einen leiseren Spielebetrieb ermöglicht. Davon abgesehen wird es den Custom-Designs dieses Mal aber noch schwerer fallen, einen Unterschied zu machen.

While the TUF Gaming RTX 4090 is undoubtedly a beast in terms of gaming performance, the additional 24GB of VRAM will almost certainly go unused unless you are utilizing it for rendering or lavish 4K/8K gaming. Compared to the 4090 founder edition, the TUF improved performance by over 2-3%. It is an excellent product in terms of gaming performance and graphics quality. My biggest concerns are not with performance but with cooling as it is just so BIG. This card consumes close to 435 Watts of power. You must be gaming at an Ultra HD resolution or higher to make sense of this card. Regardless of my disdain for price and energy waste, I do enjoy a decent piece of hardware inside a PC, except for the required NVIDIA-designed adaptor, which transforms four 8-pin PCIe power connectors into a 12+4 pin 12VHPWR. Three DisplayPort and one HDMI are available as video outputs. A sleek, three-dimensional backplate with a brushed aluminium finish is included. A dual-BIOS switch is located close to the power jack. ADA GPU architecture can perform skillfully and excellently; the GeForce RTX 4090 is a powerhouse. A good chunk of extra shader cores, nearly double performance Raytracing and Tensor cores, and underlying technologies like Shader Execution Reordering (SER) and DLSS 3.0 make the new product and Series 4000 shine. The GeForce RTX 4090 AD102 GPU has 76.3B transistors; I mean, OMG, staggering values. Starting at $1599; yes, the price is an unfavourable factor, and the amount of energy used as explained, is also something to ponder about. Both are high for this product to make any sense. For this graphics card to make any sense, you must play games in Ultra HD or at least start at a monitor resolution of 2560x1440. We also know that because the product is in a very narrow niche, the two negatives do not have to make sense to a lot of you as enthusiast components are a class of their own. Regardless of it all, I live and thrive on exciting technology; I like this piece of hardware inside a PC, though, because it is a magnificent product no matter how you look at it. The RTX 4090 will exhaust a lot of heat, so ensure you have a lot of ventilation. The card is big and heavy (2.3kg), but still looks great, but you need to make sure you can fit this inside your PC. The performance, man, that performance, it is all good. Take Flight Simulator 2020 combined with DLSS 3.0, you can fly at 100+ FPS in a higher resolution now. Cyberpunk at UHD with raytracing and DLSS easily passes 100 FPS. This is an Ultra HD card, and it shines in that area, whether shading (regularly rendered games) or hybrid ray-tracing + DLSS is used. It is a purebred stallion but needs a lot of power and will only cater to a small group of people. Should you buy this product? Well, from a more economical point of view, you would be better off with a to-be-released GeForce RTX 4070 or 4080. As conclusion we can say that ASUS did it right with the new TUF Gaming OC; yet, the default extra performance is only 2, maybe 3%; however, if you are genuinely into silent operation and stunning appearance, then we can recommend this card above the founder edition at roughly the same price.
