Gainward GeForce RTX 4090 Phantom GS, 24GB GDDR6X, 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.

A surprise from start to finish: the GAINWARD GeForce RTX 4090 Phantom "GS" graphics cards is one of the best outings of the RTX 4090 you can buy.

We do not test Gainward products as often as Palit products, which come from the same ODM. I have to say I was impressed. The performance is good, and the card feels well-balanced. By default, the sound level is around 38–39 DBa, which is fine for a product with a higher TGP. We are about 4% faster than a founder edition card in the end. But at these performance levels, 4% extra framerates is not a lot. It is a great product in terms of how well it plays games and how good the graphics are thanks to excellent RT performance and DLSS. My biggest worry is not about how well it runs, but what it needs to cool, it is also big. This card uses about 450 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.
