Goodbye RTX 30 Series: A Look at the New RTX 4090 Ti's Performance Leaks In the recent YouTube video titled "Goodbye 30 Series", there's significant buzz surrounding the upcoming Nvidia RTX 4090 Ti, which is expected to make the previous generation—RTX 30 series—obsolete. The video highlights performance benchmarks that are quite striking, claiming a 2.2X performance increase over the RTX 3090, particularly in ray tracing capabilities.
Key Highlights
- Performance Insights:
- The RTX 4090 achieved a leak score exceeding 19,000 points in the Time Spy benchmark. This score represents an impressive 91% uplift compared to the RTX 3090.
- Further analysis suggests that this score might be conservative, as the final version of the RTX 4090 may reach even higher performance levels due to potential overclocking and higher thermal power limits (TGP). The initial tests are thought to be running at a conservative 450 watts, with overclocked models potentially hitting 600 watts.
- The host shared insights from various Twitter users, indicating that while some expected the RTX 4090 performance to not be significantly better than the overclocked 3090 Ti, data points to a substantial enhancement that would render the older series nearly irrelevant.
- Users from the community, including leaker Compete7Kimi, suggest that the early benchmarks do not reflect the true potential of the RTX 4090, especially when factoring in different configurations.
- The video suggests that performance enhancements of the 4090 Ti could be even more impressive, further distancing itself from the 30 series. Speculative discussions indicate it could reach performance metrics that exceed 2X when compared to the RTX 3090 at similar settings, such as achieving over 160 fps in demanding games like Control at 4K with DLSS.
Implications for Windows Users
For Windows enthusiasts, particularly gamers and content creators, the implications of these performance leaps are profound. With such exponential power gains, users considering upgrades may find the 40 series offers compelling justification for investing in new hardware. Enthusiasts aiming for high-performance gaming setups could greatly benefit from the capabilities of the 4090 and its anticipated variants. Furthermore, such advancements may lead to the need for more robust power supplies and cooling solutions, as approaching the 600W+ mark for GPUs could challenge the existing setups for many users.Conclusion
As the Nvidia RTX 4090 and its Ti variant emerge, it seems clear that they will redefine gaming performance benchmarks, potentially sidelining the RTX 30 series. For those considering upgrades, this information signals a remarkable shift in performance and capabilities. It will be interesting to see how the market responds once these new GPUs are fully launched and tested. What are your thoughts on the RTX 4090 and its potential impact?
