RTX 4090
RTX 4090
The RTX 4090 is still the card I’d point to as the more sensible high-end baseline, because it delivered a massive jump over the 3090 without the same kind of power insanity. The 5090 is faster, but the uplift is mostly around ~30% in my testing, so the 4090 remains a very strong option if you can find it at a sane price.
You'll be taken to Geni to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Still extremely fast for 4K gaming
- +Generally more reasonable power behavior than the 5090 in my comparisons
- +Great alternative if you don’t care about Multi Frame Generation
Cons
- -Slower than the RTX 5090 by roughly ~30% in many games I tested
- -Less VRAM than the 5090 for some production use cases
