Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 4090 makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 3090 Ti by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. The RTX 4090 is faster by 36% for 1440p gaming. However, RTX 3090 Ti is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from RTX 3090 Ti to RTX 4090 is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 4090 .

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 / Ryzen 9 5950X

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RTX 4090 is simply ridiculous. For those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 4090 is very expensive and there are better value choices in the short term. It is worth noting that the RTX 4090 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RTX 4090 's 24576 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RTX 4090 , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
