The RTX 4090 has landed, and made a big crater judging by the size of some of these cards. We have Nvidia's Founders Edition alongside the Asus ROG Strix OC and the MSI Suprim Liquid X, tested across a suite of games. The RTX 40-series and Ada Lovelace launch have created a massive gulf between the 4090 and the next fastest GPUs, particularly at 4K and with ray tracing. We'll also take a first look at DLSS 3 performance and how that could shape the future of games. And we've got overclocking results, with one of the cards apparently sporting Micron 24Gbps VRAM, even though it's labeled as 21Gbps — but it completed our test suite at 24.5Gbps, a full 2Gbps higher than the other cards. Finally, despite the high price, that still wasn't enough to stop scalpers from crashing the launch party, and all of the cards almost immediately sold out. There's a ton to discuss on today's show, so get ready for the biggest GPU launch in over two years.
