Asus GeForce RTX 4090 TUF 24GB

The top modification of the RTX 4090 video card from Asus, which occupies a leading position in the "four thousandth" GeForce series (Ada Lovelace, 5 nm). It is positioned by the manufacturer as a premium product for elite gaming systems with flagship Intel/AMD processors, power supplies with a capacity of at least 850 W and elite gaming monitors with a resolution of 2K/4K. With 24 GB of VRAM, a dedicated Tensor Core block, and support for proprietary NVIDIA technologies (DLSS, Broadcast, Studio Suite, etc.), it's ideal for 3D rendering, 3D, AI, copyright processing, etc.

Despite its coolness, the Asus RTX 4090 modification actually belongs to The Ultimate Force medium format series, which occupies an intermediate position in the hierarchy of components for gamers, being behind the flagship ROG Strix graphics cards. In particular, there is no complex address lighting (only the TUF logo on the side is highlighted) and other attributes of premium products.

Instead, the manufacturer focused on improving quality, using durable thermal capacitors in the power subsystem and a solid metal frame that gives the device additional stability. And it's not just that: the card weighs more than two kilograms, occupies almost 4 slots in the motherboard, and its length is almost 35 cm. The hybrid cooling system with a vapor chamber, an aluminum radiator and a trio of Axial fans is responsible for cooling an extremely powerful and rather hot chip.

Fast data transfer is ensured by a high bandwidth 384-bit bus. One of the key features of the Ada Lovelace architecture is the next-generation tensor and RT cores, which greatly improve the performance of ray tracing and artificial image scaling. Without overclocking, the net power of the RTX 4090 is 83 teraflops, after overclocking, the figure can be raised to 100 teraflops. This is a record for gaming GPUs. All this power is needed in the first place in order to provide smooth and comfortable gameplay in 4K resolution. For a lower resolution, its performance is redundant.
