Nvidia’s RTX 4090 graphics card, which can hit the cabinets in below two weeks now, has been noticed in recent leaked benchmarks which have precipitated a contact of disappointment amongst some of us.
The GPU has been run via its paces within the Geekbench CUDA check as flagged up by Benchleaks on Twitter (which Wccftech (opens in new tab) noticed, through VideoCardz (opens in new tab)).

As all the time, let’s keep skeptical and all the time needless to say fakery may very well be at play, however the two scores reported for the RTX 4090 are 417,713 and 424,332, so basically across the 420,000 mark.
Going by Geekbench CUDA comparisons, this makes the RTX 4090 near 80% quicker than its predecessor the 3090, and about 60% faster than the quickest Ampere card, the RTX 3090 Ti.
Be aware that the PC which the Nvidia flagship GPU was examined in had a Ryzen 9 7950X processor (in an X670E motherboard) and was geared up with 32GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, so the supporting forged, because it had been, was robust on this case. (As a sidenote, the 7950X managed a median enhance of very shut to five.7GHz via the benchmarking.)
Evaluation: Don’t soar the gun and decide too early
Geekbench CUDA is after all a measurement of heavyweight workloads (information heart), so skilled customers will probably be extra eager on seeing these outcomes, not players. However it’s nonetheless attention-grabbing for all events to see the relative energy – add seasoning, naturally – of the RTX 4090 versus the RTX 3090 within the first non-Nvidia benchmark.
There are some who consider this can be a good pointer in direction of the form of ballpark efficiency we’ll get for traditional gaming – which means rasterized, versus ray-traced, the latter of which has been Nvidia’s fundamental focus for the pre-release advertising forward of the RTX 4090 occurring sale. (Nicely, that and the way a lot DLSS 3 will enhance efficiency in an enormous means, for video games that assist it anyhow.)
Nvidia has mentioned that next-gen Lovelace GPUs will probably be able to doubling up rasterization efficiency in comparison with Ampere graphics playing cards, however that’s a finest case situation, and the positive aspects for lots of PC video games might effectively fall considerably under that, and as talked about probably according to what we see right here for these Geekbench CUDA runs.
We will see, however actually, we wouldn’t learn an excessive amount of into this leak – it’s only one check, in any case, and never a generally relied upon metric both.
All in all, we have to reserve judgement for once we can totally consider the powers of the 4090 ourselves throughout a set of various video games and naturally software program. (Don’t neglect, this GPU is basically extra focused at inventive execs who’re prepared to dig deep into their pockets to cowl the exorbitant price ticket, than fanatic players – however the latter sort of purchaser, who should have the perfect gaming GPU, actually exists, it’s only a area of interest class.)
