Gaming performance
With an FPSpilot index of 100/100, the NVIDIA RTX 4090 belongs to the enthusiast tier. It is built for 4K at high-to-ultra settings, ray tracing enabled, and high refresh rates at 1440p. Practically no current game troubles it.
VRAM: what resolutions it handles
Its 24 GB of VRAM removes any concern about graphics memory: maximum-quality textures, ray tracing and 4K resolutions all fit comfortably. It also leaves headroom for content creation, rendering and local AI workloads.
Technologies & features
As a recent RTX generation, it supports DLSS 3 with Frame Generation, hardware-accelerated ray tracing and NVIDIA Reflex for latency reduction. DLSS upscaling gains 40-70% FPS with minimal visual quality loss, extending the card's useful life.
Frequently asked questions
Is the NVIDIA RTX 4090 good for gaming in 2026?
Yes. With an FPSpilot index of 100/100, the NVIDIA RTX 4090 performs well in current games. It is suited to 1440p and even 4K with optimised settings.
How much VRAM does the NVIDIA RTX 4090 have and is it enough?
It has 24 GB of VRAM. Enough for 1440p and 4K with high textures in current games.
What power supply do I need for the NVIDIA RTX 4090?
For a card of this tier a quality 750-850 W power supply (80 Plus Gold or better) is recommended, leaving headroom for transient power spikes and the rest of the components.
Is the NVIDIA RTX 4090 worth it versus newer alternatives?
Launched in 2022, it only makes sense at a clearly lower price than current cards of similar performance, which add more modern upscaling technologies, lower power draw and full warranty. On the second-hand market it can be a reasonable option if the price is right.
