Key strengths

21,760 CUDA cores, a 2410 MHz boost clock and 32 GB of GDDR7 on a 512-bit bus. Against MSI's RTX 4090 SUPRIM X 24G it has 8 GB more memory, three rather than two video encoders and adds DLSS Multi Frame Generation.

A two-slot Founders Edition design with a double flow-through cooler and 3D vapor chamber. Outputs are three DisplayPort 2.1b (UHBR20) and one HDMI 2.1b, for up to four displays.

The checks that matter.

Before you buy

NVIDIA's own pages give different PSU guidance: 1000 W in the specification table and quick-start guide, but 850 W in the product page's preparation section. Check your PSU and cables against the quick-start guide (one 600 W 16-pin cable or four 8-pin connectors) before buying.

It draws a rated 575 W through one 16-pin connector and needs a 304 × 137 × 61 mm installation space plus 36 mm of power-cable clearance. NVIDIA lists Reflex Frame Warp as coming soon.

Every specification. With its source.
