RTX 4090 At 3.0GHz
HXL on Twitter shared 2 pictures from bilibili allegedly showing the RTX 4090 clocked at 3.0GHz. This is not new because NVIDIA themselves claimed it ran above 3.0GHz while testing. The first picture shows the RTX 4090 being stress-tested in MSI Kombustor. The GPU clocks in at 3.0GHz, which is on using a water chiller. The GPU power draw remains relatively lower at just 425.6W. No temperature figure was given by the leaker, possibly due to the NDA concerns. ~Jensen Huang Another test was conducted using the same software. This time the RTX 4090 clocks at 2.64GHz, however, the power draw increases by 44% at 616W. Fret not, for this is still shy of the max TGP (660W). Such high clocks and power consumptions do beg the question. Do you really need a heater this winter?
The RTX 4090
The RTX 4090 is built on the AD102 GPU, which is unparalleled in terms of performance. The GPU features a massive 24GB of Samsung-made GDDR6X memory running at 24Gbps for 1152GB/s of effective bandwidth. Packed with 16384 CUDA Cores, this powerhouse is home to 75 billion transistors in total, more than 2.5x than the RTX 3090 Ti. Priced at $1599, it has raised a few eyebrows from community.
