Sale / Good deal – The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 “5 star” graphics card at €1,840.90

The first graphics card in the RTX 40 series, the GeForce RTX 4090 introduces Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace architecture. This 2.2 kg behemoth relies heavily on performance in 4K games rich in raytracing effects. As always, this model comes with some interesting new software such as DLSS 3.

The GeForce RTX 4090 is undoubtedly an excellent graphics card. A luxury model displayed at an elitist price, it excels in absolutely all areas, while deliberately emphasizing the execution of raytracing games. This is perhaps the raison d’être of this generation of graphics cards: to prepare the ground for games that are increasingly provided with graphic effects of this type. And to top it off, Nvidia adorns this graphics card – and the other RTX 40s – with the DLSS 3 upscaling system which perfects an already excellent recipe. A card of choice, for those who can afford it.

An alternative

The GeForce RTX 4080 is a card to consider for gamers with an ultra-high definition monitor who want to enable all graphics effects in games while taking advantage of raytracing.

And to top it off, Nvidia adorns this graphics card – and the other RTX 4000 series – with the DLSS 3 upscaling system which perfects an already excellent recipe. A card of choice, for those who can afford it.
