So now AMD's RX 6650 XT is by far the better buy than anything it's up against. What's even better than that is nowadays the RX 6650 XT is dramatically cheaper than its Nvidia competition and well under its MSRP. However, AMD later followed up that launch with the RX 6650 XT, which is a moderately (slightly) faster version of the RX 6600 XT. Sadly, it wasn't quite there at the time, and with a price tag of $379 it became a hard sell. Read our full Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 review (opens in new tab).ĪMD's Radeon RX 6600 XT launched with its heart set on toppling Nvidia's RTX 3060 Ti, or get close to it. And it will deservedly sell, because there's no other GPU that can come near it right now. That's whether they're inconceivably well-heeled gamers, or content creators not willing to go all-in on a Quadro card. In itself, however, the RTX 4090 is an excellent graphics card and will satisfy the performance cravings of every person who could ever countenance spending $1,600 on a new GPU. We're then left counting the days until Ada descends to the pricing realm of us mere mortals. There's no denying it is an ultra-niche ultra-enthusiast card, and that almost makes the RTX 4090 little more than a reference point for most of us PC gamers.
The straight 3DMark Time Spy Extreme score is twice that of the big Ampere core, and before ray tracing or DLSS come into it, the raw silicon offers twice the 4K frame rate in Cyberpunk 2077, too. With everything turned on, with DLSS 3 and Frame Generation working its magic, the RTX 4090 is monumentally faster than the RTX 3090 that came before it. That's even before you get into the equal mix of majesty and black magic that lies behind the new DLSS 3.0 revision designed purely for Ada. And, for the most part, it makes the previous flagship card of the Ampere generation look well off the pace.
This is a vast GPU that packs in 170% more transistors than even the impossibly chonk GA102 chip that powered the RTX 3090 Ti. It's unstoppable, and probably will stay ahead of the pack as AMD sees its two new RDNA 3 cards as more RTX 4080 16GB competitors (opens in new tab). On the one hand, it's a hell of an introduction to the sort of extreme performance Ada can deliver when given a long leash, and on the other, a slightly tone-deaf release in light of a global economic crisis that makes launching a graphics card for a tight minority of gamers feel a bit off.īut we can't ignore it for this guide to the best GPUs around simply because, as it stands today, November 2022, there's no alternative to the RTX 4090 that can get anywhere close to its performance. But it's no model, and it's no moon, this is the vanguard for the entire RTX 40-series GPU generation and our first taste of the new Ada Lovelace architecture.Ī hell of an introduction to the sort of extreme performance Ada can deliver. It looks like some semi-satirical plastic model made up to skewer GPU makers for the ever-increasing size of their cards.
