Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC Graphics Card Review

Overall Game Average FPS

Testing a variety of games allows you to see how a particular piece of hardware performs in that title, but with the ability to look at overall game averages and how they perform across all titles, we can extrapolate the positioning of that hardware compared to similar hardware on the market.

What is interesting is to look at the overall averages across the 30 games we’ve tested, starting with 1080p where we see a decent 7% uplift in performance over the 6950XT from Sapphire, which is nice to see, but it’s much less than what you’d expect, and that all comes down to the fact that the 4090 is such a powerful card, that it simply gets bottlenecked at 1080p.

Moving up to 1440p and we can see that performance gap getting larger with a 21% performance improvement over the 6950XT, but is still being limited by our processor, even at this resolution.

Then finally at 4K we see the sheer performance of the Gigabyte RTX 4090 with an uplift of 42% over the 3090 Ti and a larger 47% gain over the Radeon 6950 XT with the most interesting thing being the 1% lows that are around the same as the averages of both the 3090 ti and the 6950 XT. That’s some serious performance!
