Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC-V, 24GB GDDR6X, HDMI, 3x DP

Wie schlagen sich die neuen CPUs Ryzen 5 9600X und Ryzen 7 9700X im Gaming auf einer Grafikkarte vom Typ Radeon RX 7900 XTX im Vergleich zur GeForce RTX 4090? Wie reagieren die CPUs auf schnelleren Speicher bis hinauf zu DDR5-8000 in Spielen? Der Test liefert die Antworten.

Colorful offers a very unique product here. Good performance; it's a well-balanced card. The default BIOS sound level is 38–39 DBa, which is okay for a high-TGP device. We are 3% faster than founder edition cards. At these framerates, 3% is not much of a difference, though. It plays games very smoothly and has superb graphics thanks to RT and DLSS. My main issue is what it takes to cool, it is big and heavy. Power consumption remains to be a thing as well, this card uses 450W when fully utilized. Not let me also state that most in games that value will be lower. This card should target gamers who start at WQHD or greater resolutions. Except for the NVIDIA-designed adaptor that converts four 8-pin PCIe power connectors into a 12+4 pin 12VHPWR. Video outputs include three DisplayPort and one HDMI. GeForce RTX 4090's ADA GPU architecture performs well. Extra shader cores, double-performance Raytracing and Tensor cores, and technologies like SER and DLSS 3.0 make the new product and Series 4000 sparkle. GeForce RTX 4090 AD102 GPU has 76.3B transistors. The card is large and heavy (over 2 kg) but has a beautiful design. Just ensure that it will fit in your computer. The performance, yeah, that performance, it is all good. When using Flight Simulator 2020 with DLSS 3.0, it is now possible to fly at 100~125 FPS or higher at Ultra HD with ultra quslity settings. With raytracing and DLSS, Cyberpunk in UHD can easily achieve over 100 FPS. This is an Ultra HD graphics card, and it excels in this regard, regardless of whether shading (normally rendered games) or hybrid ray-tracing + DLSS are employed. It is a thoroughbred stallion but requires a great deal of energy. You might be better off with a GeForce RTX 4070 or 4080 when it is released if you want to save money, however can't hold it again if you decide to buy this product as it oozes premium. Colorful did an excellent job with the new Vulcan OC-V. The default additional performance is 3% better, though the competing cards are also ~3% better. But hey, if you want a card that offers great aesthetics and an LCD monitor screen, we recommend this one over the founder's edition.

According to Colorful, the RTX 4090 Vulcan OC-V will retail for $1750, which is a $150 increase over the NVIDIA Founders Edition baseline pricing for RTX 4090. We're not aware of any 4090 model that sells for below $1600. For these $150 you get a very powerful cooler, a factory overclock (which you have to manually activate first), RGB lighting, a dual BIOS and a neat little LCD display that attaches to the card. Compared to similarly positioned cards I feel like the Colorful board will require a bit more tweaking for the optimum experience, because in my opinion the fan curve isn't ideal, and the out of the box default clock isn't why you're buying a custom-design card.
