The ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 STRIX OC is the company's flagship graphics card. It comes with a huge cooler that's all metal, even on the cooler shroud. In terms of performance our review confirms that this is the best air cooler available and out of the box performance is great too, thanks to a default power limit of 500 W.

The MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Suprim X is the quiestest RTX 4090 custom-design that we've tested. It runs at an unbelievable 28.6 dBA in our review, under full load, 4K, 60 FPS with ray tracing enabled, and temperatures are still really good.

With their GeForce 40 Series, MSI is introducing a liquid cooling solution that's pre-filled and maintenance free. While other cards take up three or four slots in your system, the Suprim Liquid X is only dual-slot. Our review confirms: noise levels are fantastic, even the pump is inaudible in idle.

Palit has engineered their GeForce RTX 4090 GameRock OC with bling in mind. A large crystal-esque structure on the front intensifies the RGB lighting effects in an impressive way. With $1700, Palit picked a reasonable price increase over FE pricing, and our review confirms that performance is excellent.

Zotac's GeForce RTX 4080 AMP Extreme Airo comes with a mesmerizing RGB implementation that simply looks stunning. As expected, a factory overclock is included on Zotac's new flagship, and the cooler runs very quietly once the dual BIOS is switched to "quiet mode".

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition offers huge gains over its predecessors. It's the first graphics card to get you 4K 60 FPS with ray tracing enabled, and upscaling disabled. Do you prefer 120 FPS instead of 60? Just turn on DLSS 3.
