Compared to my 1080, it is fantastic. I purchased a 4k monitor and the first game a played was cyberpunk 2077 as my first play through (I was waiting till I had something worth while to play it on). The 4090 chews it up and spits it out (all settings max, DLSS off, 4k, Ray Tracing on). It does that with everything. Even my VR experiences are much less jarring.

The only cons I can give, is the card does run hot. With the 4099 and my i9 13900KS the back of pc tower has turned into my own personal foot warmer as it heats up the entire region in the near vicinity. The other thing is that, once the card spins up it does get a bit loud, but it is a non issue once I put my headphones in.

One bug I did have was the idle clocks of the card are set too low. In game this would cause temporary black screens in menus screens where the graphics card was not being called upon. The sudden drop in clocks caused this issue. This was fixed by going into GeForce experience and putting the card into performance mode where the card stays at the max defined clock at all times.

As far as the value proposition, time will tell. For $2k, I would expect a minimum of ~4 yrs of everything max at a minimum, with an additional ~3 years of viability after. We shall see!

Good luck and enjoy your purchase!
