In its new generation, Nvidia acted a little against the past and first released its ultra-high-end product, the RTX 4090. Regardless of the newer and improved architecture and performance, the two current Nvidia Ada Lovelace models have many events that are interesting in their own way. In this article, we are going to talk about the graphic card GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming OC Let’s talk about Gigabyte, which has its own charms.

The GeForce RTX 4090 uses AD102 silicon, but despite its excellent specifications, the full chip is not used. 16,384 CUDA cores (out of 18,432 on full silicon) along with 128 RT cores, a total of 512 Tensor cores, as well as 512 TMUs and 192 ROPs are the main specs. In the meantime, the memory part remains untouched and we still see 24 GB of 21 GB/s GDDR6X memory under the 384-bit bus. However, the amount of cache memory (level two) has increased dramatically, from 6 MB in RTX 3090 to 72 MB in RTX 4090, which is undoubtedly the direct effect of AMD’s use of Infinity Cache in this change.

Although Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC is not part of the Aorus series, it has an interesting design that will make it slightly different from the usual products of the Gaming series. For example, the RGB lighting in the fans is somehow reminiscent of an Aorus Elite product. At the same time, a 4-slot and large cooling solution is considered, which provides high heat dissipation. Meanwhile, the Gigabyte logo also uses lighting. Gaming OC uses a frequency of 2535, which shows a slight overclock compared to the reference specifications
For the GeForce RTX 40 GB series, it has decided to use a new color design for its cards. The main cooler is now black while the backplate is gray.
Regarding the dimensions in the image, it is clear that the Gaming OC is slightly larger than the RTX 4090 Founders Edition model. Also, this model is 34.5 x 15.5 cm and weighs 2020 grams.
As expected, this graphics card uses a 16-pin (12 + 4-pin) 12VHPWR connector, which provides a maximum of 600 watts of power. Dual BIOS switch OC BIOS (default) and Silent are also considered.
The RTX 4090 Gaming OC graphics card uses a vapor chamber with eight heat pipes. The motherboard also cools the VRM circuitry and memory chips very well with thermal pads.
