Notes
- MSRP of $1599 USD sourced from NVIDIA's official announcement. A Founders Edition was available at this price. Due to high demand and limited availability, most RTX 4090 cards are priced between $1,700 and $2,000 or higher.
- fp16TFLOPS is "Peak FP16 Tensor TFLOPS with FP16 Accumulate" as that's what NVIDIA publishes. Using the "with sparsity" metric.
- int8TOPS of 660.6 represents non-sparse (dense) INT8 performance, derived from sparse INT8 of 1321.2 TOPS ÷ 2 per NVIDIA Ada architecture whitepaper. With 2:4 structured sparsity, INT8 performance is 1321.2 TOPS. Dense value used for consistent cross-vendor comparison.
- fp8TFLOPS of 660.6 represents non-sparse (dense) FP8 performance. NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace 4th-generation Tensor Cores process FP8 and INT8 at identical per-clock throughput (both are 8-bit formats). NVIDIA's official specifications state the RTX 4090 achieves up to 1,321 TFLOPS FP8 tensor core peak throughput with sparsity (per https://arxiv.org/html/2511.18674, citing NVIDIA specs), which exactly matches the 1,321.2 TOPS sparse INT8 figure from the NVIDIA Ada GPU Architecture whitepaper. Dense FP8 = 1,321 ÷ 2 = 660.6 TFLOPS = dense INT8. Dense value used for consistent cross-vendor comparison.
- Ada Lovelace has no FP4 hardware path (FP4 tensor core support was introduced in Blackwell) — fp4TFLOPS is left null and is a confirmed hardware negative, not a research gap, so it is not added to unverifiedSpecs.
- Power based on what NVIDIA refers to as "TGP (Total Graphics Power)"
- NVIDIA Founders Edition part number 900-1G136-2530-000 sourced from PCPartPicker and TechPowerUp GPU Database.
- Third-party product identifiers sourced from official manufacturer websites and TechPowerUp GPU Database. EVGA did not produce RTX 4090 cards as they exited the GPU market in September 2022.
- AIB partners include ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, Zotac, PNY, Palit, Gainward, INNO3D, GALAX/KFA2, and Colorful. Each manufacturer offers multiple variants with different cooling solutions and factory overclocks.
