The GeForce RTX 4090 is still around today the undisputed queen of the desktop computer when it comes to performance. Of course, it is not a graphics card for everyone, because both the price and the requirements are aimed at very specific user profiles. Whether you want to enjoy the most extreme gaming experience, edit content in high definition, or perform tasks related to artificial intelligence and more, the lucky owners of the current flagship from NVIDIA know that there is no other desktop solution. it is close to what they have.

Note that in normal release and out of the box its performance will smoothly increase up to 2,750 megahertzas we told you when we tested NVIDIA’s reference design, a more than remarkable speed, because it represents a more than significant increase compared to the two gigahertz “and a pinch” of its predecessor, the RTX 3090. And I insist, he spoke from the basic configuration, and if these are the overclocking options that NVIDIA graphics cards have always offered, the GeForce RTX 4090 is of course no exception.

On the one hand, we find the GeForce RTX 4090 models, which, thanks to the use of components specially designed for this purpose, allow you to increase GPU performance in a completely safe way. The OC variants offered by some manufacturers are a perfect example of this and as a general rule they usually have advanced cooling systems, in many cases liquid cooling, which is responsible for protecting key components.

The first to break the 3900 MHz barrier on VGA🔥

On the other hand, we find users, many of whom are professionals, who know how to push the performance of graphics cards to the extreme, beyond their technical specifications and their maximum assumptions, and it is in this very interesting ecosystem that we find ourselves. with many world records. The most recent example of this can be found in HWBot, where we can see the tag CENS, a modder who managed to get my GeForce RTX 4090 running at 3,930 megahertzthereby setting a world record and falling just 70 megahertz below the symbolic four gigahertz mark.

To achieve this mark, CENS employed a Colorful iGame RTX 4090 LABThe Colorful GeForce RTX 4090 specially optimized for overclocking, ranks above its well-known and seasoned iGame Vulcan family, which has already surprised us in the past with beasts such as the Colorful iGAME GTX 1080 KUDAN from 2016, and which has also entered other markets such as AiO.
