Our verdict

The RTX 4090 Graphics Card takes the performance lead with a 18% higher overall score, driven by its 16,384 shader cores, 24 GB of memory, and 82.6 TFLOPS TFLOPS of compute power. In gaming benchmarks at 1440p, it delivers roughly 45% more frames per second across demanding titles like Alan Wake 2 and Black Myth Wukong.

However, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Graphics Card tells a compelling value story. At $799 versus the RTX 4090 Graphics Card's $1599 price tag, it costs 100% less while delivering performance that's only 18% behind. Its 16 GB of memory is still more than enough for 1440p and even 4K gaming in most titles.

Our recommendation: for the majority of gamers targeting 1440p or even 4K with upscaling enabled, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Graphics Card is the smarter purchase. The RTX 4090 Graphics Card only makes sense if you need the absolute maximum performance for native 4K ray tracing, professional 3D rendering, or AI workloads where the extra VRAM and compute power provide a tangible advantage.
