About NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (2022)

The RTX 4090 launched NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace architecture, built on TSMC's 4nm process with 16,384 CUDA cores, more than 50% above the previous-generation RTX 3090 Ti. Its 24GB of GDDR6X memory and 450W TDP matched the 3090 Ti's power envelope while delivering a substantial generational performance leap, backed by 3rd-gen RT Cores and 4th-gen Tensor Cores for DLSS 3 frame generation.

Known Issues & Fixes

Issue	Solution / Fix
Some early units experienced melted 12VHPWR power connectors, traced to improperly seated cables or excessive cable bending near the connector.	NVIDIA and PSU makers addressed this with connector design revisions; ensure the 12VHPWR cable is fully seated and not bent sharply within 35mm of the connector.
A number of owners reported the card's large triple-slot, ~304mm length causes case compatibility issues.	Not fixable; check your case's maximum GPU length and slot clearance before purchase.
