While Nvidia is already raising the bar on graphics cards a lot with the RTX 4090 Founders Edition, other manufacturers are trying to squeeze even more performance out of the reference design, if that’s what it takes. Our colleague from tested how well Gigabyte did this with the RTX 4090 Gaming OC Zenchilli Hardware Reviews clarify in your essay. If you look at the data sheet, the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming OC shows a difference compared to the Founders Edition: the boost clock is slightly higher at 2535 MHz out of the box (FE: 2520 MHz). The differences become clearer when it comes to design: the gigabyte card is slightly larger and thicker due to its triple-fan cooling system. Therefore, you need to make sure that there is enough space on the PC.
The Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC scores 52,559 points in the Fire Strike benchmark and 31,767 points in Time Spy. Games like Call of Duty: Warzone, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, or Borderlands 3 always run at 100 FPS or even much higher on 4K map and maximum graphics settings. Users can switch between a standard and silent BIOS via a switch. As the test shows, this only affects fan control, clock speeds don’t change as a result.
