Cyberpunk 2077 / GeForce RTX 4090 runs up to 2850 MHz / 50C temperatures
Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p on its crazy settings preset, with DLSS, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 apparently boosts up to 2.8 GHz (2810 to 2850 MHz) at factory settings.
The RTX 4090 achieves 59 frames per second at native resolution (49 at 1% lows) with a 72–75 milliseconds frame time. Graphics processing unit (GPU) temperatures are observed in the region of 50 to 55 °C. The average latency drops to 53 ms and the frame rate increases by nearly twice to 119 FPS (1% lows) when DLSS 3 is activated. Since latency has been cut in half, this amounts to a net increase of two times the frame rate. It is also claimed that the energy consumption has been cut down considerably. DLSS "quality" 3 reduces power consumption by 25%, from 461 W while rendering at native resolution to 348 W.

The shift in workload from the FP32 cores to the tensor cores, which execute the DLSS algorithms, likely contributes to the power numbers. Instead of using the entire GPU for brute force, which is inefficient and drains more power, the specialized tensor cores at these talks can analyze the data far more quickly and efficiently, all while using less power. We can't wait to get our hands on some review samples of DLSS 3 and see if it truly is a game-changer.

This is the only chart that mattered to me. No 60 FPS RTRT @ 4K without DLSS or upscaling.
Not buying anything until that GPU performance target has been hit.
Thanks, moving onto other things.

When rtx5000 is out, there will be another demanding game that will do 30 fps. So?
You can't judge the usefulness of a card evaluating a software with arbitrary necessity to render graphics.
Unless all you do is cyberpunk h24, but you would get tired fast and then move to something else.

The temperatures are impressive indeed. My 3090 temps range from 65c to 75c. There's been a few times I've seen 80c. Granted mine is overclocked. Stock temps normally between 58c to 65c depending on the game.
To be honest Gurus it looks like I'm rolling with the 4090. There is so much information being released now and most of it is positive in regard to performance and tech.
I may kick myself in November when AMD delivers an awesome card but hey, I will still be very happy.

Despite all the memes this is why big GPU coolers are good. Silent and runs cool. I'm not missing these 2slot GPUs from 5 years ago that ran 84C with fans screaming at 90% speed.

Wow. Those temps are really impressive actually consider the clock and power. Steady 60fps do you think?
