Nvidia's RTX 4090 targets 300+ FPS at 1440p with low latency for competitive shooters
The PC gaming landscape is once again set for big changes with the launch of new hardware. As the next generation rolls in, many of us are adrift in dreams of upgrades. With some of the newest Nvidia cards officially launching this November(opens in new tab), we're drooling over the potential boost that can come with new GPUs.
Depending on what you play and how, you might be interested in different advancements. For the shooter die-hards, Nvidia is making some pretty big promises when it comes to improvements in frame rate for some of the most popular games. For those chasing impossibly high FPS numbers, a new monitor may well be in need to keep up with these cards.
Nvidia is making some pretty big claims for its RTX 40 Series, stating that competitive players will actually benefit from something like a 27" 1440p 360Hz monitor like the Alienware 34 QD-OLED(opens in new tab) monitor, which is one of our favourites in the category(opens in new tab). The company says the new cards will deliver framerates of 360+ with latency as low as 10ms in optimised games, giving players a slight edge.
A graph on Nvidia's RTX 40 announcement page(opens in new tab) shows off some of these improvements to popular esports titles. The examples given are for the upcoming RTX 4090, paired with an Intel i9 running Apex Legends, Fortnite, Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, and Valorant at 1440P. Most were happily pulling over 400 FPS with under 10ms latency on the company's tests.
