Top Nvidia RTX 40 Series GPU claimed to double performance in Control over the 3090 Ti
Interest in the RTX 40 Series is rapidly increasing in anticipation of an initial fall release. As such, there are many rumors and performance leaks springing up around the internet. Preliminary performance leaks often come from synthetic benchmark tests, but we’re all about the real-world performance here. We at last have something to share in regards to gaming performance of the RTX 40 Series, and it relates to the title Control.
As reported by VideoCardz, Twitter user AGF @XpeaGPU claims to have information about the first in-game score for the full AD102 GPU that’s expected to power the RTX 4090 Ti, or whatever top-end option Nvidia goes with for its RTX 40 Series. According to AGF’s understanding of the test, the AD102 GPU managed to exceed 160+ fps in Control at 4K resolution with DLSS Quality and all other settings cranked to the max, including ray tracing.
That’s a hefty increase of about 2.2x the performance compared to the existing flagship RTX 3090 Ti. However, AGF noted that these results were achieved at “high power draw,” which doesn’t tell us much. There are rumored 450W, 600W, and 800W TDPs for the AD102 die. Considering this is the “full AD102” with high power draw, we can probably count the standard RTX 4090 out. It’s also important to note that AGF did not provide the other system specs that contributed to this result.
It appears Nvidia may redefine what a “high-end PC” truly means if it launches 600-800W graphics cards this next generation. This level of performance sounds tantalizing, but it simply won’t be realistic for the overwhelming majority of gamers. Even 450W of power consumption is pushing it in terms of what most are willing to deal with.
Got first in game score. Full AD102 at "high power
