Should you purchase a 2007 Honda Accord with 111,000 miles on the odometer and leather-based upholstery that also appears to be like fairly good, or must you purchase a brand new graphics card? Such is the query I posed to myself after I noticed the brand new Asus ROG Matrix RTX 4090 (and after doing a fast search on my native Craigslist). This no-holds-barred, liquid steel cooled, $4,000 GPU was revealed at Computex. We took a visit to Asus to get an interview from one among its creators, and you may watch it under.

The extremely personalized RTX 4090 has a customized steel body with an internal and outer chamber, completely hooked up to a 360mm triple-fan cooler in all-in-one style. It appears to be like like nothing else available on the market, and performs prefer it too: The enhance goes as much as 2.7GHz, the most important bounce over inventory available on the market by far. According to Asus, it’s set a number of overclocking information.

Asus Senior Product Manager Howard Hsu instructed Adam all in regards to the improvement of that customized liquid steel system, why they selected the 360mm cooler particularly, and the way nicely it can carry out in a high-end construct. This isn’t the primary product Asus has used the notoriously fickle cooling answer for, but it surely’s definitely essentially the most highly effective, commanding 660 watts immediately from the facility provide.

Though Asus wasn’t able to announce the worth on the time this video was recorded, we now know that the ROG Matrix 4090 will price $3,200, roughly double the worth of the inventory card (and coincidentally, dearer than each piece in my present PC, plus the four-column standing desk it’s mounted to).
