RTX 4090 FPS Calculator

The RTX 4090 is no longer sold new in most places, but it still outruns nearly everything else. Across our 30 games at High it averages 179 FPS at 1080p, 141 FPS at 1440p and 85 FPS at 4K. That is a comfortable 4K at 60 FPS or better in almost every game, and over 100 FPS at 1440p. Its 24 GB of VRAM is never a limit in our table. If you already own one, there is little reason to upgrade. If you are shopping for one used, compare it against the RTX 5080.

What CPU to pair with RTX 4090

RTX 4090 reaches 179 FPS at 1080p, so the processor sets the ceiling there. Pair it with the fastest gaming CPU you can afford, an X3D chip or a top-tier current-generation part, and expect the CPU to matter less at 4K where the card is the limit.

What monitor suits RTX 4090

1080p: Skip 1080p. RTX 4090 averages 179 FPS there, and the CPU becomes the limit before the monitor can use the frames.

1440p: A 1440p panel at 240 Hz or higher uses the card's 141 FPS average. It suits competitive play, though you give up the image quality RTX 4090 can deliver at 4K.

4K: A 4K panel at 144 Hz or higher is what RTX 4090 is for. It averages 85 FPS at 4K High, so a high-refresh OLED or fast IPS panel with VRR makes full use of it.
