RTX 4090 reviewed against the RTX 3090 Ti: Is the extra money worth it? Should you upgrade if you already have a 3090 Ti? The RTX 3090 Ti can provide a very good 1440p experience, and even does well at 4K. In this video we will even look at ultrawide 3440x1440. But the RTX 4090 is at a whole new level of performance. Is it worth it? Let's look at some apples to apples comparisons as well as looking at what sorts of realistic graphics settings (including ray tracing and DLSS) make sense for each GPU.
