The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 can reach 20,192 points in 3DMark Time Spy Extreme, according to an alleged benchmark for the upcoming flagship graphics card shared by a Chiphell forum user and spotted by HXL.

Looks like it is shaping up, but it is good to have some healthy skepticism about these "up to 3Ghz" numbers.

That's what they said about my 6900xt before it launched, but even with a overkill sized water loop, it gets nowhere near 3Ghz.

We will see how it benches when launched.
 
Maybe it hits 3ghz for 5 minutes under LN2? Or maybe they pulled a pentium 4 style trick with it and lowered the IPC? I find clockspeed mostly meaningless at this point.

I agree, it's an entire dynamic target any more. Peak clock speed is pretty meaningless. Sustained performance is all that really matters, and that's going to be a function of architecture, power delivery and cooling. Illustrating that is hard to do on the side of the box though, so we continue to get the marketing "Ghz" number.
 
So ... their GPU is about as fast as an eleven year old CPU? My i7-3930k does 3.2 GHz without turbo. Not sure their marketing message was received as intended.



... and yes, I know the difference between a CPU and a GPU.
