NVIDIA’S 40-series card brought us the technical marvel that is the RTX 4090.
Sure, it chewed through power, occasionally melted cables, and cost $1,599. It hogged the limelight, and we all wanted one. Further down the 40-series range, things weren’t as rosy. The RTX 4080 was deemed overpriced.
Anybody who was after the ultimate gaming card sprang for a 4090 if they could. Others looked around for a better deal, or waited.
