https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/10/ars-is-full-steam-ahead-on-an-nvidia-rtx-4090-gpu-review-so-were-unboxing-it/ > It's a busy time in the Ars Technica GPU testing salt mines (not to be confused with the mining that GPUs used to be known for). After wrapping up our take on the Intel Arc A700 series, we went right back to testing a GPU that we've had for a few days now: the Nvidia RTX 4090. > This beast of a GPU, provided by Nvidia to Ars Technica for review purposes, is priced well out of the average consumer range, even for a product category where the average price keeps creeping upward. Though we're not allowed to disclose anything about our testing as of press time, our upcoming coverage will reflect this GPU's $1,599-and-up reality. In the meantime, we thought an unboxing of Nvidia's "founders edition" of the 4090 would begin telling the story of exactly who this GPU might not be for.
