Is The RTX 4090 Really Worth It? It’s a question I see a lot, so in this video, the next in our "Is It Worth It?" upgrade series, we are going to find out. Our "Is It Worth It?" series is focused on showing you just how much you can expect to increase the performance of your system with a drop-in upgrade. For this video our focus will be on Nvidia’s top gaming GPU, the RTX 4090, the current king of gaming GPU’s. In addition to showing you benchmarks across 16 games at 3 different resolutions, I am also going to demystify some key graphics features, such as Ray Tracing, DLSS and Reflex, and let you know if you should consider using them in games. If you stay to the end, I will also share with you some "secret" settings in Control Panel that every Nvidia GPU owner should use.

Remember, it's not rocket science, it's Lego … my goal is to help you make the right component choices and put them together the right way, every time.
