Question Can my current system handle a 4090?

[Barry1983]

Hello good people, I was wondering if my current system will be able to handle the new 4090 GPU which is due out in October 12th and also wondering if my current system would be able to fully utilize the new GPU. Thank you in advance for any answers provided.

Current Specs are as follow

i9 10920X
Asus Rog Rampage Extreme Encore Motherboard
64GB DDR4 Ram @ 3600mhz Corsair Dominator Platinum
PSU Corsair RX 850 Gold Rated Full Modular
GPU EVGA FTW3 Ultra 2080ti.

Gaming system?

This GPU?

TDP is 450 watts, Suggested PSU is 850 watts.

May or may not be pushing the limits of your current specs. Especially at times of peak power demands.

Overall, unless there is some very compelling requirement for have a 4090 GPU, I recommend waiting until it is actually out and has been out for a few months.

How much you expect that a 4090 will improve system performance? Will that improvement even be noticeable?

Just my thoughts on the matter.

Thanks for the reply, well I started to have issues with my 2080ti every now and again it seems to be causing the system to reset itself and getting hot and there is more than adequate cooling for it as well I am sure it is on the way out. And yes that GPU I am looking at. Another question though is will the fact that my board is PCI-E3 kill the performance of the card since it is recommended to have PCIe-4 motherboard.

I would expect so.

The performance may not be "killed" per se but the performance may not be what it could be.

Performance can be affected by other things. AKA the performance can only be as fast as the slowest performing component in the path.

Just FYI:

https://www.kingston.com/en/blog/pc...ext=PCIe Gen 4 doubles the,GB/s per PCIe lane.

I noted quite a number of similar links using search criteria = "pcie 4 vs 3".
