Competitive Landscape
The RTX 4090 faces competition from AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 series GPUs, which offer comparable ray tracing performance at a lower price point. However, the RTX 4090 remains the top performer in this area, particularly for high-resolution and demanding games.
Value Proposition
While the RTX 4090 is the most powerful GPU available for ray tracing, its high cost may be prohibitive for some users. AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XT offers similar performance at a lower price, and NVIDIA’s own RTX 3080 Ti provides a more budget-friendly option with acceptable ray tracing capability.
Black Myth Wukong Performance
In the specific case of Black Myth Wukong, the RTX 4090 struggles to enable ray tracing at playable frame rates, even at lower resolutions. This is due to the game’s demanding graphical requirements, which exceed the capabilities of current-generation GPUs.
