The translated word from Chiphell’s panzerlied:
NVIDIA said of the 4090 when it launched in 2022:
Today’s games see their performance increase by up to 2X compared to the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, and up to 4X in next-gen titles with full ray tracing! These previously impossible levels of performance give you the power to play fully ray-traced games such as Portal with RTX, NVIDIA Racer RTX, and Cyberpunk 2077 with the Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode upgrade.
