The latest model of the NVIDIA Geforce series RTX4090will be released in October 2022.
In this article, we will guide you through the installation confirmation and OS operation verification information that we have carried out.
Compared to its predecessor, the RTX3090, the overall size has increased, and in particular, the thickness has increased by about 2cm, which may obscure adjacent slots.Also, considering that the weight of the RTX3090 was about 1.5kg, the weight of the RTX4090 is calculated to be about 40% higher. |

RTX4090Here's a photo of it installed:
There is not much space inside the housing, and it is a size that cannot be installed unless the lower fan cover is removed.
* The photo shows the state in which the fan cover at the bottom of the housing has been removed.
Also, with the stay attached to IW-PL052RTX4090It cannot be installed because it interferes with theRTX4090Considering its own weight,Appropriate stay must be arranged separately.
Incidentally,We create and use our own compatible staysso we haveRTX4090Supports physical stability in mounting the
Power
The simulation program included in the CUDA Toolkit "Nbody” to measure the power consumption for 100 minutes with 10% load on the GPU only.
■ Specifications of the PC used for verification
| Motherboard | Supermicro X12DAi-N6 |
| CPU | Intel Xeon Gold 6326 2.90GHz(TB 3.50GHz) 16C/32T × 2 |
| memory | Total 256GB DDR4 3200 REG ECC 16GB x 16 |
| storage | 1TB SSD S-ATA |
| optical drive | DVD super multi drive |
| Video card | NVIDIA T400 4GB MiniDisplayPort x3 |
| Housing + power supply | Tower IW-PL052 + 1000W |
| GPU | ASUS TUF-RTX4090-24G-GAMING |
■ Measured power consumption values
| RTX3090 | RTX4090 | |
| Average power consumption | 619.82w | 751.58w |
| 電力 消費 電力 | 640.7w | 759.1w |
| Minimum power consumption | 597.4w | 706.1w |
If the same verification content is also performed on the RTX3090,RTX4090 is 3-100W higher for each of the three valuesbecame a numerical value.By rough calculation,The RTX4090 consumes about 3090% more power than the RTX17That's what I can say.
Operation check on Linux OS
We also verified compatibility with Linux OS, which is often used for GPU calculations.
| Ubuntu 20.04 |

Installation via repository did not output the screen after startup. ~~~~~~~~*Added 2022/11/18~~~~~~~~ ■ Operation of CUDA Toolkit on Ubuntu 22.04 If you install the driver at the same time as installing the CUDA Toolkit, the GUI will become unusable after rebooting. ■Temperature information during Nbody operation The temperature information of the RTX4090 was monitored from nvidia-smi with the following command.

| CentOS Stream 8 |

A problem occurred during OS installation. Set the VGA Priority to "onboard" on the BIOS side, and disable nouveau by adding the string "nouveau.modeset=0" to the OS boot settings each time the OS is installed and started until the driver installation is completed. There is a need to. |
The above information is as of October 2022, when verification was conducted.
It is expected that the OS compatibility status will improve in the future, so please consider the information at the time of verification to the last.
Summary
RTX4090how was the verification information?
In proportion to the increase in demand for GPUs, the required specifications are getting higher and higher, and the power consumption and size are also increasing.
Although Geforce GPUs are intended for gaming applications, they have an excellent balance of cost performance even in GPU calculations, so it is thought that the needs for research and development applications will continue to increase.
We will continue to provide information on parts and new technologies related to research and development, so please look forward to it.
