Prepare your system for the GeForce RTX® 4090 Founders Edition

Graphics card specifications vary by add-in-card manufacturer. Please refer to manufacturer specifications for add-in-card models.

The following steps require some knowledge of PC component specifications, in addition to physical installation.

1. Check your power supply

850W Minimum

A higher power rating may be required depending on your system configuration.

Please check with your PSU vendor.

Power Compatibility Option 1.

3x PCIe 8-pin cables from power supply to included RTX 4090 Power Connector Adapter. Graphics card supports 3x or 4x PCIe 8-pin cables.

Power Compatibility Option 2.

1x 450W or greater PCIe Gen 5 power cable from power supply

2. Check your case

Three unused expansion slots.

Reserving clearance around the graphics card equivalent to an unused expansion slot will typically improve airflow.

Clearance: Must have space for 12" (304mm) x 5.4" (137mm) x 3-slot card (61mm). Plan 1.4” (36mm) additional space for power cables.
