The GeForce RTX 4090 Max-Q is a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on January 3rd, 2023. Built on the 5 nm process, and based on the AD103 graphics processor, in its GN21-X11 variant, the chip supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce RTX 4090 Max-Q. Additionally, the DirectX 12 Ultimate capability guarantees support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading and more, in upcoming video games. The AD103 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 379 mm² and 45,900 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, which uses the same GPU but has all 10240 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce RTX 4090 Max-Q to reach the product's target shader count. It features 9728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs. Also included are 304 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 76 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 16 GB GDDR6 memory with the GeForce RTX 4090 Max-Q, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 930 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1455 MHz, memory is running at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective).
Its power draw is rated at 80 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. Rather it is intended for use in laptop/notebooks and will use the output of the host mobile device. GeForce RTX 4090 Max-Q is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 interface.
