I think the 4090 is memory limited. Ocing the core nets me about a 2-2.5% increase in performance, memory gets me 9-10%.This was really interesting, shows that the 4090, all 4090s, are essentially not thermally or current limited. The performance numbers between stock and OCd to 3GHz+ core yield some gains, but not a huge difference. This also explains why even on the quiet mode VBIOS switch on my trinity, that an 80-81 degrees core temp made no impact on the boost clock as it always stayed at 2700 or above.
Makes you wonder what Nvidia can do to a 4090 ti in terms of clocks, they'd have to add more shader units and stuff instead to make it a meaningful bump up from a 4090, or maybe they just won't bother with a 4090 ti and just beef up the 4080 to a Ti which would still fall quite a bit below a 4090, and allow the 4090 to stay at its price point.
