Verdict

NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000

6 / 10 Expert Rating

Legacy flagship whose sole remaining selling point is VRAM capacity; a used bargain for memory-bound pro work, a poor choice for anything compute-bound.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D

8.7 / 10 Expert Rating

A slightly cut-down RTX 4090 that's now been succeeded by the RTX 5090 D - still a very fast card for anyone who already owns one or finds one at a discount.
