Verdict
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.
NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A smart middle-ground option for Dell workstation buyers - most of the RTX 6000 Ada's VRAM capacity at a friendlier price, if you're already buying a Precision system.
