PNY builds NVIDIA GeForce cards, including compact and XLR8 models. Every pick is a PNY card, ordered by VRAM.
We ranked these graphics cards on GPU, VRAM and memory using manufacturer specifications; where a maker leaves out boost clock, we say so rather than guess, since we have not benched them.

Largest Video Memory1 of 5
PNY GeForce RTX 4090 Verto Triple Fan
PNY's Verto runs the RTX 4090 at NVIDIA's reference 2520MHz boost with up to 1,008GB/s of memory bandwidth.
Best for
- Buyers who put video memory first.
Skip if
- Price-first buyers should look at the PNY 4060 Ti 16GB Verto, which cost less when we checked.
Why we like it
It cost the least of the RTX 4090 cards here at the time of writing. The 24GB of GDDR6X sits on a 384-bit bus with 1008GB/s of bandwidth, and the card runs a 2520MHz boost clock on a triple-fan cooler. Nothing else here matches its 24GB video memory; the PNY 4060 Ti 16GB Verto comes closest at 16GB.
You get an RTX 4090 gpu here, which sets it apart from the PNY 5080 Epic-X and its an RTX 5080 gpu. Like the PNY 4070 Ti Super XLR8, it has GDDR6X memory, while the PNY 5080 OC uses GDDR7 memory. It is the only pick here with a 2520MHz boost clock; the PNY 4060 Ti 16GB Verto has a 2535MHz boost clock instead.
No dimensions are published for the PNY 4090 Verto; get length and thickness from the maker's page first. At our last price check it topped the group, with the PNY 5080 Epic-X the nearest cheaper option.

How We Chose These Pny Graphics Cards
Alex Morgan compared the manufacturer specifications, connectivity, warranty terms and compatibility of every pick. Figures come from the makers unless a third-party source is named; we did not test these products ourselves.
- How these picks were ranked
- We set side by side five cards on GPU, video memory, memory and boost clock, using each maker's published specs. We did not test them in-house, and boost clock is missing for at least one pick.
- What every pick has in common
- All 5, from the PNY 4090 Verto to the PNY 5080 Epic-X, state GPU, video memory and memory.
- Where the specs have gaps
- The PNY 5080 OC and the PNY 5080 Epic-X give no boost clock.
- Price range
- At our last check the picks ran from the PNY 4060 Ti 16GB Verto ($500 to $1000) to the PNY 4090 Verto (over $1500).
