Nvidia has unveiled the GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards. The Geforce 40 series GPUs are based on the Ada Lovelace 3rd generation RTX architecture and come with DLSS 3 image upscaling technology. At the event, the company announced GeForce RTX 4090, GeForce RTX 4080 16GB VRAM variant, and the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB VRAM model. The 40 series also come with 4th generation Tensor cores, 8th generation Nvidia Encoder, and supports AV1 video encoding and decoding.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 includes 16384 CUDA cores and 24GB GDDR6X VRAM with 384-bit memory interface width. The card consumes up to 450W of power and recommends an 850W power supply unit. Further, it requires three PCIe 8-pin cables (adapter included in the box) or one 450W PCIe Gen 5 cable. According to Nvidia, the RTX 4090 GPUs can deliver twice the performance of the RTX 3090Ti in the latest titles and up to four times the performance boost in fully ray-traced titles.
In contrast, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 16GB GDDR6X VRAM variant includes 9728 Nvidia CUDA cores, while the 12GB GDDR6X VRAM comes with 7680 CUDA cores. The 16GB variant consumes up to 320W of power on full load, whereas the 12GB model consumes up to 285W. Nvidia recommends 750W PSU for the 16GB model and 700W PSU for the 12GB model. The company claims that the RTX 4080 series delivers twice the performance of the current RTX 3080 series GPUs.
Nvidia suggested price of the GeForce RTX 4090 is USD 1,599 (around Rs. 1,27,575) and will release on October 12, 2022. On the other hand, the Geforce RTX 4080 16GB variant suggested price is USD 1,199 (around Rs. 95,650), while the 12GB model price is USD 899 (around Rs. 71,725). The RTX 4080 series will release in November this year.
