Today is the day of the announcement of the 40-series graphics cards from Nvidia. The RTX 4090 and 4080 are now official after months of rumors. The price of the RTX 4090 is $1,599 and the price of the RTX 4080 is $899. The two are powered by the same architecture.
The top card for the generation is the RTX 4090 It will come with a huge amount of memory. The card will consume the same amount of power as the previous generation card. The recommended power supply is 850 watt for a PC with a Ryzen 5900X processor.
There are 16,384 CUDA Cores, a base clock of 2.23 GHz that can be boosted up to 2.52 GHz, 1,321 Tensor-TFLOPs, and 191RT-TFLOPs.

There are two versions of the RTX 4080, one with 12 gigabytes of GDDR6X memory and the other with 16 gigabytes of GDDR6X memory, both of which are claimed to be 2 to 4 times faster than the existing RTX 3080 Ti. The base clock on the 12GB model will be 2.31 GHz and will boost to 2.61 GHz.
The 16 gigabyte model of the RTX 4080 isn't just a boost to memory. It has 9,728 CUDA Cores, a base clock of 2.21 GHz, and is capable of running at 2.51 GHz. The 12 and 16 gigabyte models need at least 750 and 700 watt power supplies. The models will be launched in November.
New support for ShadowPlay will be included in all three of these cards. There is improved efficiency for livestreams using AV1 with the latest Encoders from Nvidia.
The new RTX launch wouldn't be possible without the company's own cards. The in-house design of the graphics cards will be offered by the company. The design has been upgraded once again.
Andrew Burnes, technical marketer at Nvidia, says that the company has further improved the dual axial flow through system, increased fan sizes and fin volume, and upgraded to a 23-phase power supply for the new GeForce RTX 40 Series Founders Edition graphics cards. The new, substantially more powerful Ada graphics cards are kept cool in ventilated cases, which gives the gaming community excellent overclocking headroom.
The custom solution it created for its own RTX 30 series of graphics cards is not supported. There is a single cable that will power a 40-series card, or you can use an accessory that comes with the box. It's possible to connect a fourth one for more headroom.
October will see the arrival of ATX 3.0 power supplies from a number of companies. More models from other manufacturers are on the way.
Both the RTX 4080 and the RTX 3090 are powered by the third generation of RTX. It is designed to improve ray tracing and support deep learning.
The Racer RTX demo is a simulation of an off-road kart racing game. The Racer RTX demo was powered by a single piece of technology.
Third-GenerationRT cores are designed to improve ray tracing. Part of the improvements are due to a new artificial intelligence that is able to figure out how game scenes are changing. The Microsoft Flight Simulator frame rates were more than doubled. The new frame generation should make it possible to boost frame rates even when a game is not running as smoothly as it could.
The first games will be available in October. In the coming months, we will need to put all of the claims of the company to the test.
The launch of the 40-series cards is a challenge for the market as a whole. Due to the crash of thecryptocurrencies and the switch to proof of stake, the prevalence ofGPU-based mining has fallen. The company's gaming revenue fell by $1 billion.
The first-party Founders Edition graphics cards will be the focus of the launch, but there will be more than one graphics card to choose from. The third-party models may have different coolers and configurations. EVGA recently announced it would no longer be making graphics cards, citing poor behavior from the chip maker, so don't expect to see the 40 series from them.
Although its successor is official, previous RTX 30-series graphics cards are likely to be available for a while. It was forced to adjust retail pricing due to excess inventory after it admitted it built too many graphics cards. The appearance of the 30-series cards at the MSRP is a welcome sight for cash- strapped PC users.
