As we announced this morning, Nvidia revealed today in its long-awaited event, the new graphics cards that will dominate the market, the new RTX 4090 and the RTX 4080. The first will arrive before all the others, on October 12 at the recommended price of… $1599. The second will take a bit longer to be available, since it would be more for the month of November and with a much lower recommended price of $899.
For both, the new specs are scary, but specifically for the RTX 4090 we’re talking about Nvidia claims it will be between 2 and 4 times faster than the RTX 3090 Tisomething spectacular. For the RTX 4080 you have to take the same metric, but for the current RTX 3080 Ti, which does not leave it in bad shape, far from it. Here are the main features:
- RTX-4090
- 16384 CUDA cores
- 24 GB GDDR6X memory
- Frequency from 2.23Ghz up to 2.52Ghz
- 1321 Tensor-TFLOP
- 191 RT-TFLOP
- 83 Shader-TFLOP
- 2-4x faster than the RTX 3090 Ti
- Recommended price: $1,599
- RTX 4080 12GB
- 7680 CUDA cores
- 12 GB GDDR6X memory
- Frequency from 2.31Ghz up to 2.61Ghz
- 639 Tensor-TFLOP
- 92 RT-TFLOP
- 40 Shader-TFLOP
- 2-4x faster than the RTX 3080 Ti
- Recommended price: $899
- RTX 4080 16GB
- 9780 CUDA cores
- 16 GB of GDDR6X memory
- Frequency from 2.21Ghz up to 2.51Ghz
- 780 Tensor-TFLOP
- 113 RT-TFLOP
- 49 Shader-TFLOP
- 2-4x faster than the RTX 3080 Ti
- Recommended price: $1,199
The RTX 4090 will pioneer bringing the new DLSS 3
In addition to its features, both RTX 4000s will have the ability to capture gameplay through Nvidia ShadowPlay technology with quality up to 8K, 60fps and with HDR included. As we mentioned earlier this morning, a 10% increase in fan size has been confirmed for the Founder’s Edition, allowing stable clock rates and lower temperatures for more powerful memory and GPU. .
The other surprise is the announcement of the new AI image processing process, DLSS 3. Although previous versions performed so well that they were widely adopted by the most advanced titles on the market, this new DLSS 3, It will only be available for the new RTX 4000 series and will be specifically dedicated to improving performance with Ray Tracing enabled, even with a demo on Microsoft Flight Simulator where the frame rate was directly doubled with the use of DLSS 3.
Games like Cyberpunk 2077 or a new version of Portal subtitled RTX will have this new dedicated technology, which is currently being implemented for more than 35 games, some of which will arrive in October. For now, here is a small summary of the presentation event of the new Nvidia RTX 4090 and RTX 4080, which undoubtedly lived up to its promises. Soon they will be with us and available in stores. Will you be one of the first to get one?
