The new RTX 40 series are here. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has now officially introduced RTX 4090, RTX 4080 16GB and RTX 4080 12GB models, the first SKUs from the next-generation of graphics series codenamed “Ada”.
The flagship NVIDIA RTX 40 GPU features 76 billion transistors and TSMC 4N process technology. New architecture introduces 3rd Gen RT core and 4th Gen Tensor Core. NVIDIA confirms Ada Lovelace supports DLSS 3 upscaling technology. For game streaming, NVIDIA RTX 40 GPUs have dual AV1 encoders supporting up to 8K 60 FPS recordings.
The new flagship features AD102-300 GPU with 16384 CUDA cores and boost clock up to 2520 MHz. This means a single-precision performance of 82.6 TFLOPS, 2.3x more than its predecessor RTX 3090. The flagship SKU based on Ada architecture will be equipped with 24GB of GDDR6X memory, with peak bandwidth at 1 TB/s. This new card will require even more power than 3090 Ti, by at least 100W, with default TDP of 450W.
NVIDIA confirms this model will launch on October 12 at 1599 USD. The Founders Edition pictured below is a triple-slot design powered by one 16-pin power connector.
