GPU

GeForce RTX 4070 Founders Edition renders have leaked online, not long after NVIDIA cancelled the RTX 4080 12 GB. Sporting a design reminiscent of the RTX 3070 Ti, the RTX 4070 is thought to feature lesser specifications than the vanquished RTX 4080 12 GB.

While many retailers are facing GeForce RTX 4090 stock problems, quite a few RTX 3000-series video cards are available for generous discounts. This weekend's highlight is the discount offered by Amazon for the ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Trinity OC 24GB, which is down to US$999.99 from a list price of no less than US$2,399.99.

A new leak says that Nvidia plans to bring the GeForce RTX 4090 to laptops. It will use an AD103 GPU and have a TGP of around 175 Watts. The GeForce RTX 4080 Ti is also expected to come with identical specs, although it'll probably use a cut-down version of the AD103.

Wccftech has learned from its sources that the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT will launch with 20 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. AMD plans to launch an RX 7950 XT later with 24 GB of video memory.

After months of leaks and rumors, AMD RX 7000 GPUs based on the RDNA 3 architecture are less than two weeks away. The company previously revealed the launch event date for the upcoming RDNA 3 boards. Now, in a press release, Team Red has confirmed the time at which the “together we advance_gaming” event is set to take place.

Team Green seemingly produced quite a few of the bulky quad-slot coolers, as one picture suggests. Good thing these will most likely not be commercialized, since the Titan lineup is said to be dead.

Besides revealing the advantages of the Intel Arc A770, the AV1 8K decoding test performed through the CapFrameX tool also exposes some unexpected optimization problems with the Nvidia RTX 4090, as well as some perplexingly low scores coming from AMD's RX 6800 XT card.

Greymon55 says that some Navi 31 test boards are already in the hands of AIBs. The GPU is reportedly 2X faster than its predecessor in rasterization and raytracing. AMD will unveil its next generation of graphics cards on November 3.

We have been hearing rumors about an RTX Titan based on the Ada Lovelace architecture for a while now. But, if recent leaks are to be trusted, Nvidia might have shelved the card. Famed leaker kopite7kimi has now revealed that Team Green has indeed scrapped the RTX Titan Ada.

Based on launch reviews, the RTX 4090 is an extremely high-performance GPU. Tech publication 3DCenter has now gathered review results from a variety of outlets to see how much better, on average, the RTX 4090 is compared to the previous gen. It turns out, the board leads the charts when it comes to efficiency.

In an unprecedented move, Nvidia has announced that the GeForce RTX 4080 12 GB graphics card has been "unlaunched". The company has also confirmed that the GeForce RTX 4080 16 GB will be purchasable starting on November 16.

DirectStorage 1.0 did not seem to improve load times in a meaningful way, but the 1.1 version is introducing GPU decompression that completely relieves the CPU of any game asset decompression tasks and speeds up game load times by an additional 3x.

Nvidia released the RTX 4090 on September 20. Aside from the absurdly high price, the GPU has gotten stellar reviews across the board. Not only does the card produce incredible fps numbers at 4K, but it can also do 8K/60 fps in some titles as shown recently by The Tech Chap on YouTube.

The limited stock issues associated with flagship GPU launches could become a thing of the past with Nvidia's new "Verified Priority Access" program that offers GeForce Experience users a chance to order an RTX 4090 Founder Edition without worrying about retailer stocks.

8K displays are barely a thing right now, and 16K is clearly far away, but there is no doubt that the DisplayPort 1.4 standard is not enough for full chroma resolution, especially on ultra-wide monitors. While Nvidia seems reluctant to make the jump to DP 2.0, AMD is now rumored to introduce unannounced DP 2.1 connectors on the upcoming Radeon RX 7000 series.

Bilibili leaker Enthusiast Citizen states that the AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards will go on sale in December. AMD will launch only two flagship SKUs at its November 3 event, neither of which can outperform the GeForce RTX 4090 in rasterization or raytracing.

If you thought RTX 4090 was too overpowered, wait until Nvidia launches the 4090 Ti models with the best binned AD102 dies. These beasts would get even more CUDA cores, up to 2.95 GHz boost core clock out of the box, 24 Gbps GDDR6X VRAM and 475 W TGP. Could probably cost an arm and a leg, too.

As the price of many gaming-focused graphics cards continue to fall, a well-known retailer has now discounted the well-performing Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and offers the enthusiast-grade desktop GPU for 1440p and 4K gaming for well under US$600.

Reportedly, NVIDIA was developing an even more powerful version of the GeForce RTX 4090. Billed as the Titan Ada or the RTX 4090 Ti, the graphics card is thought to be a whopping four slots thick and requires twin 16-pin power connectors. Supposedly, NVIDIA has ceased development though, with multiple reasons spelling the end of the Titan Ada for now.

According to reports, NVIDIA is preparing the RTX 4070, an AD104-based graphics card with 10 GB or 12 GB of GDDR6X VRAM. Sporting Ada Lovelace's subtle redesigns, the RTX 4070 Founders Edition is alleged to resemble a shorter RTX 3080 Founders Edition card.

While the RTX 40 series cards are still under embargo resulting in a distinct lack of third-party tests, we have been getting nuggets of information about their estimated performance. This time, Nvidia has released frame rate numbers for the RTX 4090 and the RTX 4080 SKUs alongside some RTX 30 GPUs. The results, if accurate, are quite stunning.

A new leak from Bilibili shows the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 boosting to 3.0 GHz in MSI Kombuster. The graphics card in question used some kind of water cooling loop/AIO cooler and drew up to 616 Watts in a separate benchmark.

A Chiphell poster has supposedly reviewed the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 16 GB graphics card in 3D Mark, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Red Dead Redemption 2. The results highlight a remarkable performance uplift over its Ampere-based predecessor.

The RTX 4090 is Nvidia’s next-generation flagship GPU. The card is set to appear on store shelves starting October 12 at an MSRP of US$1,599. For that price, Nvidia promises up to 4x better performance than the RTX 3090 Ti. A set of valid Geekbench 5 entries for the RTX 4090 have now surfaced, giving us a good look at the Lovelace board’s performance in synthetic workloads.

With less than two weeks until their release, Intel's Arc A770 and A750 video cards are back on Geekbench. The new benchmark results show both cards close to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, and the A770 is even faster in the OpenCL benchmark by over 3 percent. Taking pricing into account, this spells trouble for AMD and NVIDIA.

Intel has announced that the Arc A770 desktop graphics card will be available to purchase on October 12 for US$329, presumably for the entry-level variant with 8 GB of VRAM. Its sibling with 16 GB of memory may cost a bit more.

RMP is developed by 1usmus, the creator of the Clock Tuner for Ryzen and more recently the upgraded Hydra OC tool. Through a unique combination of GDDR undervolting and core overclocking, RMP promises consistent performance gains that would see an RX 6800 XT match Nvidia's RTX 3090 Ti, but a hefty non-reference cooling solution is also needed.

Nvidia and CD Projekt Red have teamed up to celebrate Cyberpunk 2077's resurgence. Players will have to find three in-game locations on three different days, take a screenshot, and submit it via Twitter. Three winners get a custom GeForce RTX 4090 with a limited-edition backplate.

The generous discounts come in preparation for the next gen RDNA 3 launch and are most likely influenced by the ETH PoS transition, as well. AMD touts the superior performance per Watt of the RDNA 2 cards over Nvidia's RTX 3000 solutions.

Nvidia claimed the AD102-based GeForce RTX 4090 is up to 4 times faster than the RTX 3090 Ti during its GDC presentation. Digital Foundry has now put the ADA Lovelace frontrunner to test and the results line up nicely with Team Green's estimates. The new GPU outpaces the RTX 3090 Ti by a wide margin, especially with DLSS 3 enabled.

NVIDIA has introduced another RTX A6000, dubbed the RTX A6000 Ada Generation. As its name suggests, the new RTX A6000 relies on the Ada Lovelace architecture, likely the AD102 GPU. Equipped with over 18,000 CUDA cores and 567 Tensor cores, the RTX A6000 Ada Generation will be available later this year with a massive 48 GB of VRAM.

Although DLSS 3 will be exclusive to the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4000 series, it might become compatible with the RTX 2000 and 3000 series in the future. However, if this happens, those older cards won't get the same benefits as the RTX 4000 (or later) when running DLSS 3-enabled games.

With Nvidia releasing the RTX 40 series GPUs and AMD announcing that it will unveil the RX 7000 boards in November, the competition in the enthusiast graphics space is heating up. Hardware leaker Tom from the Moore’s Law is Dead YouTube channel has now revealed some interesting details about the upcoming AMD RDNA 3 GPUs while also giving his opinion about the prices of the RTX 40 boards.

PC builders might have a difficult time slotting an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 into their rigs. A video on Nvidia's YouTube channel shows the card's size relative to an average motherboard and confirms that it is every bit as massive as predicted by leaks.

RTX Remix has been unveiled as a new modding platform that has just been added to NVIDIA's suite of resource for developers, and can make games fully compatible with the new RTX 4080 and 4090 cards - even Portal. Valve's classic title will celebrate its upcoming anniversary through release in a new downloadable "RTX On" form in sync with the new GPUs.

Nvidia has finally lifted the covers off the GeForce RTX 4090. It is up to 4x faster than Ampere's best, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. One can buy it on October 12 for US$1,599.

NVIDIA has presented the RTX 4080 series in 12 GB and 16 GB flavours. Equipped with different GPUs, the RTX 4080 12 GB and RTX 4080 16 GB are two of three Ada Lovelace graphics cards presented so far, with the other being the RTX 4090.

AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards will be announced on November 3. The RDNA 3-based Navi 31 and Navi 32 GPUs are slated to use a chiplet-based design, while Navi 33 will be based on a monolithic die.

The RTX 40 series is almost upon us, ahead of which VideoCardz has leaked an image of the RTX 4090 Founders Edition. Confirming minor design changes from its RTX 30 series predecessors, the RTX 4090 Founders Edition should launch later today with two versions of the RTX 4080.

Twitter leaker @9550Pro has some new information about AMD's RDNA 3 graphics cards. At least one high-end model can reportedly operate at 4.0 GHz, making it the world's first-ever GPU to do so.

The American GPU maker refers to disrespectful behavior from Nvidia's side as the reason for its decision to abandon the graphics card market entirely just weeks before the highly anticipated reveal and eventual release of the GeForce RTX 4000 series.

NVIDIA is dropping hints about what it will unveil at its #ProjectBeyond showcase. Based on a few teasers, it seems that NVIDIA is keen to tell its fans about its Lovelace architecture, as well as its flagship AD102 GPU.

Intel Fellow Tom Petersen revealed in a HotHardware Q&A session that the Arc A770 flagship desktop GPU can be overclocked from 2.1 to 2.7 GHz on air with relative ease, and AIB partner custom models could get an even higher OC potential. The more powerful spec only required 3 more W over the default 225 W TBP.

With the recently completed Ethereum PoS merge, the coin would effectively become unmineable via GPUs some time in 2023. However, an immediate GPU dump is unlikely, as new PoW alternatives including Ethereum Classic or the newly-created EthereumPOW hard fork still see considerable support from certain large GPU mining players.

Nvidia has teased the date and time for its Project Beyond event. It will be live streamed on September 20 at 08:00 PDT. One can expect to see the new GeForce RTX 4000 series of graphics cards, a new version of DLSS, and some GeForce Now related news.

Noctua has partnered with MiTo to produce a keycap set intended to match perfectly with the Austrian OEM's most iconic fans and coolers in their signature livery. It is compatible with Cherry MX and MX-alike switches and made of double-shot ABS in MiTo's MT3 shape. It is available to order through Drop from now.

Industry insider Kopite7kimi has confirmed key specs of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080. It will be offered in 12 GB and 16 GB flavours and feature varying CUDA core counts, memory modules and GPUs.

While we have had a lot of leaks dissecting the hardware specifications and the performance of the RTX 40 series GPUs, the information regarding the price of the upcoming Nvidia Lovelace boards is scarce. We now have our first look at the alleged pre-order prices for the RTX 4090 being charged by a Vietnamese retailer.

The Arc A380 beats Nvidia's GTX 1650 in 3DMark tests, and provides good video encoding / decoding capabilities, but does not seem to be specifically designed for gaming, as it is slower in titles such as Final Fantasy XIV.

Industry insiders close to DigiTimes report that the first multi-GPU solutions using silicon photonics technology could be available in a few years. The interconnected GPUs would benefit from low-latency data transmissions and significantly reduced signal loss.
