NVIDIA today announced the RTX 40 Series of GPUs, including the RTX 4080 and the RTX 4090 that are powered by the latest Ada Lovelace Architecture, which is built on a new 4nm process from TSMC and specifically optimized for GPUs, while carry a lot of improvements across its shader cores, RT cores, Tensor cores, and support for new features like DLSS 3 and AV1 encoder.
NVIDIA RTX 4090
The NVIDIA RTX 4090 features an AD102-300 GPU with 16384 CUDA cores and a base clock of 2.23 GHz along with a boost clock of 2.52 GHz, which means a single-precision performance gain of 82.6 TFLOPS or 2.3x more than its predecessor, the RTX 3090.
Furthermore, the RTX 4090 will be equipped with 24GB GDDR6X memory with a peak bandwidth at 1 TB/s and the graphic card will require more power than 3090Ti by at least 100W with a default TDP of 450W, while needing a single 16-pin PCIe Gen 5 or 3×8-pin PCIe cables.
The RTX 4090 will be available starting October 12 at $1,599.
NVIDIA RTX 4080
The company also announced two variants of the RTX 4080 having different amounts of memory and GPU specification. According to the details, the RTX 4080 16GB is to feature an AD103 GPU with 9728 CUDA cores, a total of 16GB of GDDR6X memory clocked at 22.5 Gbps and TDP of 320W.
Meanwhile, the RTX 4080 12GB has AD104 GPU and 7680 CUDA cores with a boost clock of 2.61GHz and a TDP of 285W.
The RTX 4080 16GB and 12GB are priced at $1,199 and $899 , respectively and they will be available in November.
