Nvidia’s Lovelace architecture 40-Series GPUs have been announced. The RTX 4090 graphics card is on sale from October 12th for $1,599, and the RTX 4080 is on sale in November for $899.

 

The RTX 4090 ships with 24GB of GDDR6X memory. Nvidia claims it’s 2–4x faster than the RTX 3090 Ti, using the same amount of power.

 

 Nvidia recommends a power supply of at least 850W based on a PC with a Ryzen 5900X processor. 

 

Inside the RTX 4090, there are 16,384 CUDA Cores, a base clock of 2.23GHz that boosts up to 2.52GHz, 1,321 Tensor-TFLOPs, 191 RT-TFLOPs, and 83 Shader-TFLOPs. RTX 4090 specs. RTX 4090 specs. 

 

The RTX 4080 comes in two models, one with 12GB of GDDR6X memory and another with 16GB of GDDR6X memory, and Nvidia claims it’s 2–4x faster than the existing RTX 3080 Ti.

 

 The 12GB model will start at $899 and include 7,680 CUDA Cores, 7,680 CUDA Cores, a 2.31GHz base clock that boosts up to 2.61GHz, 639 Tensor-TFLOPs, 92 RT-TFLOPs, and 40 Shader-TFLOPs. 

 

The 16GB model of the RTX 4080 costs $1,199 and has 9,728 CUDA Cores, a base clock of 2.21GHz that boosts up to 2.51GHz, 780 Tensor-TFLOPs, 113 RT-TFLOPs, and 49 Shader-TFLOPs of power. 

 

The 12GB RTX 4080 model will require a 700W power supply, with the 16GB model needing at least 750W.
