The launch of the GeForce RTX 4090 would be scheduled for the end of this year, and as our regular readers will remember, this graphics card will become the most powerful of NVIDIA for the general consumer market. In addition to gross power, we also expect a significant jump in power per watt consumed and a significant improvement in ray tracing work. As expected, this increase in performance will be accompanied by an increase in price and, according to the latest information coming from China, GeForce RTX 4090 it will cost $ 1,899 $ 400 more than the GeForce RTX 3090 at launch.

The GeForce RTX 4090 and the entire GeForce RTX 40 line will use the Ada Lovelace architecture, which will lead to major changes at the silicon level, with all models making the leap to 5nm node from TSMC, one of the most advanced in the industry. To all of the above, we must also add that we will use this new generation of powerful graphics cards 3rd generation RT cores and 4th generation core tensor.

Thanks to the changes that the GeForce RTX 4090 will bring to the architecture level, it is rumored that it will be able to twice the performance of the GeForce RTX 3090and it it will be able to triple when watching the rays performance of it. Personally, I think these are very good values, but at the same time I urge you to take them with a grain of salt, because nothing is confirmed, and such a big generation leap in games, taking into account optimization problems and bottlenecks, see At the CPU level in many intergenerational development is something that raises many doubts in me.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m just saying that real gaming performance is one thing, brute force another. For example, GeForce RTX 3090 is rated at 35.58 TFLOPs at FP32, more than double the RTX 2080 Ti, which remains at 13.45 TFLOPs. However, in games, the first is only 57% more powerful in 4K on average.

Possible specifications of GeForce RTX 4090

• GPU AD102 at 5nm.
• 18,432 shaders.
• 576 texturing units.
• 576 tensor cores.
• 144 RT cores.
• 128 raster units.
• 384-bit bus.
• 24 GB GDDR6X graphics memory
• TGP 500-600 watts.

If the price of $ 1,899 is confirmed and the availability and demand for this graphics card remain at normal levels, it is very likely that in the end it will fall below 2,000 euros in Spain. Its performance is scheduled for the third and fourth quarters of this year, and I think the GeForce RTX 4090 It will be accompanied by GeForce RTX 4080 and GeForce RTX 4070which will leave us a renewal identical to that which occurred at the time with the arrival of Ampere.

We do not yet know the prices of the rest of the graphics cards that will make up the GeForce RTX 40 series, but it seems that in general there will be a relatively small price increase compared to the launch price of GeForce RTX 30. This would mean that, depending on each specific model, the price of the GeForce RTX 40 would be $ 400-50 higher than current-generation models. So, for example, the GeForce RTX 4090 would cost $ 400 more than the GeForce RTX 3090, while the GeForce RTX 4080 could cost $ 300 more than the GeForce RTX 3080 and the GeForce RTX 4070 could be $ 200 more expensive than the GeForce RTX.3
