The Nvidia RTX 4090 GPU is about to interrupt the gaming PC efficiency ceiling, however new leaks recommend the cardboard will pack more cores than beforehand anticipated. The hearsay mill additionally offers up to date specs from the remaining of the RTX 4000 sequence vary, laced with a caveat that could imply paying more for a next-gen graphics card.
According to dependable {hardware} leaker Kopite7kimi, the RTX 4090 will function 16,384 CUDA cores – a 266 improve in comparison with earlier insider data. The GPU continues to be set to wield 24GB GDDR6X VRAM and a 384-bit reminiscence bus, and its TDP is probably 450W.
As for the RTX 4080, the middle-weight contender ought to nonetheless arrive with 10,240 cores, a 265-bit bus, and 18GB VRAM, however the latter may be GDDR6. The RTX 4070 additionally reportedly comes with 10GB VRAM, which contradicts earlier claims that it’d function 12GB. As a consequence, it’ll doubtless present up with a narrower 160-bit bus, matched with a barely lowered 7,168 core depend.
While GPU costs are falling, Kopite7kimi says to not anticipate a decrease RTX 4000 MSRP. This doesn’t essentially imply you’ll pay more for a next-gen card, however lowered RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 specs in all probability gained’t translate into a lower cost level.
Some updates.
RTX 4090, AD102-300, 16384FP32, 384bit 21Gbps 24G GDDR6X,
RTX 4080, AD103-300, 10240FP32, 256bit (?18Gbps 16G GDDR6?),
RTX 4070, AD104-275, 7168FP32, 160bit 18Gbps GDDR6 10G.
And DO NOT anticipate a decrease MSRP.— kopite7kimi (@kopite7kimi) June 23, 2022
As all the time, it’s greatest to take any RTX 4000 leaks and rumours with a grain of salt, as Nvidia hasn’t formally introduced its GPU lineup. That mentioned, these whispers assist paint a next-gen efficiency image, one thing that could assist put together you for the long run of PC gaming.
