40series

Like clockwork, when Intel and Nvidia release new components, PC vendors update their existing designs. And right on cue, Alienware has announced its Aurora R15 desktop, taking advantage of the new 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs and GPUs up to Nvidia's RTX 40-series, as well as Radeon RX 6000 options. Perhaps more interesting than the spec update is that Alienware is making slight changes to its case to allow for better cooling — an improvement that is sorely needed.For years, the Alienware Aurora series has come with the…

Nvidia has finally announced the RTX 40 series, and three new RTX 40 cards will be available later this year: the flagship RTX 4090, the high-end RTX 4080 16GB, and the RTX 4080 12GB. Along with apparently massive performance improvements over last-generation RTX 30 series cards, these new GPUs come with high price tags. How much does the RTX 4090 cost? Nvidia The flagship RTX 4090 is launching with an MSRP of $1,599, which is $100 higher than the $1,499 MSRP of the RTX 3090 and $400 lower than the $1,999 MSRP of the…

Although Nvidia lowered recommended price of its flagship graphics card by $400 with the launch of the GeForce RTX 4090, it increased the prices of other high-end offerings significantly with its GeForce RTX 4080 models. It is self-evident in Europe that the new GeForce RTX 4080 16GB cost almost the same amount of money as the GeForce RTX 3090 24GB several months ago.Prices of graphics cards have been increasing gradually since the early 2000s, but in recent years prices of the best gaming graphics cards rose quite…

Nvidia's Ada architecture and GeForce RTX 40-series graphics cards are slated to begin arriving on October 12, starting with the GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 4080. That's two years after the Nvidia Ampere architecture and basically right on schedule given the slowing down (or if you prefer, death) of Moore's 'Law,' and it's good news as the best graphics cards are in need of some new competition.With the Nvidia hack earlier this year, we had a good amount of information on what to expect, and Nvidia has now confirmed most of…

Nvidia today announced three new graphics cards based on its next generation graphics architecture. Available starting next month, the prices for these will start at $899. At the top of the stack is the new RTX 4090. This massive new GPU features 16384 CUDA cores with boost clocks that go up to 2.52GHz. The card comes with 24GB of GDDR6X memory and 384-bit memory interface. Nvidia claims it is 2-4x faster than the RTX 3090 Ti. The RTX 4090 has a power rating of 450W and runs on a single 16-pin PCIe Gen 5 or 3x 8-pin…

Nvidia’s RTX 40-series are expected today. | Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Nvidia is getting ready to announce its next-generation GPUs today. We’re expecting to see the new RTX 40-series, and rumors suggest there could be two RTX 4080 models and an RTX 4090. Nvidia has been teasing its RTX 40-series launch for a number of days now, and even has a 40-hour countdown that includes references to Ada Lovelace. Lovelace is Nvidia’s rumored next-gen GPU architecture that we’re expecting to…

AMD's latest blog discusses the performance per watt gains (opens in new tab) across the past several Radeon GPU generations. AMD's Sam Naffziger, who spoke with us about RDNA 3's chiplet design and efficiency gains in June, says AMD made some ‘big bets’ on GPU design and efficiency, and they are now paying off in very meaningful ways. He asserts that current and future AMD GPUs are meeting the needs of demanding games but doing so without sky-high power budgets. This is a timely reminder, if you need it, that energy…

Nvidia has released a few new teasers on Twitter for its GeForce Beyond event in 5 days. The teasers show us a dual monitor GeForce-themed gaming setup, with what appears to be a phone number written down on a sticky note on one and an advanced mathematical equation on the second. In addition, the GeForce Beyond event will announce the long-awaited arrival of Nvidia's new Ada RTX 40-series GPUs.This latest teaser from Nvidia is the most detailed we have seen. It showcases a dual monitor gaming setup, color coordinated in…

A new roundup of Nvidia GeForce RTX 40-Series specifications reveals an interesting feature — a configurable TGP. According to the leak, Nvidia’s best graphics cards from the next generation will allow the user to trade in a higher power draw for better performance, and all of this will be adjusted based on your needs instead of locking the GPU to a certain TGP. There’s also one more surprise: A popular GPU seems to be missing from the lineup. The following is a summary for easy reading. NOT NEWS. -RTX 4090,…

New performance figures for the upcoming Nvidia GeForce “Ada Lovelace” RTX 40-series emerged, and this time around, they’re almost too good to be true. According to the latest leak, one of the RTX 40-series GPUs could be twice as powerful as the current-gen RTX 30. Can we trust these benchmarks? I cannot specify which SKU, but it is internal RTX40 graphs. pic.twitter.com/kx1uaBprtm — FCL (@QbitLeaks) September 7, 2022 Twitter leaker @QbitLeaks shared some interesting performance figures for an unnamed…
