Nvidia announced its latest lineup of GPUs with the RTX 40 series. The first cards out will be the RTX 4090, the company’s most powerful consumer GPU, and the RTX 4080 in 16 GB and 12 GB editions.
Nvidia has revealed three new RTX 40-series graphics cards, the newest generation of its popular line of GeForce GPUs, during the company’s GTC 22 event on Tuesday. The first cards from the line to be revealed are the RTX 4090, the most powerful card in the line, followed by two versions of the RTX 4080 — a 16 GB version and a cheaper 12 GB version.
The first card that Nvidia revealed was its new RTX 4090, the most powerful consumer card the company has produced, and its standout card from the RTX 40-series line. Nvidia is promising two times the performance of last generation’s best card, the RTX 3090 Ti, in games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Microsoft Flight Simulator. The card features 16,384 CUDA cores and 24 GB of memory. Of course, a card this powerful needs a lot of power in return, which is why the RTX 4090 will require three 8-pin power adapters with an optional fourth for overclocking.
