Team Green also announced the RTX 4080 starts at $899, though we don't know a release date.

Still, Nvidia’s RTX 4080 is also here if $1,599 seems too costly, and Huang said the company will continue to support its RTX 3000 line as well. Taken together with the RTX 4090's hardware, Nvidia promises its new card will be 2x faster at non ray-tracing tasks and 4 time faster at ray-tracing ones. Huang demonstrated how it works with The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, a game from 2002, and while we don’t know much about what kind of power it will need in addition to an RTX 4000 series GPU, it’s going to be available for modders everywhere. With blanket promises that the card is 2-4 times faster than the RTX 3090 Ti, which is an upgraded version of the 3090, Huang showed 4K framerates above 100 fps on both Cyberpunk 2077 and Microsoft Flight Sim, both with ray-tracing on. Which is good, because the RTX 4090 looks like a significant improvement over the RTX 3090, and especially over any GTX 1000 or RTX 2000 series GPUs you might still be rocking. To support that dream, the company also announced DLSS 3.0 upgraded tech that supplies more frames with less work, plus SER, a new RTX graphics engine that promises to drastically increase ray tracing performance.

During Nvidia's GTC keynote, CEO Jensen Huang officially announced the RTX 4000 series of desktop graphics cards.

During the presentation, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang went into extensive detail about the RTX 40's new graphical architecture.

Nvidia has announced the most powerful new GPUs ever made: the RTX 4090 and 4080? But under the surface, there are some serious problems.

[RTX 4090](https://www.digitaltrends.com/news/nvidia-geforce-beyond-live-coverage-rtx-4090/) comes in at $1,599, the RTX 4080 16GB is $1,199, and the RTX 4080 12GB is $899. [announcing its decision to pull out of the GPU market](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/evga-done-making-gpus-nvidias-fault/) entirely, citing Nvidia’s poor practices as the reason why. That means the RTX 4080 16GB actually matches the RTX 3080 Ti in price. It’s a significant step down in terms of specs, feeling more like where the RTX 4070 should be in the lineup. You’d think all this would put Nvidia in a tough spot, but the company knows exactly what it’s doing. The If you compare the RTX 4090 to last-gen’s RTX 3090, you’re seeing a $100 uptick in price. The two RTX 4080 models are where things get hairy. RTX 4080 16GB The problem? These three new GPUs were the crown jewels of [Nvidia’s nearly two-hour keynote](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-gtc-2022-everything-announced/). Then again, the RTX 3090 Ti had it beat just earlier this year, with its retail price of $1,999.

NVIDIA Unveils RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 Graphics Cards: The RTX 4090 launches next month for $1599 USD.

The RTX 4080 16GB should double the power of the RTX 3080 Ti while the RTX 4080 12 GB is comparable to the RTX 3090. Fortunately for consumers, [prices have since stabilized](https://hypebeast.com/2022/7/gpu-price-drop-cryptocurrency-mining-slow-down-news) and NVIDIA is expanding its offerings with the introduction of its 40 Series, beginning with the [RTX 4090](https://hypebeast.com/tags/nvidia-rtx-4090) and [RTX 4080](https://hypebeast.com/tags/nvidia-rtx-4080). [NVIDIA](https://hypebeast.com/tags/nvidia) and its graphics cards continue to push the world of technology forward with power that is climbing exponentially.

Take a look at why Nvidia dubbed the RTX 4090 as “Beyond fast” and then let's see what the next gen GeForce GPUs have to offer.

- PERISH - Marauders With RTX Remix, DirectX 8 or DirectX 9 games like Morrowind can be brought up to modern standards. And all features are supported by our extensively-tested Game Ready and NVIDIA Studio drivers,” says Nvidia in the announcement. Instead of using the machine learning used by DLSS so far, which generated new pixels to help upscale older games, with DLSS 3 NVIDIA generates entirely new frames to improve image quality. Still, if you look at the promised performance, that price tag looks a bit nicer.

The wait is over. The rumour mill can stop spinning, however briefly, and we can pore over the details Nvidia has released for its new top card.

In the meantime, Nvidia has released some figures, just to show how its latest architecture compares with its previous best Ampere offering, the RTX 3090 Ti. In Microsoft Flight Simulator and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide you're looking at a respectable doubling of the frame rate. It's worth noting that both the RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti weren't really aimed at gamers, but more at the semi-professional crowd. Top of the pile is the GeForce RTX 4090, which will be the first card to be released. It's the most expensive offering of those announced so far, but it also packs a mighty punch when it comes, if Nvidia's own benchmarks are to be believed. The rumour mill can stop spinning, however briefly, and we can pore over the details Nvidia has released for its new top card.

After two years, Nvidia has finally announced a successor to the RTX 30 series. Let's take a closer look at how the first three RTX 40 series GPUs stack up ...

[the only graphical architecture to support the new third generation of DLSS](/articles/nvidias-third-generation-of-dlss-is-exclusive-to-rtx-40-gpus). The RTX 40-series meanwhile is built on the new [Ada Lovelace architecture](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/ada-lovelace-architecture/), which uses TSMC’s 4nm N4 technology. The Ada Lovelace architecture, named after the mathematician and writer, is the third generation of RTX, using fourth-gen Tensor cores and third-gen RT cores. Nvidia claims that the RTX 4080 variants will provide two to four times the performance of the RTX 3080 Ti. As the infographic above notes, many changes are coming from the RTX 30-series to the RTX 40-series. Using the new Ada Lovelace graphical architecture, the RTX 40-series will serve as a successor to the RTX 30-series, which debuted back in 2020.

Here's a reminder that NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU, the flagship SKU from the new “Ada” series has official MSRP in Europe at 1949 EUR. NVIDIA no longer price matches ...

Ada (TSMC 4N) GeForce RTX 4080 16GB NVIDIA is now adding sales tax (VAT) to European prices, which means around 20% higher compared to US MSRP.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards appear at a Spanish retailer for over $2000.

Not only did Nvidia increase the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080's MSRP by several hundred dollars - depending on the model. Coolmod showcased five models, featuring a selection of Zotac and Galax RTX 4090 graphics cards. For consumers in these highly taxed environments, Nvidia's MSRP of $1,599 takes on a whole new meaning and becomes a severe problem. In the case of Coolmod's listings, prices are 25% higher than MSRP due to other concerns. Price Converted to USD Please take the listings with a grain of salt, as they could be placeholders.

AMD Radeon RX 6900 graphics card hovers over an AMD red and black background. We don't have concrete performance data on RX 7000 GPUs yet — AMD is set to reveal ...

[RX 6800 XT is around 5% behind](https://www.techspot.com/review/2427-geforce-rtx-3080-vs-radeon-6800-xt/) the RTX 3080, and most games don’t see much of a difference at all. [RX 6950 XT](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-radeon-rx-6950-xt-review/) show that AMD is able to compete at the top levels of GPU performance while still undercutting Nvidia on price. And as the next generation of graphics cards starts to roll out, Nvidia doesn’t look like it’s on the winning end. Assuming AMD keeps the pricing the same, it would have to release a worse GPU than its previous generation to lose out to Nvidia. [announcement of the RTX 4090](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-rtx-4090-rtx-4080-launch-geforce-beyond/): the RTX 3080 isn’t going anywhere. If the RTX 4090 and the two RTX 4080 models came in at last-gen prices, we’d have a much more competitive GPU market. If you’re in the market for a GPU below $1,000, the only 40-series option available is the 12GB RTX 4080, and even then, you’re at the high end of flagship pricing. The company has been clear that it has excess inventory of RTX 30-series graphics cards, and there’s not enough demand for them. As shown during the [GeForce Beyond presentation](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-gtc-2022-everything-announced/) and reiterated to the press in a briefing, Nvidia sees the RTX 3080 as the GPU to buy for around $700, at least for the time being.

[RTX 4090](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-rtx-4090-news-specs-price-release-date/) is official, and it’s launching in a few short weeks; if you can stomach the $1,600 price tag, that is. That puts Nvidia in a precarious position considering [AMD’s RX 7000 GPUs](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-radeon-rx-7000-series-everything-you-need-to-know/) are right around the corner.
