Nvidia announced at the GeForce Beyond conference the top graphics cards for desktop computers from the new RTX 4000 series, with the Ada Lovelace architecture, with a manufacturing accuracy of 4nm. Only two cards, RTX 4090 and RTX 4080, were revealed, and we will review their capabilities and price in this article.
Ada Lovelace Architecture: Superior Precision, Super Efficiency!
The number of transistors to reach 76 billion transistors. The new architecture includes the third generation of Ray Tracing Cores, which achieves 2.8 times better performance than the previous generation, while it includes the fourth generation of Tensor Cores. As for the type of memory, it is GDDR6X.
Nvidia has added new broadcast processors with SER technology to achieve two times better shadow performance and a 25% higher frame rate. The RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 perform 2-4 times better than the RTX 3090 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti, respectively!
DLSS 3.0 added and made available across 35 games and apps
Nvidia added to the new generation of graphics cards the new DLSS 3.0 feature, and the wonderful thing is that this version not only creates new pixels, but also now has the ability to create additional frames to combine them between successive frames, which relieves the load from the burden of central processing and not only graphic processing.
The DLSS 3.0 feature will be available across 35 games and applications starting in October, and the number will continue to increase. Nvidia showed us the capabilities of DLSS 3.0, as the number of frames for the Cyberpunk 2077 game increased from 23FPS to 108FPS.. amazing!
Specifications and price of RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 graphics cards
The RTX 4090 graphics card contains 24GB of GDDR6X random memory with a 384-bit bus rate, and it also includes 16,384 CUDA Cores with support for a frequency of 2.23GHz that supports Boost to 2.52GHz. The RTX 4090 graphics card is very demanding, as it consumes 450W and it is recommended to purchase an 850W power adapter, and it also requires a PCIe 5.0 adapter or a new power adapter.
The RTX 4090 graphics card will be released on October 12th at a price of $1,599.
As for the RTX 4080 graphics card, there are two versions of the memory that differ in terms of the number of Cuda Cores and frequency; The 16GB version with a 256-bit Bus rate of 9,728 Cuda Cores with a frequency of 2.21GHz supports Boost to 2.51GHz, and the 12GB version with a 192-bit Bus rate of 7,680 Cuda Cores with a frequency of 2.31GHz supports a boost to 2.61GHz. As for the power consumption, it is 320W and 285W while it is recommended to purchase a power adapter of 750W and 700W respectively.
The price of the RTX 4080 graphics card is $ 1,199 for the 16GB version and $ 899 for the 12GB version.
RTX ON DLC Brings Portal to life with RTX Remix!
Portal was first released in October 2007 as part of Valve's Orange Box project, and was a revolutionary first-person platformer. The game was so well received and considered by many to be one of the best games of its time, that GlaDOS became everyone's favorite antagonist.
15 years have passed since the game and it has become outdated compared to the current games, and here is Nvidia bringing it back to life again under the name Portal With RTX DLC supported by its latest technologies, the most important of which are RTX, DLSS and Reflexb, so that Portal becomes the jewel of old games and an example of restoring great games, and it will be free for owners of the game Portal starting from November.
The DLC was created through the RTX Remix modding platform dedicated to creating or sharing Mods that support “RTX ON” ray tracing technologies for classic games, and it is built on the Omniverse platform dedicated to collaborating in the field of creating 3D designs and simulating the world graphically, and it seems to be a promising platform as evidenced by the video above .
