At GTC 2022, NVIDIA officially announced the RTX 4090 and the RTX 4080 GPUs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 will release on October 12th, will have 16GB of G6X memory, and will have an MSRP of $1599. On the other hand, the RTX 4080 will come out in November in two versions.
Regarding the RTX4080, NVIDIA will be offering a 12GB and a 16GB version. The 12GB version will have fewer CUDA cores than the 16GB version (7680 CUDA cores instead of 9728 CUDA cores). The 12GB variant will be priced at $899 and the 16GB version at $1199.
These two graphics cards will be based on the new NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture. According to the green team, Ada Lovelace has 3rd generation RT Cores and 4th generation Tensor Cores.
NVIDIA has also announced DLSS 3.0. DLSS 3.0 will offer better performance in both GPU and CPU-bound games. This is an incredible feature as it will benefit owners of numerous PC configurations. The catch here though is that in order to take full advantage of DLSS 3.0, you’ll need an Ada Lovelace GPU. NVIDIA stated that older RTX GPUs will still be able to run DLSS 3.0 (though performance gains won’t be as big as those with an Ada Lovelace GPU).
NVIDIA has showcased Cyberpunk 2077 and Microsoft Flight Simulator running with DLSS 3.0. So yeah, expect these two games to support this new version of DLSS in the future.
Below you can find the first games and engines that will support DLSS 3.0.

ahaha those prices
1060 and 1050Ti from 2016 will remain the most used GPU on steam.
I also see a lot of people moving to consoles.
PC gaming has become way too expensive.
I moved to consoles from PC gaming back when Xbox and PS2 hit the market, and it sucks that there is no way to buy a system to play my games. They want you to just rebuy them over and over each generation. They do that on PC too, but you can still play your oldies and goodies, without being left out to dry.
i bought xbox series S for my nephew even though we used to play PC game together. it cost me around 286$ here plus 22$ i got 14 month of gamepass. while cheapest RX6600 still cost around 266$ and i still need CPU, RAM, SSD, etc. i hate to admit it but console is getting cheaper and easier these days.
They are, and now, like the early 2000’s is a perfect time for console gaming. Just keep in mind the cost of ownership over time, that you never own any of the games on the pass and they can change at will, and that when you get the next xbox, who knows what you will be able to take over with you, and what you will lose or be forced to buy again. I think consoles are great, but I am sad to have console collections from the past with no way to play them. My ancient PC collection on the other hand, no problem. You can already find deals on a 19 10th gen 10900k for 200 bucks, extreme mobos for 150, gpus now coming down, can get a 3080 ti for 750, 100 for ram and 100 for psu and 100 for case 100 for cooler, it is still expensive, yes…. but everything can be upgraded and replaced as needed, and there is no transition to the next generation, just import your windows and update drivers. I feel you, but don’t give up on PC’s, the prices will normalize and even drop below soon, things will get better. Then they will get worse.
DLSS3 runs on all RTX gpus but these greedy snakes dont wanna give it to us on old gen cards
Here is proof
They they goofed look at this benchmark. so you saying a new 4080 runs Cyberpunk at ultra and get only 26 fps ? hmmm
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c183c5dd8a40b449653e6297fd5a69f92de0df000d20337d7db284e537f2cd34.png
This is most likely the new Ray Tracing Overdrive Mode (which means that you may get 15fps on the current-gen GPUs).
This screenshot makes no sense, on the left it says both RTX OFF in the corner and RT On in the middle, which is it ? how bullshit can your marketing be ?
I believe it, I don’t think that, without DLSS, we will see real substaintial fps gains over 30 series. Shoot, my 3080ti only gets 40% more performance than my Titan XP even though the CUDA count is more than doubled, unless I turn on DLSS, which I find ridiculous and the 4080 has less cuda cores than the 3080ti, and those are numbers look just a tiche higher than what the 3080ti gets on ultra with RT on DLSS off. I think our cards are being limited by DLSS, reserving resources for their AI learning algorithms rather than letting us tap the cards true potential in actual on site rendering without AI. I also have noticed a bump in standby GPU utilization from the 10 series cards to the RTX series with DLSS. Data always being transferred to NVidia for AI algorithms to learn and improve? I would imagine every frame ever played by every subscriber to Geforce Now 3080 service is in their AI database for sure, and is probably what fueled the DLSS 2.0 2.1.
2-4 times faster is it true …or is it marketing technique……can’t say…………….. but don’t understand why people complaining on tdp…tdp seems low on 80 series & 70 series than previous generation…. & same tdp on 90 series than previous generation…..so on power draw its fine
According to Nvidia(opens in new tab), DLSS 2.0, the most common version, can boost framerates by 200-300% (see the DLSS 2.0 section below for more). The original DLSS is in far fewer games and we’ve found it to be less effective, but Nvidia says it can boost framerates “by over 70%.” DLSS can really come in handy, even with the best graphics cards, when gaming at a high resolution or with ray tracing, both of which can cause framerates to drop substantially compared to 1080p.
Was it true? Yes and no. Take a game like Cyberpunk, I get 20fps off 80fps on with my quality settings, so I get 400% of the rendered frames, then I go into Warzone, and I get the exact same frames with it on with higher cpu usage, so -50% in my mind. It only works if it is able to be implemented well within a games framework. Hence why there are few select random titles showing numbers, and not the list of all AAA games in the past couple years, as we know they have that data as well, but the cherries have been picked, and they are what is on display.
900$ for RTX 4080. If they want to kill PC gaming with these prices then good job.
The market is so fu@ked most players are still using cards from GTX 1000 or RX 500.
Lack of new AAA games is getting concerning.
Every launch in the universe is scheduled for 2023.
The 12GB model is a 104 GPU die, which was traditionally reserved for 70 class cards until Maxwell. Even back then, the top 104 class card was the GTX 980 for $550 MSRP.
You can bet the initial 1 to 2 months retail cost will be more like $1100 for the cheapest 4080.
This assumes there IS stock. If there are shortages or tons of scalpers, expect to pay even more.
1200$ for a 4080 (16 GB).
The 12 GB 4080 is a last minute switch from the 4070 naming.
EDIT: Yeah, no, the 4080 12 GB is a 4060 actually, lmao. What a scam.
broke a*s mf
The absolute chutzpah of huang to charge these stupid prices. That $900 US GPU is essentially an RTX 4070, which should really go for $400 at most. The 16GB RTX 4080 should’ve been $650 and 4090 should’ve been $1200. This may be the worst price hike he’s pulled off yet. Of course, with the lack of competition and the high amount of mindshare nvidia has, they can charge whatever the hell they want and pretty much get away with it. When jensen said he was an israeli at heart, he really meant it.
Also, if you look at the massive gaps in the specs between the 3 cards you can tell that they definitely have more cards planned. We’ll very likely see an RTX 4080 Ti and a 4090 Ti next year, which I’m sure will also have ridiculous prices. Here’s hoping for competitive pricing from team red, but I’m not holding my breath.
Good to see the upscaling tech continues to evolve.
We now have FSR 2.1.1 pretty much 95% equivalent to DLSS 2.x. And FSR2 mods în almost all DLSS2 games.
Let’s see what DLSS 3 and FSR 3 can do
And again nvidia screwing over owners of previous gen gpu’s by making dlss 3.0 exclusive to the new cards.
Eh, you don’t really want it anyways, do you? Look at how the tech works, it is essentially just taking a 1080p image and using functions to simulate 1440, 4k, 8k, you are not actually getting the true 4k or 8k resolution with DLSS
I like it, the result sometimes have better anti aliasing and image quality than native res as long as you use quality dlss and not performance
And you claw back performance so its a win win and for me its the best feature of the rtx cards, more than ray tracing

I hear you, and agree about the anti-ailing, but I have not had the same results against native resolution for image quality. It looks sharper, for sure, but that is because they add sharpening, so it looks better because it has been “made up” to look better. Not because it is better. I am glad it works for you and most people, and I try daily to enjoy it, but aside from a few select titles, I do not see an improvement visually, just in fps. But to each our own eh?
I will happily avoid Nvidia like the plague this generation.
Glad I got the 3080 ti under retail when I did, and glad I can skip the Metaverse of inserting prerendered frames from their AI database into my gameplay… I just don’t trust random frames being inserted, and that those random frames will change over time as the ai learns, meaning every time someone plays a game with dlss 3.0 after a geforce driver update, the frame algorithm changes and inserted frames will be more “accurate.” Tyler Durdent, please don’t insert unwanted frames into my game, just send me a product that can render on its own, without a huge mothership sending data to it.
“”On the other hand, the RTX 4080 does not have a release date, however it will have 12GB of VRAM and an MSRP of $899.””
Kindly correct the above info in the article. RTX 4080 does have a release date, and it will come in BOTH 16GB and 12GB flavors. These cards are coming out in NOVEMBER, 2022.
Both these SKUs on based on a different ADA silicon, AD103 and AD104, respectively. Even the SPECS are different, so these 2 cards are not the same model.
There are 9728 CUDA cores on the 16GB SKU, and 7680 CUDA cores on the 12GB variant.
The RTX 4080 12GB card was expected to be named as RTX 4070 instead, but it seems Nvidia has taken a different route this time.

Hey man,long time no See.
Thanks sasan ! It’s good to know some of you out here still remember me. LOL.
Anyways, I’m doing okay, and hope the same with you as well.
Your like Baldman, unforgivable, glad yr good
OG Messiah! ?????
thanks bro.we miss you and your great articles.hope all is good with you.
Nice to see you again. Hope everything is well with you.
Thanks man. Yeah, I’m doing okay. Just been busy with life. Hope you all guys are also doing fine as well.
” DLSS 3.0 is only supported by the Ada Lovelace ” typical Nvidia…
Lol, they somehow made the 4090 look like “the deal.” No thanks Nvidia.
And there is no way to perform real world testing to see how much better it is than the 4080 in gaming… 3090 and 90ti were not worth it for gamers, and who knows if this will be.
Good, my OCD was bothering me with 3080ti. I don’t like to see odd numbers.
Lol these prices are a joke, literally nobody but actual devs or companies will get anything from this. Nvidia may as well come out and say gpus are richman’s only toy.
Also f*k off with planned obsolescence Jensen. No reason why DLSS3 can’t be done on 30 series outside of $$$$
NVIDIA issued a statement, claiming that all RTX GPUs will support DLSS 3.0. However, the performance gains on Ada Lovelace GPUs will be greater (mainly due to the DLSS Frame Generation which takes advantage of the Optical Flow Accelerator that only the Ada Lovelace GPUs currently have).
Looks good but prices are too high.
I went from buying every gen an 80Ti class before crypto, Then I skipped a generation (30 series) to make up for high prices when I got a 2080Ti, Now it looks like if I grit my teeth and buy a 4080 I will be needing to skip 2 generations to make up for the price gouge, Slowly being priced out of the market.
Games have never been worse from Triple A and video cards have never been more absurdly priced. Expecting a video game crash worse than the 80’s. RPG’s are now sermons from the same clowns that are losing streaming services BILLIONS of dollars. New FPS franchises are doomed to fail because they are designed around console controllers. MMO’s are now dominated by decades old expansions.
The only gamers left playing “NEW” games from Triple A are drooling imbeciles on Call of Duty and Madden. Anyone thinking the next sermon from Bioware or Neil Druckmann is going to sell is delusional. Rockstar is about to follow suit and CDPR already did.
WTF do I need a video card like this for? To play counterstrike, WOTLK Classic or KOTOR, Mass Effect or the Witcher games? The next Witcher and Mass Effect game will have dudes calling themselves women. The KOTOR remake will feature a Bastila that looks like that dude claiming to be a woman from Horizon Zero Dawn. Think I want to see that sh@^ in 4k? Ugly women, effeminate men and a bunch of rainbow flags and they/them’s all over the place?
There is a reason San Francisco has no kids in their schools. Anyone that was not a complete degenerate left the city. It’s now rampant with human feces. Video games now reflect a echo chamber bubble that should be nuked from orbit.
Want to know the only reason to have this card? To play a South Korean or Japanese game 5 years from now that isn’t woke crap. In the case of the Japanese game, that is how long it will take to be optimized.
I can’t wait to get an EVGA card.
DLSS 3.0 uses Optical Multi Frame Generation “What makes Optical Multi Frame Generation different from the existing technology is that this process generates new frames instead of pixels. A.I. is used to fill in the blanks and interpret what should be on screen when the images are rendered in real-time. This is what provides a substantial performance boost when compared to DLSS running on existing Ampere hardware.” Essentially, we are not getting the performance from the card itself, but the ai network has compiled full framed images and is inserting them into our games to make up for the lack of actual gpu rendering capabilities. At least 2.0 used the local data on your rendering side, using pixels on your own end to upscale the image, this new jazz just inserts stuff, which would be terrible if hackers got the ability to send out a Geforce Driver Update, they could literally Tyler Durdent frames of images that don’t belong and insert them into our games, giving subliminal messages and thoughts that we do not want…. like the desire for big… black… snickers bars.
