Original article:


Nvidia GTC had a few announcements and goodies, but as PCMR, the main stars are always the GPUs:

- RTX 4090: $1599. Available October 12th. Promised performance of up to 2x a 3090Ti

- RTX 4080 16GB: $1,199. Promised performance of up to 2x a 3080Ti

- RTX 4080 (12GB) - $899. Promised performance of more than a 3090Ti.

- Community Q&A with Nvidia experts happened on launch day on r/nvidia. Here's the Summary.

- Power requirements FAQ:

RTX 4090 = 3x PCIe 8-pin cables (adapter in the box) OR 450 W or greater PCIe Gen 5 cable.

RTX 4080 16GB = 3x PCIe 8-pin cables (adapter in the box) OR 450 W or greater PCIe Gen 5 cable.

RTX 4080 12GB = 2x PCIe 8-pin cables (adapter in box) OR 300 W or greater PCIe Gen 5 cable. 

- Some questions and replies from Nvidia regarding community concerns:

PCI-SIG just warned of potential overcurrent/overpower risk with 12VHPWR connectors using non-ATX 3.0 PSU & Gen 5 adapter plugs. How does this affect NVIDIA’s new products?

"We have thoroughly tested our power adapters and expect no issues. Customers who are concerned can use that connector solution with confidence. As a PCIe SIG member, we have shared our findings to help vendors who are implementing the new standard."

Why is there only a 30 cycle lifetime on these new PCIe Gen 5 connectors?

"The 30 cycle spec is not something new and is normal for power connectors.  In fact, the existing 8pin PCIe/ATX power connector (AKA Molex Mini-fit) shares the same 30 cycle mating life. "

Nvidia calls it a "revolutionary breakthrough in AI-powered graphics that massively boosts performance while maintaining great image quality and responsiveness". It adds Optical Multi Frame Generation to generate entirely new frames. Promised performance boost of up to 4X latency reduction promise of up to 2X.

Ada Lovelace tech includes 3rd-gen Ray Tracing Cores. Nvidia promises up to 2x the ray-triangle intersection performance of the prior 2nd-generation RT Core used in NVIDIA Ampere.

4th Generation Tensor Cores as well. Promised performance of up to 2x faster vs prior gen, and now they add support for INT8.

That's a lot of transistors

RTX 40-series features hardware accelerated encoding for the AV1 video codec using the NVIDIA hardware encoder, NVENC. AV1, promises improved visual quality at the same bitrates as H.265/H.264 or, in alternative, the same level of visual quality with reduced bit rates when using AV1.
