According to Twitterer Kopite7kimi, Nvidia’s RTX 4000 graphics cards will be released sooner than expected. With the earliest talk so far of September/October, it looks like the first Ada Lovelace GPUs will be introduced in mid-July. The leaker shared more details about the RTX 4090, which will likely debut first.
It’s not clear what the reference to AMD’s RDNA 3 GPUs means.
Where the fully-enabled AD102 GPU contains a maximum of 18,432 cuda cores, the RTX 4090 reportedly should be content with 16,128 compute cores. This AD102-300 chip will be paired with 24GB of gddr6x video memory running at 21Gbps, just like the RTX 3090 Ti. This sku should perform roughly twice as good as the regular RTX 3090.
Contrary to recent rumors, Nvidia would still prefer a ‘modest’ power consumption: 450 W is being talked about instead of a 600 W tbp. Given the core count of the full AD102 chip, a future RTX 4090 Ti or a Titan card with much more video memory and corresponding power consumption seems like the obvious choice.
