NVIDIA 4000 Series

With the rumours of the mega power consumption of the 4090, I saw a meme image the other day where the new cards had a kettle plug 240v port as a joke, but honestly it made me think: 'actually that is genius'!

Not with the way the GPU works now, GPU run on 12v input, plug 240v and GPu goes Boom. That's what PSU is for , to change 240v to 12v. If you put 240v plug on the GPu and plug into wall then you have to put a PSU on the GPU itself
 
Is the 4000 series likely to be just a reworked 3000 series with higher power requirements and higher temps? I dread to think what VRAM temps will be like next time round or will NVidia have learned their lesson?
 
How I see it when taking into account all those leaks from leaked Nvidia documents and knowing that RDNA3 will triple the hardware of RDNA2 ( 5120 cores vs 15360 cores MCM). Nvidia will be under pressure

ADA Lovelace will use 2GB memory chips for GDDR6X/+, same as RTX 3090Ti.( RTX 3080/Ti/90 were using 1GB chips).
AD102 RTX 4090Ti 144SM ( coming one year later) 384Bit 48GB
AD102 RTX 4090 140SM 384Bit 24/48GB
AD102 RTX 4080Ti 132SM 384Bit 24GB
AD102 RTX 4080 112SM 320Bit 20GB
AD 103 RTX 4070Ti 84SM 256Bit 16GB ( coming one year later)
AD103 RTX 4070 80SM 256Bit 16GB (30% faster than RTX 3090 thanks to higher clocks and architecture improvement with bigger cache.)
AD104 RTX 4060Ti 60SM 192Bit 12GB
AD104 RTX 4060 52SM 192Bit 12GB
AD106 RTX 4050Ti 36SM 128Bit 8GB
 
AD103 RTX 4070 80SM 256Bit 16GB (30% faster than RTX 3090 thanks to higher clocks and architecture improvement with bigger cache.)
That would be sweet. Would even be happy if on par or 10% better for £499. But if 30% better then it will be LOL.

I feel it will be the sweet spot card to buy. 16GB will be plenty VRAM so won’t have to listen to the whiners anymore saying is it enough either :D
 
Got the 3060Ti FE today amazing card almost 4x faster then my 1050Ti in 3Dmark and that's with i7 6700K runs just as cool and quiet perfect for £369.
This GPU speed should easy last me two more years gaming at 1440P.

No rush to buy the 4070 or 4080 this year, just as well be no stock for a year lol.


Posted in wrong thread duh.

Not to mention needing to support 110, 220 and 240v with enough smoothing!
That said, if the rumoured power draw is accurate (which I doubt!), then we'll probably need 3x nV 12 pin connectors on the top tier cards

It all sounds a bit too good to be true. I get the feeling the 3080 will go back to the small die. Nvidia made a mistake this generation making the 3080 GA102-based and ending up in a situation where it got way too close to the real premium SKUs at a far more reasonable price. I think if they had a do-over then the 3080 would have been the 3070 Ti and they'd have saved the gap for the 3080 Ti, whilst also making the 3090 more attractive. In the end it didn't matter so much because a mining boom fell into their lap and they sold everything they could make anyway, but I don't see them letting the 4080 be so close unless they're going to just jack the price way up out of the gate.

I guess it depends on what AMD have to offer though. They may be forced to compete aggressively.

Inb4 the 16gb VRAM not enough for the 4070 thread. :p
 
That comes from the MLID video I posted on the previous page they're all just quoting him

he said rtx4070 is 10% to 30% faster than 3090 depending on game and if it's rasterisation or rayvtracing.

He said rtx4080 is 40% to 60% faster than rtx3090 and rtx4090 is 80% to 120% faster than rtx3090



But if these numbers are true it means that rtx4090 is 50% faster than rtx4080. Can anyone belive that!?? And even if it is true would Nvidia dare hand out that performance at launch or would they rather hold onto the 4090/ti/Titan for a later launch at really high price


Some dude, posts some rubbish on the internet for some 'clicks' :rolleyes:
 
GeForce RTX 40 Series: Great performance comes with great power bill

There is yet another report that next-gen NVIDIA series will require lots of power.

Granted, we are only talking about the flagship models for now, but 600W graphics cards are still something that many of us simply cannot comprehend. The latest tweet from a reliable NVIDIA leaker kopite7kimi appears to confirm that next-gen XX90 class GPU is to feature TGP (total graphics power) of 600W.

400w is already too much heat going into the room, does this rumour really make sense. I'm sure they will support the new 600w pcie connection, but to actually have a tdp that high seems insane.
 
Not sure if you need a new power supply with a new connector for these rumoured 600w cards? Do they work with existing power supplies if you have enough headroom already?
