NVIDIA is rumored to be focusing on high-end GeForce RTX 40 graphics cards starting with the GeForce RTX 4090 when the new series arrives later this year.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is rumored to be the first graphics card to be launched in the RTX 40 series series, followed by the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070
According to the latest rumor from Kopite7kimi (via Videocardz), it appears that NVIDIA will focus on its flagship graphics card, the GeForce RTX 4090 before moving on to the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 GPU variants.
It is currently rumored that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series will debut in mid-July 2022 which means the actual launch could take place in August 2022 but we don't know if this will be a full lineup or a single graphics card launch. Kopite7kimi states that we expect the GeForce RTX 4090 first, followed by its siblings, the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070. If you remember the release of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series, you'll remember that the green team also announced its own trio of Ampere, RTX 3090, and RTX 3080 cards. , and the RTX 3070 on the same day, however, and the launches were just a few weeks apart from each other.
NVIDIA first launched the GeForce RTX 3080 in the market followed by the RTX 3090 and RTX 3070. The mainstream RTX 3060 cards came months later. This time around, however, NVIDIA is said to be focusing on its top-tier cards first like the GeForce RTX 4090. We can use a similar launch schedule for the RTX 30 series with each launch a few weeks apart. So, while the cards could be announced as early as July 2022, the RTX 4090 won't be available until August and the RTX 4070 may start launching until September.
GeForce RTX 40 series triple graphics cards are expected to use different Ada Lovelace GPU designs with the RTX 4090 using the top AD102 SKU, and the RTX 4080 using the AD103 SKU while the RTX 4070 is expected to feature the AD104 GPU. During a recent earnings call, NVIDIA stated that the demand for graphics cards in the crypto segment has already dried up.
The company is trying to reignite interest in the GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards in the gaming sector with various marketing campaigns such as the "Restock and Reload" campaign we saw this month. This will likely be an attempt to ship as many GPUs as possible RTX 30 before moving to the new GeForce RTX 40 series.
