Here's why people are so upset about the RTX 4090 and 4080 (Digital Trends)

Nvidia has announced the most powerful new GPUs ever made: the RTX 4090 and 4080? But under the surface, there are some serious problems.

[RTX 4090](https://www.digitaltrends.com/news/nvidia-geforce-beyond-live-coverage-rtx-4090/) comes in at $1,599, the RTX 4080 16GB is $1,199, and the RTX 4080 12GB is $899. [announcing its decision to pull out of the GPU market](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/evga-done-making-gpus-nvidias-fault/) entirely, citing Nvidia’s poor practices as the reason why. That means the RTX 4080 16GB actually matches the RTX 3080 Ti in price. It’s a significant step down in terms of specs, feeling more like where the RTX 4070 should be in the lineup. You’d think all this would put Nvidia in a tough spot, but the company knows exactly what it’s doing. The If you compare the RTX 4090 to last-gen’s RTX 3090, you’re seeing a $100 uptick in price. The two RTX 4080 models are where things get hairy. RTX 4080 16GB The problem? These three new GPUs were the crown jewels of [Nvidia’s nearly two-hour keynote](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-gtc-2022-everything-announced/). Then again, the RTX 3090 Ti had it beat just earlier this year, with its retail price of $1,999.

Nvidia Overclocked an RTX 4090 Beyond 3.0 GHz (Tom's Hardware)

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4090 could be an overclocking champ, with a 2.52 GHz boost clock that Nvidia has already pushed beyond 3.0 GHz "in its labs."

How many of these boards will be able to hit 3 GHz remains to be seen, but it's certainly a possibility for at least some of the models. One of the things we don't know with AD102-based graphics boards is how much power a 3 GHz GPU frequency will require. [Nvidia's GeForce RTX 40-series announcement](https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-rtx-4080-price-release-date-specs-revealed) was the company's claim that it has already run its AD102 GPU at 3.0 GHz in its labs.

Considering the clock speed potential of Nvidia's AD102, Nvidia and TSMC likely optimized the production node both for complexity and frequency. Naturally, liquid nitrogen should enable the GPU to be pushed even further.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090: Release date, price, and specs (PC Gamer)

The wait is over. The rumour mill can stop spinning, however briefly, and we can pore over the details Nvidia has released for its new top card.

In the meantime, Nvidia has released some figures, just to show how its latest architecture compares with its previous best Ampere offering, the RTX 3090 Ti. In Microsoft Flight Simulator and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide you're looking at a respectable doubling of the frame rate. It's worth noting that both the RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti weren't really aimed at gamers, but more at the semi-professional crowd. Top of the pile is the GeForce RTX 4090, which will be the first card to be released. It's the most expensive offering of those announced so far, but it also packs a mighty punch when it comes, if Nvidia's own benchmarks are to be believed.

The AIO cooler paired with the full-cover copper water block covering the GPU and VRAM will be responsible for ensuring the GPU uses its maximum performance at all times, regardless of the load. The Serious Gaming series will include RTX 4090, 4080 16GB, and 4080 12GB cards, all with ARGB LEDs, up to nine heat pipes, and up to 102mm dual-bearing fans in three-fan configurations. The new XLR8 and Verto models have been modified to meet the demands of the new RTX 40 series GPUs, using 3-fan cooling solutions, up to eight heat pipes and support kits to prevent them from sagging or bending. Besides the Phoenix cards, Gainward will also have the Phantom and Phantom Reunion series. Moreover, the Vulcan cards feature a dock station where you choose to mount RGB strips or a customisable iGame Smart LCD. Starting from the bottom, the X3 OC cards will be the most standard, packing a 3-fan cooling solution (3x98mm), nine heat pipes, and a large vapour chamber to cool the GPU. Galax decided to start with a single series of graphics cards, probably expanding in the future. As the name suggests, the Phantom cards will have a darker colour scheme. Like the standard Phantom GPUs, it uses the new Cyclone fans, diffuser fins, and Hyper Conductive heat pipes to cool the GPU. Unlike the new TUF Gaming cards with varying sizes depending on the GPU, the new Strix models are all 3.5-slot thick and 357mm long. All models feature nine heat pipes and a 3-fan cooling solution, but the AMP Extreme Airo cards have the middle fan counter-rotating for even better cooling performance. As for Ventus, the more modest series will be slimmer than the other air-cooled cards and will use Torx 4.0 fans.

Why AMD doesn't need to beat the RTX 4090 to overtake Nvidia (Digital Trends)

[RX 6800 XT is around 5% behind](https://www.techspot.com/review/2427-geforce-rtx-3080-vs-radeon-6800-xt/) the RTX 3080, and most games don’t see much of a difference at all. [RX 6950 XT](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-radeon-rx-6950-xt-review/) show that AMD is able to compete at the top levels of GPU performance while still undercutting Nvidia on price. And as the next generation of graphics cards starts to roll out, Nvidia doesn’t look like it’s on the winning end. Assuming AMD keeps the pricing the same, it would have to release a worse GPU than its previous generation to lose out to Nvidia. [announcement of the RTX 4090](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-rtx-4090-rtx-4080-launch-geforce-beyond/): the RTX 3080 isn’t going anywhere. If the RTX 4090 and the two RTX 4080 models came in at last-gen prices, we’d have a much more competitive GPU market. If you’re in the market for a GPU below $1,000, the only 40-series option available is the 12GB RTX 4080, and even then, you’re at the high end of flagship pricing. The company has been clear that it has excess inventory of RTX 30-series graphics cards, and there’s not enough demand for them. As shown during the [GeForce Beyond presentation](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-gtc-2022-everything-announced/) and reiterated to the press in a briefing, Nvidia sees the RTX 3080 as the GPU to buy for around $700, at least for the time being.
