NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4000 Series Release Date, Price, Specs

Release Date NVIDIA GPU Currently, there is no official information regarding the release date of the following NVIDIA GPU lineup. So, what do we do know so far? Well, there is something in the works for sure. Judging by NVIDIAs GPU history and the pattern of their GPU releases, the RTX 4000 series is almost certainly already in development. Based on NVIDIAs official architecture roadmap, Ampere Next (or Ada Lovelace) has a planned 2022 release. By 2024, they believe they will have Ampere Next Next ready, which is supposedly the RTX 5000 series. The latest leak by kopite7kimi claims that the RTX 4000 series could show up in Q3 of 2022. However, we are unsure whether kopite7kimi refers to a summer release or just an announcement. It could be either. Nvidias 5 year plan Greymon55, another notable leaker, claims that all next-gen GPUs will be released by October 2022. NVIDIAs Stopgap It still feels early for the RTX 4000 series, considering the relatively recent 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti releases. But wait, NVIDIA is planning more! Circulating rumors hint towards RTX 3000 Super GPUs that will release at the end of 2021 or early 2022. The above leak by kopite7kimi shows the specs of the entire lineup. Highlights include increased CUDA cores, VRAM memory, and an upgrade to GDDR6X from GDDR6 non-X (excluding the 3060S). There are some rumors that the RTX 3090 Tis production is at a halt because of a hardware problem. A hardware problem during production can cause a several-week or several-month delay. It could even completely suspend the release of the GPU. Either way, these new Super or Ti variants of the RTX 3000 Series wont be a significant upgrade from the current lineup. In fact, the upgrade will be minimal. So, if you are already on an RTX 3000 SKU, we recommend waiting for RTX 4000. Specifications How To Overclock GPU As mentioned previously, no official info is available for the RTX 4000 series, but there have been some leaks. Currently, the only concrete information is its codename: Ada Lovelace. The Ada Lovelace microarchitecture will be on a 5nm fabrication process, a giant leap from the 8nm Ampere (Samsung) chips. A smaller microarchitecture will result in two significant benefits: more performance for a lot less power. Thanks to the 5nm architecture, Nivida gets those benefits by cramming more transistors onto the chip. Leaks suggest an increase of more than 7500 CUDA cores from the GA102 (3090, 3080) chip. This includes almost double GPC (Graphics Processing Clusters), 7 to 12, and 30 more TPC (Texture Processing Clusters). Thats a massive bump in specifications, considering the Ampere chip had an increase of just 1 GPC from the Turing 102 chip.
