At GTC 2022, NVIDIA officially announced the RTX 4090 and the RTX 4080 GPUs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 will release on October 12th, will have 16GB of G6X memory, and will have an MSRP of $1599. On the other hand, the RTX 4080 will come out in November in two versions.
Regarding the RTX4080, NVIDIA will be offering a 12GB and a 16GB version. The 12GB version will have fewer CUDA cores than the 16GB version (7680 CUDA cores instead of 9728 CUDA cores). The 12GB variant will be priced at $899 and the 16GB version at $1199.
These two graphics cards will be based on the new NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture. According to the green team, Ada Lovelace has 3rd generation RT Cores and 4th generation Tensor Cores.
NVIDIA has also announced DLSS 3.0. DLSS 3.0 will offer better performance in both GPU and CPU-bound games. This is an incredible feature as it will benefit owners of numerous PC configurations. The catch here though is that in order to take full advantage of DLSS 3.0, you’ll need an Ada Lovelace GPU. NVIDIA stated that older RTX GPUs will still be able to run DLSS 3.0 (though performance gains won’t be as big as those with an Ada Lovelace GPU).
NVIDIA has showcased Cyberpunk 2077 and Microsoft Flight Simulator running with DLSS 3.0. So yeah, expect these two games to support this new version of DLSS in the future.
Below you can find the first games and engines that will support DLSS 3.0.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
