NVIDIA today unveiled the GeForce RTX® 40 Series of GPUs, designed
to deliver revolutionary performance for gamers and creators, led
by its new flagship, the RTX 4090 GPU, with up to 4x the
performance of its predecessor.
The world’s first GPUs based on the new NVIDIA® Ada Lovelace
architecture, the RTX 40 Series delivers massive generational leaps
in performance and efficiency, and represents a new era of
real-time ray tracing and neural rendering, which uses AI to
generate pixels.
“The age of RTX ray tracing and neural rendering is in full
steam, and our new Ada Lovelace architecture takes it to the next
level,” said Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s founder and CEO, at the
GeForce® Beyond: Special Broadcast at GTC.
“Ada provides a quantum leap for gamers and paves the way for
creators of fully simulated worlds. With up to 4x the performance
of the previous generation, Ada is setting a new standard for the
industry,” he said.
DLSS 3 Generates Entire Frames for Faster Game
PlayHuang also announced NVIDIA DLSS 3 — the next
revolution in the company’s Deep Learning Super Sampling
neural-graphics technology for games and creative apps. The
AI-powered technology can generate entire frames for massively
faster game play. It can overcome CPU performance limitations in
games by allowing the GPU to generate entire frames
independently.
The technology is coming to the world’s most popular game
engines, such as Unity and Unreal Engine, and has received support
from many of the world’s leading game developers, with more than 35
games and apps coming soon.
Additionally, the RTX 40 Series GPUs feature a range of new
technological innovations, including:
- Streaming multiprocessors with up to 83
teraflops of shader power — 2x over the previous generation.
- Third-generation RT Cores with up to 191
effective ray-tracing teraflops — 2.8x over the previous
generation.
- Fourth-generation Tensor Cores with up to 1.32
Tensor petaflops — 5x over the previous generation using FP8
acceleration.
- Shader Execution Reordering (SER) that
improves execution efficiency by rescheduling shading workloads on
the fly to better utilize the GPU’s resources. As significant an
innovation as out-of-order execution was for CPUs, SER improves
ray-tracing performance up to 3x and in-game frame rates by up to
25%.
- Ada Optical Flow Accelerator with 2x faster
performance allows DLSS 3 to predict movement in a scene, enabling
the neural network to boost frame rates while maintaining image
quality.
- Architectural improvements tightly coupled
with custom TSMC 4N process technology results in an up to 2x leap
in power efficiency.
- Dual NVIDIA Encoders (NVENC) cut export times
by up to half and feature AV1 support. The NVENC AV1 encode is
being adopted by OBS, Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve, Discord
and more.
New Ray-Tracing Tech for Even More Immersive
Games For decades, rendering ray-traced scenes with
physically correct lighting in real time has been considered the
holy grail of graphics. At the same time, geometric complexity of
environments and objects has continued to increase as 3D games and
graphics strive to provide the most accurate representations of the
real world.
Achieving physically accurate graphics requires tremendous
computational horsepower. Modern ray-traced games like Cyberpunk
2077 run over 600 ray-tracing calculations for each pixel just to
determine lighting — a 16x increase from the first ray-traced games
introduced four years ago.
The new third-generation RT Cores have been enhanced to deliver
2x faster ray-triangle intersection testing and include two
important new hardware units. An Opacity Micromap Engine speeds up
ray tracing of alpha-test geometry by a factor of 2x, and a
Micro-Mesh Engine generates micro-meshes on the fly to generate
additional geometry. The Micro-Mesh Engine provides the benefits of
increased geometric complexity without the traditional performance
and storage costs of complex geometries. Creativity
Redefined With RTX Remix, New AV1 EncodersThe RTX 40
Series GPUs and DLSS 3 deliver advancements for NVIDIA Studio
creators. 3D artists can render fully ray-traced environments with
accurate physics and realistic materials, and view the changes in
real time, without proxies.
Video editing and live streaming also get a boost from improved
GPU performance and the inclusion of new dual, eighth-generation
AV1 encoders. The NVIDIA Broadcast software development kit has
three updates, now available for partners, including Face
Expression Estimation, Eye Contact and quality improvements to
Virtual Background.
NVIDIA Omniverse™ — included in the NVIDIA Studio suite of
software — will soon add NVIDIA RTX Remix, a modding platform to
create stunning RTX remasters of classic games. RTX Remix allows
modders to easily capture game assets, automatically enhance
materials with powerful AI tools, and quickly enable RTX with ray
tracing and DLSS.
Portal Is RTX ON!RTX Remix has
been used by NVIDIA Lightspeed Studios to reimagine Valve’s iconic
video game Portal, regarded as one of the best video games of all
time. Advanced graphics features such as full ray tracing and DLSS
3 give the game a striking new look and feel. Portal with RTX will
be released as free, official downloadable content for the classic
platformer with RTX graphics in November, just in time for Portal’s
15th anniversary.
The GeForce RTX 4090 and 4080: The New Ultimate
GPUs The RTX 4090 is the world’s fastest gaming GPU with
astonishing power, acoustics and temperature characteristics. In
full ray-traced games, the RTX 4090 with DLSS 3 is up to 4x faster
compared to last generation’s RTX 3090 Ti with DLSS 2. It is also
up to 2x faster in today’s games while maintaining the same 450W
power consumption. It features 76 billion transistors, 16,384 CUDA®
cores and 24GB of high-speed Micron GDDR6X memory, and consistently
delivers over 100 frames per second at 4K-resolution gaming. The
RTX 4090 will be available on Wednesday, Oct. 12, starting at
$1,599.
The company also announced the RTX 4080, launching in two
configurations. The RTX 4080 16GB has 9,728 CUDA cores and 16GB of
high-speed Micron GDDR6X memory, and with DLSS 3 is 2x as fast in
today’s games as the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and more powerful than the
GeForce RTX 3090 Ti at lower power. The RTX 4080 12GB has 7,680
CUDA cores and 12GB of Micron GDDR6X memory, and with DLSS 3 is
faster than the RTX 3090 Ti, the previous-generation flagship
GPU.
Both RTX 4080 configurations will be available in November, with
prices starting at $1,199 and $899, respectively. Where to
Buy The GeForce RTX 4090 and 4080 GPUs will be available
as custom boards, including stock-clocked and factory-overclocked
models, from top add-in card providers such as ASUS, Colorful,
Gainward, Galaxy, GIGABYTE, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and
Zotac.
The RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 (16GB) are also produced directly by
NVIDIA in limited Founders Editions for fans wanting the NVIDIA
in-house design.
