Powered by the new ultra-efficient NVIDIA Ada Lovelace, 3rd generation RTX architecture, GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards are beyond fast, giving gamers and creators a quantum leap in performance, AI-powered graphics, more immersive gaming experiences, and the fastest content creation workflows.

Release date

The RTX 4090 offers up to four times the performance of its direct predecessor, while packing in 24gb of memory. It’ll release on October 12th, and at that point will be the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. A month later it’ll be joined by two variations of the RTX 4080. Memory is the primary difference between the two iterations, with a 16gb version and a 12gb version releasing simultaneously. This is supposedly equivalent in power to the RTX 3080 Ti, but also gains access to some new 40-series exclusive features.

What upgrades does your PC need?

One of the biggest questions surrounding Nvidia's GeForce RTX 40-series (Ada Lovelace) graphics cards is whether you need to upgrade your power supply:

You won’t have to upgrade your power supply if its capacity meets Nvidia's wattage recommendations.

The GeForce RTX 4090 has a 450W TGP, meaning you need at least a 850W unit. The GeForce RTX 4080 12GB (285W) requires a 700W power supply while the GeForce RTX 4080 16GB (320W) will need a 750W unit.

Similarly, Nvidia doesn’t expect there to be any problems when it comes to 8-pin to PCIe Gen 5 16-pin adapter compatibility. As said by Nvidia on its FAQ page: “The adapter has active circuits inside that translate the 8-pin plug status to the correct sideband signals according to the PCIe Gen 5 (ATX 3.0) spec.”

Nvidia confirms that the so-called smart power adapter will detect the number of 8-pin connectors that are plugged in. When four such connectors are used versus just three, it will enable the RTX 4090 to draw more power (up to 600 watts) for extra overclocking capabilities.

We are preparing a NEW Yeyian Gaming System featuring this monster of a GPU at the end of October but in the meantime if you need to make an upgrade check out these power supply options and get ready for the RTX 40 series launch!
