Nvidia has unveiled its RTX 40 Series GPUs today, the latest generation of its graphics cards. They will be headlined by the RTX 4090, which will retail for $1599.
Nvidia claims that the RTX 4090 will run Microsoft Flight Simulator anywhere from two to four times the speed of the strongest version of the RTX 3090.
The RTX 4090 card will be released on October 12. The RTX 4080 will release in November, but there will be two versions that will release. The first version is a 16GB GDDR6X and will retail for $1199. The second will be a 12GB GDDR6X and will retail for $899.
The RTX 40 cards are powered by a new generation of RTX technology called Ada Lovelace. It’s designed to improve lighting in games due to its use of DLSS 3.
If you’re not sure what DLSS 3 is, it’s basically an AI-powered performance multiplier. Nvidia claims that it can be up to 4x the performance of brute-force rendering. It is coming to engines like Unity and Unreal Engine as well. DLSS stands for Deep Learning Super Sampling.
Additionally, DLSS 3 has introduced Optical Multi Frame Generation, which generates new frames and not just pixels. Nvidia says that it will deliver “astounding” performance boosts.
DLSS Frame Generation can even boost frame rates even if a game is bottlenecked by the GPU.
Nvidia says that 35 games/applications will support DLSS 3 at launch, including A Plague Tale: Requiem and Cyberpunk 2077.
