Flagship graphics card should have a much, much bigger launch volume than Ampere
graphics card is about to go on sale, and the latest spillage around the GPU makes it sound impressive on a number of fronts, including the volume of launch stock., who claims first of all to have word from a number of sources on how much stock of the flagship GPU will be on shelves come next Wednesday . As ever, apply liberal seasoning to what is essentially informed speculation here.
MLID also shared word from the grapevine on the performance of the RTX 4090, gleaned by chats with reviewers, though the leaker obviously doesn’t go into any specifics. What he does let us know is that generally the RTX 4090 is around 80% faster than the RTX 3090, but in some scenarios it’s quicker than that; this is rasterization performance, meaning standard graphics. For ray tracing, expect bigger gains, generally speaking over twice as fast as the RTX 3090.
All of this is pretty exciting news for those with enough money to fork out for an RTX 4090. Talk of much better performance per Watt will go down well, while remembering this is relative to Ampere. Let’s not kid ourselves that the RTX 4090 isn’t going to be very power-hungry, because we know for sure it is, as a 450W TGP graphics card – before we consider what it might spike to when pushed .
As for stock levels, it’s interesting to hear that there’ll theoretically be such a good quantity of units available right off the bat. The RTX 4090 may not sell out on day one, apparently, such is the incoming volume, and that’s definitely unusual for a GPU launch these days .
