According to the leaker, Ada Lovelace is definitely the next gaming series from NVIDIA. In fact, the entire project has been finalized and it should not change, claims the leaker. This means that the specifications that were floating around the web for the past few months may very well be final, however, there are no details on architecture tape-out yet.

Furthermore, the leaker is confident that the architecture will be build using TSMC 5nm process technology, but he is not sure if that's N5 or N5P. Previous rumors only pointed towards 5nm but it wasn't sure if NVIDIA will be using Samsung or TSMC for their 5nm product.

The most prominent NVIDIA leaker "kopite7kimi", who correctly predicted the specs of the entire Ampere architecture lineup months in advance, is no longer sure that NVIDIA will indeed use Ada Lovelace for GeForce RTX 40 series, as indicated by the tweets he made back in May. NVIDIA's strategy may depend on the performance of the competing chips, mainly AMD RDNA3 which are to be the first MCM gaming designs.

Kopite says that there is a possibility NVIDIA will launch gaming Hooper GPU such as GH202 instead of AD102.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Hopefully I can actually buy one.

[Ulysses 31]

Hope to get the founder's edition this time.

 

[jhjfss]

 

[Nvzman]

Really hope these cards are still PCIE 3.0 compatable, i literally just built a computer with a 3.0 motherboard...

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Crypto mining is currently kinda dead so maybe we actually get a chance to buy these cards...

 

[Outlier]

Will we be needing a 2000W power supply soon? /s

I find it suspect that these GPUs that aren't even a year old year are already on the way out.

This has definitely been the generation to avoid, even though we've barely had the choice.

I wanna see what AMDs got.

Plus live right next to a power plant and prepare for your house to a sauna inside

 

[Retinoid]

2x in FLOPS maybe but not real world gaming performance - unless they are talking about RT performance which I guess is possible, but definitely not traditional rasterization.

Crypto mining will never be dead but all the bandwagon jumpers are certainly being shaken out.

The smart guys are the ones who mine during periods when the crypto prices are low and the frenzy has died down.

 

[zcaa0g]

I don't want a "Founder's Edition", I want a "Widely available to purchase through traditional means Edition".

 

[Excess]

Good point about the current offerings and how well they're doing. Nvidia doesn't seem to rush a new line unless the current one if underperforming. That happened with the 20 series.

It's always been like this.

 

[lh032]

Can it handle New World?

 

[OverHeat]

Day 0

 

[nkarafo]

All i want is a decent x60 mid-tier card to upgrade my current 1060 without having to sell my house.

 

[kyliethicc]

I can see it now

The RTX 4090 - 70 TFLOPs, 32 GB RAM @ 1 TB/s, 400 W TDP... all for just $2500 lol

 

[Braag]

We might see them late 2022.
Hopefully the shortage wont be as bad as 30* series. I say as bad cause there will definitely be a shortage but I don't know how bad it will be.

 

[UnNamed]

The shift to TSMC is a huge boost for Nvidia, now we can see their latest powerful cards with the best manufacturing process.

Can't wait














to not spend 2000k for a GPU.

 

[Dream-Knife]

Twice as powerful? I highly doubt it.

 

[skneogaf]

4090 will be no more 50 percent faster than the 3090.

Pretty sure that's how they prefer to do it.

 

[Graciaus]

Start brainstorming a way for actual gamers to preorder them. The card is irrelevant if I can't buy one just like the 30 series.

 

[Kenpachii]

They will

from 7 to 5nm on tsmc from there whatever shit they are on now could very well mean 2x increase. I could easily see this.

 

[Pagusas]

They will 100% be. It's needed for comparability and 99% of the market is still on 3.0. There is no physically changes to the interface for 5.0, so 3.0 has to stay in for full legacy and comparability support

 

[skneogaf]

They will

I'm sure it could but seems like nvidia won't unless amd pushes it too.

 

[Kenpachii]

AMD is pushing them

 

[Kuranghi]

I used to always go X/XX70 series but since I love 4K I really should go XX80 series from now on. I still wish I'd bought a 1080 ti back when I got my 1080, I didnt realise how much of a jump up it was for (at the time) £150 more than what I paid for the 1080, ie ~25% more.

 

[samoilaaa]

AMD is pushing them

there is a rumour that they will use tsmc only on their tesla cards and samsung on the rest

 

[Droxcy]

PC specs gonna be crazy in the next couple years including budget

 

[Jibran#one]

It is literally impossible to get a 3090 yet here we are talking about 4090
At this rate we will only see these cards on YouTube channels just like the 30 series

 

[twilo99]

The shift to TSMC is a huge boost for Nvidia, now we can see their latest powerful cards with the best manufacturing process.

They learned their lesson with the 30 series, so yeah, back to TSMC they go...

 

[Myths]

This time around it may very well be worth the money sink if performance (twice a 3090) and reliability is there.

 

[dorkimoe]

another GPU i wont find

 

[iHaunter]

Really hope these cards are still PCIE 3.0 compatable, i literally just built a computer with a 3.0 motherboard...

Why would you want to gimp technology just because your PC is old?

 

[Celcius]

Hopefully these wont be as power hungry and hot as Ampere

 

[RoadHazard]

We're getting pretty close to the physical limit of how small these nodes can get right? Electrons will start jumping to the wrong places etc. What are they gonna do then? Just make larger GPUs? I guess faster is also an option, but then you get heat concerns instead.

 

[Ritsumei2020]

Is it going to exceed the Deck raw power per pixel?

 

[Dacon]

4090 $2k msrp incoming

If you're lucky

 

[DaleinCalgary]

You wont be able to find one

 

[SatansReverence]

Narrator: The 4090 was not 2x the 3090

 

[SLB1904]

I'll wait for the 5090 in 2023

 

[Velius]

COLD COCKED

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

4090 $2k msrp incoming

I hope so. Let's flip these bitches!

 

[Nvzman]

Why would you want to gimp technology just because your PC is old?

Its an MSI Z490 Gaming Edge Wifi for the i9-10900k, thats hardly a year old CPU and motherboard. How the fuck is that old? Being compatible isnt inherently gimping technology, go spew that bullshit in some PS5 --> PS4 port bitching thread

 

[Keihart]

i wonder for what tho, 8K gaming? more RTX?
i mean it, no way in hell any developer is gonna target anything higher than a 20 something if we are lucky.

 

[PhoenixTank]

Really hope these cards are still PCIE 3.0 compatable, i literally just built a computer with a 3.0 motherboard...

Can't see why they wouldn't be. PCIE is fully forward & backward compatible AFAIK.

 

[BaneIsPain]

I already "skip" 3 series. Give me a chance to buy 4 series.

 

[GreatnessRD]

We might see them late 2022.
Hopefully the shortage wont be as bad as 30* series. I say as bad cause there will definitely be a shortage but I don't know how bad it will be.

Hopefully, we'll be on our way out of the shortage by that time. I know Intel's CEO said it might last until '23, but I'm hoping the world will be able to ramp up and keep the pace for the most part by the end of '22. The next GPU series with Navi 33 and Lovelace should be a fun one. Too bad I got this 6800 XT and gonna sit it out anyway, lol.
