Possible specifications of RTX 4090 and RTX 4070 graphics card revealed
As you know, Nvidia is currently working on developing the next generation of RTX 40 graphics cards based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. There has not been much news about these products so far, but today the famous revealer Kopite7kimi posted more details about the RTX 4090 and RTX 4070 cards on Twitter. According to the description provided, the RTX 40 series has insane specifications and performance compared to the current generation (amp). Stay tuned to Lyon Tak.
In this regard, Kopite7kimi on its Twitter page introduced the possible specifications of two graphics cards RTX 4090 and RTX 4070. In a new update from this whistleblower, we now see more and more complete information. The two cards are said to use the AD102 and AD104 optimized graphics processors, respectively.
RTX 4090 – Nvidia Sleeping Monster
There have already been rumors about the RTX 4090 Ti in cyberspace, referring to the AD102 GPU. By comparing this information and the details mentioned above, it is possible to get the standard version of the 4090 equipped with the same chip. The main specifications of the AD102 GPU include 18,432,000 CUDA cores.
In addition, Nvidia appears to have increased L2 cache capacity in the next generation; The GPU will be equipped with a total of 96 MB of L2 cache, which is a 16-fold increase in capacity compared to the current generation GA102 chip. The new Green Team Monster will have 24GB of GDDR6X memory at 21 Gbps, 384-bit interface bus and more than 1TB of bandwidth.
According to the specifications provided, it is not surprising if this card has a high thermal capacity. The report said that the thermal power of the reference model RTX 4090 is about 600 watts, which may increase in custom models. As we saw earlier, this happened to a graphics card like the RTX 3090 Ti, and even the custom versions offered higher thermal power than the reference version. For this reason, the same can be said for Ada Lovelace-based cards.
When the power required by graphics cards exceeds 600 watts, manufacturers are likely to switch to hybrid coolers (instead of traditional pneumatic coolers). By comparison, the RTX 4090 has a 33% increase in heat compared to the RTX 3090 Ti, so it is expected that this card will need a stronger cooler.
Take a look at the possible specifications of the RTX 4070 graphics card
The next option is Nvidia RTX 4070 graphics card, which according to the leaked information is equipped with AD104 graphics processor. The processor will have a total of 7680 CUDA cores and 48 MB of L2 cache. The card uses 12 GB of GDDR6 RAM with a 192-bit interface bus and has a thermal power of 300 watts. Given the GDDR6 chip here, it will likely have a memory speed of 16 to 18 Gbps. Also, the bandwidth of this model reaches 400 Gbps.
RTX 4070 graphics card with 12 GB of RAM and 300 watts of thermal power can be an attractive option. By comparing the technical specifications of this model, you can get the performance of RTX 4070 almost equal to the RTX 3080 Ti graphics card of the current generation.
RTX 40 graphics cards based on the Ada Lovelace architecture are expected to make the big leap (like cards based on the Pascal architecture). The exact time for the introduction of these cards to the market has not been announced yet, but forecasts indicate that Nvidia plans to unveil these products in the second half of 2022. What do you think of the RTX 40 graphics card? Can these products offer a significant leap over the previous generation?
