RTX Tremendous: Nvidia might be doing it once more, however otherwise than beforehand thought

There are new rumors across the Nvidia RTX-40 Tremendous sequence. In the present day on provide: a colourful chip combine

There are rising indications that Nvidia will revive the Tremendous designation first used with the RTX-2000 sequence. Now, nevertheless, there are new hints as to what precisely doable RTX-4000 Tremendous playing cards may appear like (by way of Videocardz).

They are going to most likely be launched subsequent yr as a spot filler till the RTX-5000 sequence. This new GPU technology from Nvidia isn’t anticipated till early 2025 as issues stand.

All particulars of the leak at a look

The X consumer (previously Twitter) kopite7kimi not too long ago poured new gasoline into the flaming dialogue surrounding the GPU leaks of the previous few days and weeks.

Nonetheless, it needs to be mentioned: Nvidia typically passes on completely different info to enterprise companions or related individuals, which may find yourself in contradictory rumors. Furthermore, not all quickly deliberate card specs make it into last merchandise ultimately.

Regardless of that, it may be assumed that there’s a grain of reality in all of the leaks, or a minimum of a sure primary thought of which playing cards Nvidia desires to complete creating for the market ultimately. If the present leak is true, Nvidia’s new tremendous playing cards would appear like this:

However no 20 GByte for the 4080 Tremendous?

So in response to consumer kopite7kimi, it could possibly be Nvidia’s plan to combine the chip base on the RTX 4000 Tremendous sequence. Nonetheless, there’s a sure caveat right here as properly, as a result of usually Nvidia solely releases such playing cards on the Chinese language market.

In line with the leaker, the RTX 4080 Tremendous would use each AD103 and AD102 as its GPU. The previous is used on the RTX 4080 with out the Tremendous addition, whereas the latter is used on the RTX 4090.

In distinction, there was a leak within the run-up that spoke of an RTX 4080 Tremendous together with 20.0 GBytes of VRAM (as an alternative of 16.0 GBytes as within the RTX 4080).

Nonetheless, a reminiscence bus with a width of 160 bits must be used to create a mix of AD103 GPU and this quantity of VRAM, as a result of the alternatively required 320 bits are usually not possible with this GPU and its most of 256 bits.

Thus, the RTX 4080 Tremendous can be at an obstacle in comparison with the RTX 4080 with a 256-bit reminiscence bus. If kopite7kimi’s assumptions turn into Nvidia’s precise plan, this could subsequently converse in opposition to an RTX 4080 Tremendous with 20.0 GBytes of VRAM.

The place does the RTX 4070 Tremendous place itself?

The leaker kopite7kimi additionally revealed doable particulars a few second blended variation: In line with this, the RTX 4070 Tremendous can even be mixed with the AD103 chip. The AD104 chip could possibly be put in as a second possibility.

Ultimately, it’s essential how a lot the chips will likely be trimmed. Whereas earlier leaks indicated that the RTX 4070 Tremendous would place itself forward of the RTX 4070 Ti with AD104 chip, kopite7kimi assumes that it’s going to place itself simply behind it:

What’s the issue in changing GPU chips?

If two completely different GPUs are to run in variants of 1 card, it have to be ensured that they nonetheless run as identically as doable and that there aren’t any frequency or efficiency variations. In any other case, the playing cards must be provided below a distinct merchandise identify.

Usually, Nvidia solely makes use of such playing cards on the Chinese language market, for the reason that US and European markets are extra strictly regulated.

The benefit for Nvidia is that it could use its personal chips extra flexibly. For the top buyer, alternatively, it’s not precisely which chip is used that counts, however the efficiency and the general package deal.

What do you concentrate on doable chip mixtures? Do you assume such options would final within the European market? And basically, what do you concentrate on the thought of Nvidia reviving the Tremendous designation first launched with the RTX-2000 sequence? A smart measure, even from the top buyer’s viewpoint, or finally uninteresting for avid gamers? Be happy to jot down it within the feedback!
