According to mydrivers.com, the price future graphics card NVIDIA RTX 4090 might be from 1899 dollars at launch, which is $400 more than the RTX 3090. A price that is therefore still increasing, even if you have to consider the higher cost of TSMC’s chips on the N5 (5 nm) manufacturing node. In addition, the performance gained on this generation of RTX 4000 cards would be in a large range of +100 to +200% performance. Finally, Ray Tracing performance would also be increased considerably. Remember that according to some, the Ray Tracing performance of the RTX 4060 would be equivalent to the RTX 3090 Ti.
Let’s not get carried away too quickly, the price of the RTX 4000s remains a big unknown
Many other rumors that we may not have dealt with given the current state of the GPU market reported prices easily exceeding $2,000 for the biggest future RTX 4000. But in a context of increased card availability with less demand from miners, prices have been down for several weeks/months now. On the other hand, consider that the price might be quite different from the $1899 announced by mydrivers.com. But it’s been a long time since we’ve seen such a “low” estimate, in all relativity. Moreover, even if this price is proven, it will concern the Founders Edition, custom cards can then easily cross the $2000 mark. And then remember that in France we have the RTX 3090 Ti FE at 2249 euros while it is at $1999.
We end by recalling that the first RTX 4000s would hit the market in September with the RTX 4070, RTX 4080 and RTX 4090. These GPUs will double the number of shaders from just 10,496 on the RTX 3090 to 18,432 FP32 cores on the RTX 4090. Anyway, let’s still wait to see what it will really be like for the price, there are still several months ahead of us before getting there.
