Overhauled NVIDIA RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPUs reportedly up to 2.6x faster vs RTX 40 cards courtesy of revised Streaming Multiprocessors and 3 GHz+ clock speeds

[Redaktion]

NVIDIA debuted the RTX 40 "Ada Lovelace" boards late last year. While the mid-range RTX 4070 and RTX 4060/Ti are still not up for sale, the rumor mill has already moved on to the next big thing. To that end, RedGamingTech has published a slew of information about the upcoming RTX 50 "Blackwell" boards including preliminary specs and performance targets.

Bought 4090, but nothing really worth playing, kind of regretting the upgrade. When I bought 3090 at least there was Cyberpunk which I liked very much, and it demonstrated ray tracing really well, turning it into best game ever really, hope there will be something like Cyberpunk when 5090 comes around...

Why are you comparing the 7900xtx and the 4090? 7900xtx is cheaper than the 4080 so your comparison falls flat.

2x-2.6x? Like rtx 4000 series is 300% quicker with dlss3 enabled? Yea right, it will be your usual 30-50% performance increase. Sounds like another click-bait speculation ridden article sadly.

2.6x for Hopper or DLSS on Geforce. Little for raw performance of Geforce.

I mean they aren't lying because of "up to" part so even 0.01x is, technically looking at it, up to 2.6x.

But yeah, (up to) 2.6x more expensive is infinitely more likely to happen than to actually be (up to) 2.6x faster.

You're missing the point.

The previewer simply compared last gens flagship versus flagship, regardless of price.

In context, the comparison is appropriate.

This isnt a price vs performance article.

Who hurt you? Stay on topic.

Oh, but path tracing cyberpunk 2077 releases next week. (Or 2 weeks from now, cant recall.)

It will make our 4090's bleed. 😀
