NVIDIA has finally lifted the embargo and allowed specialized resources to publish reviews of the NVIDIA graphics card
What is known
Ada Lovelace generation model equipped with 5nm chipAD103 with 9728 stream processors and 76 tracing cores is the best. The amount of RAM is 16 GB (GDDR6X), the frequency is 2.8 GHz, and the bandwidth is 22 GB / s per pin. The total throughput of the accelerator is 716.8 GB/s. NVIDIA appreciated the novelty in S1199. Its predecessor, the GeForce RTX 699, has a starting price of $699.

GeForce RTX 4080 leaves no chance for the video cardTuring generations. On average, it outperforms its predecessor by 1.5 times in games at 4K UHD resolution. Moreover, the GeForce RTX 4080 is 20% faster than the $1999 GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. From the GeForce RTX 4090 for $ 1599, our heroine is behind on average by the same 20%.
