Introduced last year, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 and 4080 greatly enhance the performance of graphics cards with the new Ada Lovelance architecture and DLSS 3 technology. Moving into 2023, NVIDIA will take advantage of the eve of CES 2023 to release the series notebook GPU RTX 40, coupled with the fifth generation Max-Q technology, to get the best between display, system performance, power consumption, battery life and parallel audio.
The notebook version of the RTX 40 series has a total of 5 GPUs. The top RTX 4090 is equipped with 9,728 CUDA cores, the Boost clock is from 1,455-2,040 MHz, and the memory is less than the desktop version, which is GDDR6 from 16 GB . There are also RTX 4080, 4070, 4060 and 4050 with as few as 2,560 CUDA cores and 6GB of GDDR6 memory. There will be more than 170 gaming laptops and creator laptops equipped with RTX 40 laptop GPUs from different brands starting in February.
Fifth generation Max-Q technology
The launch of the RTX 40 series notebook GPU also introduces the fifth generation of Max-Q technology, including notebook-optimized DLSS 3, including silent mode and battery boost function, improving performance, sound effects and battery life up to twice. manufacturers will use the lowest voltage GDDR6 memory in history, combined with three-speed memory control, can dynamically switch to a low-power memory state.
Cyberpunk 2077 increases performance by 4x
According to NVIDIA’s chart, compared with the flagship RTX 3080 Ti of the previous generation laptop version, the RTX 4090 laptop version has a 2K screen, the highest gaming settings, and DLSS highest quality mode and generation technology of frames. the performance can be increased more than 4 times, and the “Microsoft Flight Simulator” has also been improved more than two times. The rendering performance of the 3D software “Blender” will be almost doubled.
RTX 4090/4080 supports up to three 4K screens for 60fps display, which is enough for pro-level simulation driving games. Pricing for flagship notebooks using this level of GPU starts at US$1,999 (about HK$15,586) and will be available on February 8th.
As for the mainstream RTX 4070, 4060 and 4050, NVIDIA claims that it has higher performance than the previous generation flagship GPU, but it only uses 1/3 of the GPU power, and 1440p (2K) can also provide 800 fps smooth picture. fps below this GPU level. The RTX 4050 entry-level laptop is priced at US$999 (about HK$7,789) and will be available on February 22.
