Within the next few months, the next generation of graphics cards should be here, and it could be good timing as the market itself has been healing after a tumultuous couple of years. With graphics card prices falling significantly, getting hold of an AMD or Nvidia GPU is no longer as expensive as it has been. As the next era approaches, there are rumors and speculations a-plenty, and there's been some interesting information unveiled which suggests how fast team green's upcoming flagship card could be.According to industry leaker kopite7kimi, as spotted by Videocardz, it's possible that the upcoming RTX 4090 from Nvidia could have a base clock speed of 2235 MHz and 2520 MHz boost, with an actual in-game clock speed of 2750 MHz. Given that the RTX 3090 has a boost clock of 1695 MHz, that means the upcoming Ada Lovelace hardware could be nearly twice as fast as its flagship predecessor. Obviously, there's more to a graphics card than clock speed, but it still suggests that there could be a major upgrade between this and the next gen.However, it should be made clear that this is just a rumor and despite kopite7kimi being known for hardware leaks, the information provided has not been confirmed and should be considered speculation only. This is also not the first time something like this has been said about team green's upcoming graphics card. It's been recently rumored that the Nvidia RTX 4090 could have more performance overall than previously thought. Whether any of this turns out to be true remains to be seen, but the tech giant has yet to make any formal announcements about Lovelace's specs.
It seems as though the company could do with a win, as the recent Nvidia GTX 1630 turned out to be disappointing. Based on the Turing architecture from a couple of generations ago, the 1630 is apparently "severely lacking" when it comes to performance, but from what kopite7kimi has been saying, the likes of the RTX 4090 could be impressive.
With AMD gearing up to launch RDNA 3, with a possible October launch, each will be looking to leave the competition behind as the industry moves closer to the next GPU generation. Generally speaking, Nvidia is usually just ahead of its biggest rival, but there's still everything to play for, and it doesn't look like there's going to be much threat from Intel, which is still struggling to properly release its long-awaited Arc desktop cards.
