Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Reveals Up in Early Retail Listings

In line with a Fb publish by Kccshop and a Twitter publish by @momomo_us, three retailers have reportedly acquired orders of 24GB RTX 4090 graphics playing cards from Gigabyte. The retailers encompass KCCshop, Computer systems Perth, and Perth Laptop and Workplace Provides — the primary from Vietnam, the opposite two from Australia. Whereas these are seemingly early listings with inflated costs, all indications are that the RTX 4090 will quickly be vying for a spot among the many finest graphics playing cards.

Solely the Australian retailers listed pricing, and changing these to U.S. {dollars} suggests we may see costs of over $3,000 for the subsequent technology playing cards. On the similar time, these listings could be in opposition to Nvidia coverage and break no matter embargo may be in place, and so they’re very seemingly not even near official costs.

Coincidentally, these orders have appeared proper after Nvidia started teasing its “GeForce Past” program a couple of days in the past. There’s little doubt that Nvidia will unveil its upcoming Ada Lovelace structure and not less than one new GPU at GTC. Early specification hypothesis is in fact operating rampant, and you’ll examine our Nvidia RTX 40-series and Ada Lovelace GPUs hub for additional particulars. As ever with leaks and listings of this kind, deal with every part with a wholesome dose of skepticism.

The Fb itemizing from Kccshop offers us with three mannequin names, the N4090WF3-24GB, N4090Gaming OC-24GD, and N4090AORUS M-24GD. From the Aorus branding alone its straightforward to verify these are Gigabyte mannequin numbers for supposed RTX 4090 SKUs. These mannequin numbers additionally verify the long-expected reminiscence capability of 24GB for the RTX 4090.

The Australian listings are the extra fascinating and informative. They supply precise pricing for 2 of the three 4090 SKUs, the place Kccshop solely gave mannequin names. The SKUs from Perth Computer systems and Workplace Provides present the Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 4090 priced at $4,550 AUS (together with gross sales tax), whereas the Aorus mannequin runs a barely cheaper $3,900 AUS (together with gross sales tax). Straight transformed to USD and these playing cards are priced at $3112 and $2666 respectively. That appears a bit odd as properly, as usually the Aorus model is Gigabyte’s high mannequin.

Computer systems Perth in the meantime has a single Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC itemizing for $4270 AUS, which interprets into $2919 USD. Once more, do not take these costs too severely, as there is not any indication these are anyplace near the official MSRP. The RTX 4090 could possibly be considerably costlier in comparison with the present RTX 3090 Ti, which now begins at simply $1,100 (opens in new tab), however we would be very shocked to see Nvidia transcend the 3090 Ti’s launch worth of $1,999 — except it releases a brand new Titan card.

Forgetting the pricing for a second, these listings are very sturdy indications that GeForce RTX 4090 playing cards are inbound and may launch subsequent month. That jives with the seemingly GTC announcement of “GeForce Past” on September 20, simply 11 days away. Nvidia’s teasers have made no trace of what GPUs may be revealed, however GTC targets creators and machine studying greater than gaming, so an RTX 4090 unveiling will surely make sense.

We’ll know quickly sufficient what Nvidia will truly do, and there is a good likelihood Nvidia will present some extra particulars on the Ada Lovelace and RTX 40 sequence structure, and even perhaps concrete specs for the RTX 4090. Possibly we’ll hear a couple of new Titan as properly, alongside hopefully much less dear playing cards like an RTX 4080. It is thrilling occasions for our GPU benchmarks hierarchy, for sure.
