Geforce RTX 4000: Nvidia teases “#ProjectBeyond” [Update]

Original item: The official starting signal for the Geforce RTX 4000 has probably been given. Nvidia got the marketing campaign rolling with a “#ProjectBeyond” on the social media channels. It is assumed that this is a campaign for the Ada Geforces, which are scheduled to start in the fall and will complement the major launches of AMD and Intel processors. You won’t be able to beat around the bush for too long if you still want to see products on the market this year.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote at the GTC (GPU Technology Conference) is in 12 days. There is a suspicion that the opportunity is being used. The rumor mill is expecting at least three models to be announced: the Geforce RTX 4090, Geforce RTX 4080 and Geforce RTX 4070. However, there are still doubts as to whether they will go on sale at the same time. So far, the consensus has been that the cards appear staggered, which is probably also due to the sluggish sale of the Geforce RTX 3000. The Geforce RTX 3090 has had the biggest discounts lately and the Geforce RTX 4090 is the card expected to be first.

In the end, there remains the possibility that “#ProjectBeyond” is another theme that Nvidia is presenting at GTC. For example, a new technology. However, the thought did not really want to assert itself in the rumours.

You now have a pretty clear picture of the cards from leaks. While details are still subject to change, you have a rough idea of ​​where the journey is headed. A Geforce RTX 4080 should deliver about the same performance as a Geforce RTX 3090 currently delivers. On paper, the Geforce RTX 4090 offers almost 70 percent more shaders, but should only bring a little more than 21 percent more performance to the road in synthetic measurement series. The Geforce RTX 4070, meanwhile, has around 21 percent fewer FP32 shaders and is said to be around 27 percent slower in synthetic benchmarks. While the technical data is probably reasonably reliable, one should remain cautious with the assessments, because a lot will also depend on how games use the newer architecture with larger caches and ray tracing in particular should also run better with Ada.

Beyond Geforce: The hype train leaves the station

Update: There is increasing evidence that “#ProjectBeyond” has to do with the new graphics cards of the Ada generation. Nvidia has confirmed the event with a second teaser that says “look beyond”. One can probably assume that the GTC will be used for the announcement. On September 20th, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. you should be ready. Until then, Nvidia’s guerrilla marketing will continue. At the latest with a “secret message” that says “Beyond Geforce” in decrypted form, the hype train has left the station. On the German side, “More than Geforce” remains mysterious, while the keynote announcement becomes more concrete:

“PC fans, don’t miss the Geforce Beyond special! On September 20th, Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of Nvidia, will open his GTC 2022 keynote with our latest breakthroughs in gaming, creation and graphics technology.” But it’s not the first time that Nvidia has announced its keynote in this way. “It showcases the latest in gaming, creative and graphics technology,” sounds familiar. A troll action that ended up unveiling a new shield or cloud gaming feature would sure be a laugh.
