During the GeForce Beyond keynote speech at GTC 2022, Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun revealed that it has increased the frequency of Ada Lovalace GPU to above 3 GHz in the laboratory. His original words were: "Ada's efficiency is incredible, and at least doubled its performance at a comparable power to the Ampere GPU. You can try pushing Ada because we've already pushed it above 3 GHz in the lab."
will be replaced with TSMC's new 4N process node on the RTX 40 series Ada Lovelace GPU. Even if the public version card defaults to the 2.6 GHz main frequency, its energy efficiency and frequency improvements are quite gratifying.
As for the AIB partners, we expect more SKUs with factory overclocking of 2.7 - 2.8 GHz, but it is actually expected to reach more than 3 GHz.
as a reference, the non-public GPU of the RTX 30 series Ampere RTX 3090 Ti is around 1.8 - 1.9 GHz, but it can actually exceed 2 GHz in the game.
It should be pointed out that such an exaggerated performance improvement also means that the RTX 40 series Ada Lovelace GPU needs to consume a lot of power and generate more heat.
However, the Founders Edition public version PCB + radiator design displayed by Green Factory has left a deep impression on us as always.
Nvidia said it further optimized the duct of the dual-axial flow fan, increased the fan size and fan blade volume by 10%, and upgraded the RTX 4090 to 23 phase power supply.
In addition, thanks to the lower memory temperature, the newer and more powerful Ada Lovelace GPU can maintain a cool operating temperature with the support of the original radiator and retain excellent overclocking potential for gamers.
Finally, the RTX 40 series FE graphics cards use PCIe 5.0 16-pin connectors that meet the new generation ATX 3.0 power specifications to reduce cable clutter caused by the old three 8-pin connectors.
When using high-quality power cords, players can only use a single connector to meet the power consumption needs of RTX 40 series graphics cards. In addition, many commercial power manufacturers have also opened the application link for 16-pin adapter cables.
It is reported that brands including ASUS (ASUS), Cooler Master, Quanhan (FSP), MSI (MSI), ThermalTake, iBuyPower, etc. will launch the new generation of ATX 3.0 power supply starting from October this year.
Although Nvidia AIB graphics card partners did not share the final frequency and TGP/TBP power consumption of their non-public designs, we are expected to learn more in the coming days.
