NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU rumored to offer twice as much performance as RTX 30 Series

If the most recent leak from QbitLeaks is to be believed, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards will significantly improve gaming and app performance. However, the same leaker has since shared a picture of what is likely the first clear view of the Founders Edition design of the RTX 40 series and is now providing us with performance data for an unidentified RTX 40 series graphics card built on the Ada Lovelace architecture.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SKU from which these performance figures are taken is not specified, but it seems likely that we are looking at either the RTX 4090 or the RTX 4080, both of which were rumoured to deliver over a 2x performance improvement over their RTX 30 predecessors.

The stats, which would indicate that they represent the performance of the RTX 4080, were not based on the flagship SKU, according to the leaker. He has shared another image from the GTC presentation, showing what appears to be the RTX 4080 adjacent to the flagship RTX 4090.

Three applications for productivity and six games are part of the performance metrics. The games’ settings are not given, but the leaker claims that all of them had RTX (Ray Tracing) enabled and that the resolution was 4K. According to the leaker, DLSS wasn’t employed for these experiments.

Control, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, Minecraft, Quake II RTX, Dying Light 2, and Cyberpunk 2077 are some of the games available. The performance of all of these titles is expected to represent the RTX 40 series’ best case scenario because they all significantly favour NVIDIA GPUs.

The real figures indicate improvements of up to 2-2.2x in the majority of games, however Minecraft with RTX displays an 80% performance increase. Performance also sits at or above 2x in programmes like Autodesk Arnold, Blender, and Chaos V-Ray, which is an impressive improvement over the previous iteration.
