NVIDIA’s upcoming mainstream graphics card, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, has revealed its expected clock speeds and compute performance. Videocardz’s most recent compute figures are based on recently rumoured specifications and clock speeds. TFC Fantasy, TechpowerUp’s GPU database editor, reported the clock frequencies of various models, while Kopite7kimi posted the specifications for the RTX 4060 Ti graphics card.
According to reports, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will have a base clock of 2310 MHz and a boost clock of 2535 MHz, with premium models capable of clocking up to 2685 MHz.
RTX 4060 Ti will have a base/boost of 2310/2535 with premium aib cards up to 2685.
Edit: 4060 or 4060 Ti, Gigabyte leak changed things, it has AD106
The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is expected to use the AD106-350-A1 GPU core, a scaled-down version of the full AD106 graphics chip, with 34 SMs or 4352 CUDA cores, an 8 GB GDDR6 memory running at 18 Gbps across a 128-bit bus interface, and 288 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU also has 32 MB of L2 cache, which is an 8x increase over the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.

According to leaked PCB images, the RTX 4060 Ti, like the RTX 4070, will continue to use the PCIe Gen5 12VHPWR connector because NVIDIA wants to standardise it across the entire lineup. In addition, the graphics card will have compact PCB designs in both reference and non-reference flavours. The card is expected to have a TGP of 160W, which is 20% less than its predecessor, the RTX 3060 Ti.
Using the rumoured “reference” boost frequency as a guide, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti should provide around 22 TFLOPs of compute performance, with AIB models pushing it closer to 24 TFLOPs.

Based on the numbers, it appears that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card will perform similarly to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. The 3070 Ti debuted at $599 US, so the 4060 Ti would have to be priced around $399 US to be a worthy successor to the 3060 Ti, which debuted at the same price. The main issue is that, while the card performs well at 1080p, higher resolutions would be difficult due to its 128-bit bus interface and reliance on slower G6 memory rather than G6X memory.

More Game Ready Goodies and Upgrades
The NVIDIA Game Ready Driver for the Diablo IV open betaalso adds other features, including:
During its GTC Spring 2023 keynote, Nvidia announced a new dual-GPU product, the H100 NVL. This isn’t going to bring back SLI or multi-GPU gaming, and it’s not going to be one of the best graphics cards for gaming, but it is aimed at the growing AI market. According to Nvidia’s information and images, the H100 NVL (H100 NVLink) will have three NVLink connectors on the top, with the two adjacent cards slotting into separate PCIe slots.
Although the three NVLink options were already available with the H100 PCIe, the H100 NVL introduces some additional changes and will only be offered as a paired card solution. It’s an intriguing change of pace, with a focus on inference performance rather than training, perhaps to accommodate servers that don’t support Nvidia’s SXM option. There are some other obvious differences as well, and the NVLink connections should help fill in the missing bandwidth that NVSwitch provides on the SXM solutions.
Previous H100 SXM and PCIe solutions included 80GB of memory (HBM3 for SXM, HBM2e for PCIe), but the actual package includes six stacks, each with 16GB of memory. It’s unclear whether one stack is completely disabled, or if it’s used for ECC or something else.
What we do know is that the Nvidia H100 NVL will have 94GB per GPU and a total of 188GB HBM3.

We assume the “missing” 2GB per GPU is for ECC or has something to do with yields, though the latter seems a little strange. Power is slightly higher than the H100 PCIe, at 350-400 watts per GPU (configurable), representing a 50W increase. Meanwhile, total performance is effectively double that of the H100 SXM: 134 teraflops of FP64, 1,979 teraflops of TF32, and 7,916 teraflops of FP8 (as well as 7,916 teraops INT8).
Essentially, this appears to be the same core design as the H100 PCIe, which also supports NVLink, but with more GPU cores enabled and 17.5% more memory. Because of the switch to HBM3, the memory bandwidth is also significantly higher than on the H100 PCIe. H100 NVL has 3.9 TB/s per GPU and a total of 7.8 TB/s.
For partner and certified systems, Nvidia only supports 2 to 4 pairs of H100 NVL cards due to the fact that this is a dual-card solution and each card takes up two slots. Though a single H100 PCIe can occasionally be found for about $28,000, that remains to be seen.
ASUS has officially announced the release of the GeForce RTX 4080 Noctua Edition graphics card, which features a cool and quiet design. Following the success of the Noctua Edition ASUS GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 3080, the Noctua Edition of ASUS’ GeForce RTX 4080 is the third graphics card to feature Noctua fans and a heatsink co-engineered by Noctua.
Thermals and acoustics of ASUS’ original TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 could be significantly improved for the Noctua Edition by switching from the stock of three slim 110mm fans to two of Noctua’s award-winning NF-A12x25 PWM 120mm units and to a more elaborate, tailored heatsink with a vapour chamber and five instead of two 8mm diameter heat pipes.

While the heatsinks of the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 Noctua Editions have already been tailored in terms of size and heatpipe layout to take advantage of the superior aerodynamic performance of the Noctua NF-A12x25 fans, the heatsink of the RTX 4080 Noctua Edition has been completely redesigned to achieve maximum thermal efficiency.
credit: ASUS
The Noctua Edition significantly outperforms the original TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 in terms of cooling performance by including a vapour chamber and transferring thermal energy to five instead of two 8mm heat pipes. As a result, it can run at slower fan speeds and, when combined with the class-leading efficiency of the NF-A12x25 fans, it can run quieter than any other air-cooled card in its class.
credit: ASUS
Running the fans at maximum speed, as may be required in worst-case scenarios such as fully stressing the card in poorly ventilated cases or with extremely high ambient temperatures, results in a 14.9 dB reduction in noise levels (A). The Noctua Edition is 16.8 dB(A) quieter and slightly hotter (0.8°C) at medium fan speeds (70% PWM).
At low fan speeds (such as at typical auto settings with 23°C ambient temperature), the picture is similar, with nearly identical temperatures and a 4.8 dB(A) reduction in noise levels, making the already quiet original ASUS TUF Gaming card even quieter. In summary, the Noctua Edition reduces noise levels across the entire speed range, with the most noticeable improvement at medium to maximum fan speed of 15-17 dB(A) and around 5 dB(A) at lower speeds.
credit: ASUS
The GeForce RTX 4080 model, like the previous Noctua Edition cards, has a dual BIOS that allows customers to switch between a performance profile that provides the lowest GPU temperatures and a quiet profile that allows slightly higher temperatures to achieve the best possible acoustics. The quiet profile is set as the default to meet the needs of Noctua’s customers.
For enthusiasts who want to take things a step further, the included ASUS GPU Tweak III software offers additional options such as custom fan curves and undervolting.
credit: ASUS
The GeForce RTX 4080 Noctua Edition has a semi-passive fan control setup (ASUS 0dB technology) that can turn off the fans completely if the GPU temperature falls below 50°C. This means that in typical configurations with low to moderate ambient temperatures and well-ventilated cases, the card can operate completely passively at lower GPU loads such as office productivity tasks, web browsing, or even light gaming. Even when the GPU is under heavy load, such as when gaming or benchmarking, the fan speeds will remain extremely low as long as the ambient temperature inside the case isn’t too high.
Two unreleased NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Founders Edition graphics cards, the RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4060 Ti, have been photographed. We begin with images of the PCB and cooling for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Founders Edition graphics card. Most of you will recall that the card was not given the FE or Founders Edition treatment when it was first released, with the green team focusing on custom variants.
This is because the RTX 4070 Ti was originally going to be called the RTX 4080 12 GB, but the card received a lot of flak for using the 4080 naming scheme while offering a much lower and different performance tier than the RTX 4080 16 GB.
Because of the sudden “Unlaunching” and rebadging of the card, NVIDIA had little time to produce enough RTX 4070 Ti Founders Edition coolers for the launch, which was only a few weeks away, and thus decided to keep it an AIB-only option. However, this does not preclude NVIDIA from producing a Founders Edition model. The card featured a FE PCB and a cooling design.
Image Credits: KittyYYuko
With an 8+2+1 phase PCB design and a single 16-pin connector to boot it, the PCB was very compact. The GPU cooler was also shorter than the cooling solution used for the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 cards, with a copper base plate and numerous aluminium cooling fins surrounding the shroud, as well as a flow-through fan design with two fans.
The second card pictured by the same leaker, KittyYYuko, is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card, for which we only see the cooler.
The card says GeForce RTX 4060, but the leaker is certain it is the 4060 Ti, and we suspect it is a prototype FE model compatible with both the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 graphics cards. The RTX 4060 (Ti) graphics card has a flow-through design and a dual-slot form factor.
Image Credits: KittyYYuko
This FE variant appears to be much shorter than the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 cards, and the aluminium die-cast frame is thicker and has a more matte appearance than the high-end cards’ metallic and shiny surfaces. This card appears to use the 16-pin connector as well, but with a TDP rating close to 200W, as previously reported.
The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is expected to use the AD106-350-A1 GPU core, a scaled-down version of the full AD106 graphics chip, with 34 SMs or 4352 CUDA cores, an 8 GB GDDR6 memory running at 18 Gbps across a 128-bit bus interface, and 288 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU also has 32 MB of L2 cache, which is an 8x increase over the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
The green team is a giant when it comes to graphics developers and gaming, at GDC 2023, NVIDIA has a lot to say and here we will tell you all the latest announcements at the event. The two biggest highlights are, the new AI-Powered NVIDIA DLSS 3 comes to New AAA games including Diablo IV and DLSS Frame Generation Publicly Available for Developers at GDC!
“Neural graphics have revolutionized gaming since its introduction with NVIDIA DLSS, and we’re now taking it to new heights,” said Matt Wuebbling, vice president of global GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. “PC gaming super-franchises such as Diablo and Forza Horizon and Bethesda’s new Redfall are raising the bar for image quality with stunning graphics while using DLSS to keep gameplay smooth as silk.”
“Supporting smooth gameplay in Diablo IV is a priority for Blizzard,” said Michael Bukowski, Diablo IV technical director at Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re excited by the high frame rate of Diablo IV running on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series hardware and DLSS 3.”

The updated VM makes use of eight NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs, with the ability to scale up to thousands. It also houses 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and 16 channels of DDR5 DIMMs at 4800 MHz.
With this move, Microsoft hopes to bring some of the most cutting-edge, high-performance technology to AI startups, many of which will be comparing their own success stories to OpenAI’s recent success.
As the world strives to make artificial intelligence as reliable and accurate as possible, the ND H100 v5 VMs will need to be able to handle large amounts of training for extended periods of time. The new H100-powered VMs are now available for testing as the tech giant prepares to make them a standard offering in the Azure portfolio.
RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO review – Everything You Need to Know
The GPU nightmare we saw after pre-COVID did make us think about the PC industry as a whole but things have changed since last year and getting one at MSRP or even below is possible. NVIDIA launched the GeForce RTX 40-series in the last quarter and since then these massive GPUs have made their way into the market.
The new Ada Lovelace architecture and its GPUs are massive, they are fat yet bold, and perform significantly better than the last-gen Ampere, drawing similar to a bit more power. When you combine the new DLSS 3, exclusive on these RTX 40-series GPUs, the gaming performance skyrockets exceptionally.
“The age of RTX ray tracing and neural rendering is in full steam, and our new Ada Lovelace architecture takes it to the next level,” said Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s founder and CEO said during the launch of these cards. As we all know, RTX 4090 came to market earlier than the RTX 4080 and if you see average sales everywhere around the globe, the RTX 4090 with its premium price enjoyed better sales than the recently available RTX 4080.
Additionally, the RTX 40 Series GPUs feature a range of new technological innovations, including:
Streaming multiprocessors with up to 83 teraflops of shader power — 2x over the previous generation.
Third-generation RT Cores with up to 191 effective ray-tracing teraflops — 2.8x over the previous generation.
Fourth-generation Tensor Cores with up to 1.32 Tensor petaflops — 5x over the previous generation using FP8 acceleration.
Shader Execution Reordering (SER) improves execution efficiency by rescheduling shading workloads on the fly to better utilize the GPU’s resources. As significant innovation as out-of-order execution was for CPUs, SER improves ray-tracing performance by up to 3x and in-game frame rates by up to 25%.
Ada Optical Flow Accelerator with 2x faster performance allows DLSS 3 to predict movement in a scene, enabling the neural network to boost frame rates while maintaining image quality.
Architectural improvements tightly coupled with custom TSMC 4N process technology result in an up to 2x leap in power efficiency.
Dual NVIDIA Encoders (NVENC) cut export times by up to half and feature AV1 support. The NVENC AV1 encode is being adopted by OBS, Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve, Discord and more.
Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO
If you are talking about Extreme performance you cannot forget Zotac, which is one of NVIDIA‘s biggest GPU makers and has been stepping up its game each year. While other OEMs like ASUS, and MSI, have had similar-looking GPUs over the year, this time with the RTX 40-series, Zotac has completely changed its look of it.
The Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO is a top-of-the-line graphics card with an incredible boost clock speed of 2580 MHz, sports massive 24GB GDDR6X memory and has a size which can shame any CPU case out there. It’s 8K ready, supports four 4K displays simultaneously, gives you 4K 100FPS+ gaming and has a spectacular RGB design.
The huge GPU needs serious power and so it’s rated at 450W TDP, delivered through a 12+4 pin 12VHPWR connector, you get one out-of-the-box, also, a 1000W PSU is recommended with this RTX 4090. Let’s talk more about this GPU in detail and see whether you should buy it, also it’s aimed towards which people?
NVIDIA Ada Lovelace Streaming Multiprocessors: Up to 2x performance and power efficiency, 4th Generation Tensor Cores: Up to 2X AI performance, 3rd Generation RT Cores: Up to 2X ray tracing performance
As we all know, the RTX 40-series is bold and powerful, this RTX 4090 here sports 76.3 billion transistors and is built upon a 4nm process, with up to 16,384 CUDA cores, this is the biggest GPU the green team has ever made. Now, Zotac, on the other hand, has given the RTX 40-series a new aerodynamic look and that’s also evident on this RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO.
Undoubtedly, this RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO GPU has one of the best designs in the market, the AIR-Optimized design in its true sense makes the GPU look better even though it’s such a huge one. The graphics card looks futuristic and personally, I liked the new SPECTRA 2.0 RGB Lighting across the GPU and also at the backplate to make it look sick when you use the PC during the night.
While we have also reviewed the RTX 4080, personally, I would recommend people going for this RTX 4090 by spending a little bit extra because this NVIDIA GPU is much faster than the 4080 for Rs.40k or a $400 price difference. The curvy design and a weight of 2.1 kg make the GPU a big daddy which needs to be fit into a large case with proper airflow and space so that one can enjoy the RGB lighting.
In terms of thermals, this Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO is more silent than usual NVIDIA FE cards, and the thermals seem better utilized. While ideal the average TDP draw of the card remained to be around 35W, which is a tad bit higher than the more efficient RTX 4080 that drew around 20W during idle.
However, when pushed to its limit, the GPU can go over the rated 450W at times during performance spikes, so using a 1000W PSU with the RTX 4090 is a must.
Productivity
NVIDIA has certainly stepped up its game when it comes to productivity as its GPUs come with mature Tensor cores alongside NVENC encoders help to render video quickly or make graphical changes in complex Blender projects easier. Productivity enthusiasts who need the best performance can also opt for this Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO GPU because of its triple-fan design.
Here are some of the productivity benchmarks which show the dominance of this Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO GPU:
In each of these productivity benchmarks you will see this Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO slaying any GPU coming in between with some insane numbers! Be it PC Mark 10 or Time Spy Extreme, in all of them the RTX 4090 is just an absolute monster. Even the newer RX 7900 series GPUs from AMD cannot surpass the RTX 4090 in traditional productivity needs.
For heavy tasks and graphics rendering or video editing, if you can afford the RTX 4090, you should go for it because of its insane jump in performance. The GPU’s popularity is huge when it comes to creative people who need the absolute best GPU to slay old-school tasks for work and so this Zotac RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO takes this even further.
Gaming
Obviously, you have been waiting for this Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO’s gaming performance, it’s needless the numbers are sick. If you are aiming for the RTX 4080, go for an RTX 4090 for some more bucks because of the up to 20% performance difference you see and that increases especially when you use DLSS 3.
While I personally thought the RTX 4080 was overpriced, the new RTX 4090 is still fair for the performance it provides but not everyone can afford a GPU like this one. However, suppose you are serious about insane 4K gaming performance, then this Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO custom variant is just the right one.
This Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO promises somewhat better performance than the FE variant and its ease of availability in India makes it a top recommendation. Without further ado, let’s see the gaming benchmarks in various modern gaming titles:
As you see, though it’s kind of expected, the Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO is absolutely on-spot to give you 100+ FPS in almost all games at 4K max settings except for the naughty Cyberpunk 2077. However, except for that game, there is hardly any game that can challenge this monster to challenge in native 4K resolution at max settings.
We tested some of the most demanding triple-A titles and in all of them you see this Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO didn’t fail at all. Though we don’t have an 8K display, if you have one this GPU can also give a good 8K performance as well, now, coming to the new DLSS 3, though this RTX 4090 doesn’t need it but still helps to increase performance further.
You can visit here to know about DLSS 3 and Frame Generation, however, in short, this new technique from NVIDIA, the AI technology uses to generate entire frames for massively faster gameplay. So, expect an insane performance jump with minimal performance difference with DLSS 3 and Frame Generation, here this Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO delivers as promised.
In some of the most challenging games like Cyberpunk 2077, with DLSS 3/FG you get over 100 FPS at 4K Ultra settings with Ray Tracing which goes to show how mature this tech is. I personally loved hundreds of FPS in the most-demanding games with this RTX 4090 and suppose you are gaming on a TV, this Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO will easily satisfy your gaming pleasures easily!
Verdict
Now comes the biggest dilemma, should you buy this Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO for a massive price tag of $1700 or Rs.1.70 lakh? Well, considering the fact that this GPU is the best one NVIDIA has to offer and has the biggest leap in performance ever and of course better than the vanilla Fan Edition, it’s worth it if you can pay for it.
Though it’s no secret that GPU prices are insane these days the RTX 4090’s incredible performance speaks for itself, and if you talk about an OEM card, personally, I loved this Zotac variant. If you are a serious gamer or a creative person, both can benefit from this one GPU and in 2023, except for the massive price tag almost no one can complaint anything about this card.
Well, for me my RTX 3070 Ti is still good for most needs, but it depends on your needs if you want to go for the Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO if you have money spend and want an out-of-the-world gaming experience, this GPU is a fantasy for any gamer out there!
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 (Non-Ti) graphics card is now expected to be released on April 13th, in line with previous rumours. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the newest member of the RTX 40 “Ada” family, which was introduced last year. Hongxing2020, a Twitter leaker, reveals that the card will be released on April 13th, which is still more than a month away, but it does align with previous rumours of an April release.
The AD104-250/251 GPU core is expected to power the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070.
The GPU will have 5888 CUDA cores and 12 GB GDDR6X VRAM clocked at 21 Gbps. There appear to be three PCB boards designed for the GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards, two of which we mentioned last month and another which Kopite7kimi has revealed.
The graphics card is expected to have a 200W TGP rather than a 220W TGP, resulting in a 10% power reduction. Also worth noting is that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 core configuration is very similar to the RTX 3070, which also has 5888 cores, but the successor includes the Ada GPU core, which should bring not only extra performance but also higher efficiency. The card is also said to be clocked at 1920 MHz base and 2475 MHz boost clocks, giving it roughly 30 TFLOPs of compute power.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 will most likely cost around 600 USD, unless there is a significant price difference between the Ti and Non-Ti variants. The 4070 Ti starts at $799 US, so the RTX 4070 may as well be priced at $599 US, a $100 US increase over the $499 US RTX 3070. NVIDIA has begun clearing out older RTX 30 FE (Founders Edition) inventory, which could be our first indication that this news story is true.
NVIDIA has begun shipping a new AD102 GPU die for its flagship NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card quietly. As we previously reported, NVIDIA began shipping revised GPU dies for its retail-ready GeForce RTX 40 GPUs. The new chips were first introduced in the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Ti, allowing AIBs to reroute the voltage comparator from the GPU to the board itself. This was a minor change that was required for the Ada GPUs to operate more efficiently and effectively.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards are now shipping with a new die known as the AD102-301 GPU, according to Redditor cavitysearch123.

The GPU has been replaced, but the board number has also been changed to “16F4”, whereas the original Founders Edition cards were based on the “165B” board. Based on the appearance of the GPU, it is essentially the same design, with the only visual difference being the label with the new GPU SKU ID.
The user did not stop there, instead running a few tests on the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition graphics card. The new GPU appears to have a maximum voltage of 1.070V, whereas the original Founders Edition had a maximum tuning voltage of 1.1V. Due to the difference in the IDs, the older FE BIOS cannot be flashed on the new card or vice versa.

MSI’s Afterburner was used to confirm that the voltage was indeed lower, and the card peaks out at 1.070V. Even manually adjusting the core voltage and the frequency and voltage curve had no effect on the newer NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. The same thing happened when I used ASUS’ GPU Tweak utility.
