Nvidia GeForce RTX 40-Series GPUs Tipped to Debut in Early Q3

Nvidia's next series of consumer graphics cards might launch as early as July 2022. Today, the Twitter tech tipster with an excellent track record, Kopite7kimi, informed his followers that Ada Lovelove will potentially come out in "Q3 early."

Ada Lovelace is Nvidia's codename for the GPU architecture behind the next-generation GeForce series of consumer graphics cards, due later this year. Naturally, therefore, we must take the Kopite7kimi Tweet with a dose of salt, but if true, the indications are we will see Nvidia launch its GeForce RTX 40-series graphics cards in July. Yes, July, as of Q3, spans July, August, and September – which equate to early, mid and late Q3, respectively.

While we are here, it is worth having a recap of what users should expect from the RTX 40-series lineup. Tom's Hardware Jarred Walton graphics editor published an everything we know an article in late April, which is worth a look, with a detailed table of standard specifications (GPU cores, clocks, memory quotas, speeds, and power requirements). It includes a video chat session too. It is well worth a look if you want a deep dive into Ada Lovelace technologies to come.

Nvidia launching its RTX40 series is a move that enthusiasts would welcome. An early Q3 launch would secure the first mover advantage against arch foe AMD. Moreover, it could help dash Intel's hopes before the blue team gets its first serious desktop GPUs out and available worldwide. Lastly, we hope that the following generation of graphics cards can draw a line under the crypto mining era, with that speculative investment becoming less popular, and into an age where AMD, Nvidia, and Intel have to fight fiercely for PC gamer and creator cash.
