Since the end of last year we have been hearing rumors of the RTX 4000, followers of the RTX 3000. NVIDIA fervently hopes that these graphics cards mean the end of the shortage of them that we have been suffering since the start of the pandemic. Part of NVIDIA's plan would be to launch the first three RTX 4000 graphics over three months.
The website Videocardz has reported that Nvidia plans to launch its RTX 4090 graphics card in August, while the RTX 4080 will arrive in September and the RTX 4070 in October. Everything that follows are predictions from that website. Thus, three new GPUs will be released in three different months. It should be noted that due to last-minute issues, these launch dates are subject to change , as happened with the silence surrounding the RTX 3090 Ti at the beginning of the year due to unforeseen problems.
From GPU Shortage to GPU Oversupply
With cryptocurrency miner demand declining due to Ethereum's falling value and the impending Merge, coupled with consumer fatigue over excessively high GPU prices, graphics card stock has begun to rapidly increase on store shelves. Consumers know that next-generation products are on the horizon, so demand for RTX 3000 series cards is at a low point. All of this suggests that Nvidia may be launching its RTX 4000 series into an oversupplied market.
NVIDIA may slightly delay its RTX 4000 series to help clear excess GPU inventory. The launch of the RTX 4000 series products will likely cause the value of current RTX 3000 series products to plummet. Consumers don't want to pay high prices for last-generation technology, but NVIDIA doesn't want to sell its RTX 30 series products at lower prices . However, price drops for the RTX 30 series are inevitable in the current market, and retailers will want to clear their stock to make room for the 4000 series.
Nvidia is likely to reveal all of its top-tier RTX 40-series graphics cards on the same day. It would be a next generation Lovelace series product line and release roadmap. It is speculated that NVIDIA may reveal the RTX 4000 during or before Gamescom 2022, to quickly launch Nvidia's RTX 4090, followed by the release of subsequent models in the family.
