Nvidia's RTX 4090 is now banned from export to China, though that has merely encouraged scalpers to hoard RTX 4090 cards. What's not clear is whether anything will happen at the top of the stack with the RTX 4090. These may replace the existing non-Super models. There are rumblings of various RTX 40-series Super cards, which will probably appear in January.
It's not clear what such a chip might entail at this point, possibly 8GB of memory on a 128-bit interface (again), or could Nvidia try foisting a 96-bit 6GB card on the market? Hopefully the former rather than the latter. Prices on all GPUs have trended up in the post-Black Friday slump, so if you missed out on those deals, you might want to wait and see what January brings.ĪMD and Nvidia have basically wrapped up their latest generation GPU lineups, unless there are still plans for an RTX 4050 at the bottom of the stack. With the increasing RTX 4090 prices, it's hard to justify buying the fastest GPU that's currently available.
