The RTX 4090 meltdowns occurred frequently in early 2023 when many users reported that their RTX 4090s failed after less than six months of use, which was directly related to the melting of the graphics card, the power cord, the power adapter, or the 16-pin power connector between the two, which Byogore’s cards lasted far longer than that.

The concern is that Byogore’s case may be repeated on all NVIDIA RTX 4090s using the older 12VHPWR power connector. That’s not to say that all NVIDIA RTX 4090s will experience this issue, but the possibility exists that more unpredictable failures will occur in the future.

Starting in late 2022, there have been many reports of NVIDIA RTX 4090 meltdowns and damage online due to the fact that the card utilizes a new 12VHPWR power interface that can deliver up to 600W of power.

NVIDIA responded to these issues in November 2022, when the problems were just starting to appear, by claiming that the problems were caused by user error, stating that users were not fully inserting the 16-pin power connector into the corresponding power connector on the RTX 4090. However, this was not the case.

Six months after NVIDIA issued its response, PCI-SIG introduced a new 16-pin interface called the 12V-2×6 power interface, which claimed to solve the problems with the 12VHPWR power interface. This new interface had a few modifications, including a power boost from 600W to 660W, and a slight redesign that seemed to solve the interface melting problem. So far the new interface really hasn’t had any melting issues, but of course, only time will tell if it actually solves the problem.

NVIDIA has been quietly rolling out the new interface to the RTX 4090 and other cards like the RTX 4070, but there are still plenty of RTX 4090 cards on the market that use the older, original 12VHPWR power interface. The good news is that most modern graphics card warranties have been extended to three to four years, so if something goes wrong in the next few years, the RTX 4090 should still be covered.

The new version of the RTX 4090 graphics card reportedly features a modified “12VHPWR” connector with four shorter signal pins, which is designed to disable high power mode when the cable is not fully inserted. The new connector design was also used on a new power supply released by MSI a while back.

At present, NVIDIA has not issued an official statement on this improvement.

NVIDIA RTX 40 series graphics cards were the first to use the 12VHPWR interface power supply, which increased the power supply capacity to 600 W. In the early days of the RTX 40 series of graphics cards, there were reports of power supply connector burnouts on the Internet, which may be partly related to poor contact.

Now CENS from Germany set a new record again and broke his own record of 3930 MHz set 10 days ago to reach 3975 MHz, ranking first in the HWBOT GPUPI V 3.3 ranking, just 25 MHz short of 4GHz.

The German overclocker CENS is still using the Seven Rainbow GeForce RTX 4090 iGame LAB graphics card, modifying the hardware and using custom BIOS firmware, and the adapter’s peak power consumption is well above the 515W specified by the graphics card manufacturer.

The platform used for the overclock included an EVGA Z790 DARK K|NGP|N motherboard, Core i9-13900K processor and 32GB of DDR5 memory.

NVIDIA said the Ada architecture makes new enthusiast laptops possible. Gamers can play surround-view games at 60FPS on three 4K displays, fully empowering professional-grade driving simulations. Creators can use NVIDIA Omniverse to create 3D designs with full physical properties, lighting and material simulation in 4K resolution. Hosts can use AV1 to broadcast games live on Discord at 4K 60FPS, and Ada’s new dual encoder cuts video export times in half.

Powered by GeForce RTX 4090 and 4080 notebook GPUs, the new generation of notebooks will run up to three times more efficiently than the previous generation of flagship notebooks, enabling users to play games with unprecedented performance and speed, and helping creators get their creative work done quickly, all in a slim, lightweight form factor, according to NVIDIA.

The RTX 40 Series flagship laptops are available for a suggested retail price starting at RMB 15,999 and will be available for purchase starting February 8.

NVIDIA confirmed that the card will deliver 38.9 TFLOPS of single-precision compute performance, almost on the same level as the desktop RTX 4070 Ti. The RTX 4080 GPU will use AD104, with 7,424 CUDA cores and 12GB of memory.

RTX 4050

The RTX 4050, NVIDIA’s next-generation entry-level GPU, is expected to use the AD107 core with 6GB of memory and a probable reduction in memory bit width to 96bit. This GPU is expected to be used in large-screen thin and light notebooks or entry-level gaming notebooks.

RTX 4060/4070

NVIDIA’s new generation of mainstream GPU, currently no specifications of its CUDA core, its memory is expected to be 8GB 128bit bit width, the performance release can reach 140W.

RTX 4080

The next flagship RTX 4080 GPU is expected to be equipped with AD104 cores, with 7424 CUDA cores, the number of cores close to the desktop RTX 4070 Ti, the memory is 12GB, and performance release is expected to reach 175W.

RTX 4090

Nvidia this year in the gaming end of the XX90 model, which uses AD103 cores, CUDA cores of 9728, with 16GB of memory, and desktop RTX 4080 with the same specifications, but the frequency is lower, the performance release is expected to reach 175W more.

As shown above, this gaming notebook is equipped with RTX 4090 GPU with 76 compute units, that is, 9728 CUDA cores, with 16GB of video memory, and a GPU frequency of 2040MHz.

For comparison, the RTX 4080 desktop graphics card is also equipped with 9728 CUDA cores and 16GB of memory, but with a GPU frequency of up to 2.5GHz.

In terms of scores, the RTX 4090 mobile GPU has an OpenCL score of about 210,000, compared to the current RTX 3080 Ti 16G mobile GPU’s score of 140,000 to 150,000. Conservative estimates suggest that the RTX 4090’s performance improvement will be over 40%.
