As you can see from the poster, the card is a triple-fan design that looks like silver and white, with the fan section looking like cyan, and could be part of the SG or EX series.

GALAX has previously launched a number of RTX 40 series graphics cards, including the Hall of Fame, Starburst, Metal Master series, RTX 4090 priced from RMB 12,999, RTX 4080 priced at RMB 9499, GALAX non-public version is a bit more expensive.

According to the latest Beta changelog, OBS Studio 29 Beta will also support AV1 hardware encoding for AMD and Intel graphics cards, so the three major manufacturers are basically supported.

According to the GitHub changelog, OBS Studio 29 Beta 1 supports AV1 encoding for AMD RDNA3 GPUs and Intel Arc GPUs, as well as Intel HEVC encoding and support for native HEVC and ProRes encoders on macOS.

In 2018, the Open Media Alliance (AOMedia) released AV1 (AOMedia Video Codec 1.0), a next-generation video codec. The codec was developed in collaboration with the Open Media Alliance and encodes 4K UHD video with an average compression rate 30% higher than similar encoders. AV1 codec support has been announced for Firefox, Cutscene Pro, and the Android subsystem of Microsoft Windows 11, WSA.

AMD has reportedly been increasing orders for the Radeon RX 7900 series graphics cards so that gamers can get them with relative ease at launch.

The report also states that the first supply of AMD Radeon RX 7900 series graphics cards (including both Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Radeon RX 7900 XT models) will not be small, and is said to be much better than the supply of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards at launch. Over the past few days we have learned that NVIDIA shipped a total of 160,000 Ada GPUs, of which 81.25% of the units were RTX 4090 (AD102) GPUs and the remaining 18.75% were RTX 4080 (AD103) GPUs.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 was completely sold out at launch, however, with some effort, the card can still be found at retail stores. Meanwhile, even though far fewer RTX 4080s were shipped than 4090s, some retail stores can still find plenty of them due to the perceived inflated price, and no doubt the card is also being resold online, where people can find quite a few 4080s on eBay and ask for a lot of money.

The RTX 4080’s current embarrassment is largely due to its ridiculous $1199.90 pricing, and the fact that AMD promises performance per dollar and per watt that is threatening to the RTX 4080. In AMD’s marketing slides, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX is positioned directly against the RTX 4080, so users will really want to know the end result of both products before making a buying decision.

If AMD does manage to knock off the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card in the final GPU review, then we could see an already surging demand for the Radeon RX 7900 series and more for the Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card with a price tag of $999 (suggested retail price), and the extra number of the company’s prepared graphics cards will really come in handy, and since there are no cryptocurrency miners interfering right now, we can expect the cards to be sold at official retail prices this time around.

GeForce RTX 4080 Expected specifications.

" ● First, the card is expected to have a streamlined AD103-300 GPU configuration with 76 of 84 SM groups / 9728 CUDA cores enabled, compared to the previously expected 80 SM groups / 10240 CUDA cores.

● Second, the full GPU spec has 64MB L2 cache / 224 ROP grid cells, but the non-full-blooded version may only have 48MB L2 cache / lower ROP grid cells."

On the PCB side, the GeForce RTX 4080 is expected to use the PG136/139-SKU360 design.

"● Memory is 16GB @ 256-bit 23Gbps GDDR6X with a bandwidth of 736 GB/s -- slightly less than the 10GB @ 320-bit RTX 3080 (760 GB/s bandwidth).

However, to make up for the memory bit width/bandwidth shortfall, NVIDIA is said to be using memory compression technology for the RTX 40 series Ada Lovelace product line."

Power consumption, @Kopite7kimi again updated to 340W, compared to the 320W mentioned earlier in the news increased by 20W, and 350W RTX 3080 in the same class.

As for the other RTX 40 graphics, SKU will also be more GDDR6X memory, it is not known. But it is certain that Micron has already started full mass production of 24Gbps GDDR6X.

Finally, referring to NVIDIA’s marketing strategy for previous generations of products, the RTX 4080 / 4070 will be the first model to launch to gamers outside of the RTX 4090.

If all goes well, RTX 4090 will arrive first around October 2022. As for RTX 4080 / 4070 whether to wait until 2023, is still to be decided by NVIDIA itself.
