The new RTX 4090 is a beast, pity about the rest of the new Lovelace range.
Nvidia’s new RTX 4090 board is a beaut. So is the AD102 GPU at its heart. Nvidia has not lost its technical touch, the 4090 is a major leap forward.

Then, Nvidia rolled out the impressive RTX 3080. It was a cutdown version of the RTX 3090 and used the same high-end GA102 chip with a few circuits fused off. The 3080 had roughly 80 percent of the functional units of the RTX 3090 for a fraction of the cost.
