This is amazing information that is repeated by several sources. Please consider, however, that at this time, we are still at the rumor stage. The RTX 4090, 4080 and 4070 would be largely already produced and a log for almost 2 months in warehouses. According to information in from Taiwan, at the beginning of July, the AIBs (Nvidia’s partner brands) would have received the chips from the greens. After the classic tests and procedures, the Chinese assembly platforms of the main brands already had several units in stock during the first week of August. This unprecedented timing from Nvidia would clearly be caused by too much stock of RTX 30s on the market. The situation would have forced Nvidia to postpone its launch for almost a quarter. Indeed, initially the RTX 4090 would have been planned for August, the RTX 4080 for September and the RTX 4070 for October. This calendar thus allowing the RTX 4060 to arrive just in time for Christmas… We now know that it will not be.

Worse, Nvidia will launch a last round of promotions to liquidate its stocks because despite prices sometimes lower than the launch offers, the market does not take off. But AMD seems ready to come out of the woods and this is what would force Nvidia to officially launch its range in the coming days. The presented RTX 40s will then be almost immediately available, with the controversy concerning the two RTX 4080 models, one with 16 GB and the other with 12 GB… this latter model with a smaller VRAM size could be precisely to actually be an RTX 4070.
