One thing is certain, Nvidia will release its new line of graphics cards this year, the GeForce RTX 4000. But unlike the previous generation, it would be the RTX 4090, the highest-end model, which should be announced first. It would be followed by the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070.
We have been talking about it for a few weeks already: there is almost no doubt anymore, the new GeForce RTX 4000 will be unveiled before the end of the year. A launch period is even mentioned, since there is talk of an announcement during the summer of 2022.
According to information from kopite7kimi and taken over by VideoCardz, the release schedule for the various graphics card models has even already been approved by Nvidia. On the other hand, and contrary to what the founder had planned when the GeForce RTX 3000 were released in 2020 by favoring the RTX 3080, a small change would be expected this year.

In 2022, Nvidia would favor the GeForce RTX 4090
Thus, Nividia would prefer the following scenario this time: priority release the premium model of the range, namely the RTX 4090. Subsequently, Nvidia will market the RTX 4080, then the RTX 4070. No release date has yet been mentioned. For the record, in 2020 it was the RTX 3080 that was unveiled first, followed by the RTX 3090 two weeks later. Finally, we had to wait two more months to see the RTX 3070 land.
Privileging this time the ultra premium model of the range is not so trivial as that. Because the shadow of the shortage of components continues to hover among manufacturers, despite initiatives such as Restocked & Reloaded from Nvidia, which makes it possible to be informed of the prices and availability of graphics cards from merchants.
By releasing the RTX 4090 as a priority, Nvidia could not only highlight the performance of its new line using its most powerful model, but also ensure that enough stock is available for gamers. Remember that this model will be the most expensive of all (with the exception of the 4090Ti, of course), which should dampen the enthusiasm of those who need to change their graphics card this year, and therefore allow It’s up to Nvidia to meet the lower than expected demand for the RTX 4080 and 4070.
