Gigabyte Launches its Latest AORUS Graphics Cards Based on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series
GIGABYTE, the world's leading computer brand, today announced new GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards. The long-awaited NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards have finally arrived. To fully unleash the beastly performance of these next-gen powerhouses, GIGABYTE rolled out its top-of-the-line AORUS graphics cards with amped-up designs and improved features, giving hardcore gamers and content creators more of everything.
Powered by the new ultra-efficient NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, the 3rd generation of RTX, GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards are beyond fast, giving gamers and creators a quantum leap in performance, neural rendering, and many more leading platform capabilities. This massive advancement in GPU technology is the gateway to the most immersive gaming experiences, incredible AI features and the fastest content creation workflows. These GPUs push state-of-the-art graphics into the future.The AORUS graphics cards are rocking the iconic WINDFORCE cooling system on the GeForce RTX 40 series family. Featuring the new fan blades and a special surface design, WINDFORCE Bionic shark fan increases the static pressure by up to 30% and reduces noise level by up to 3 dB simultaneously, compared to the regular fans at the same RPM. The massive heatsink module with the angular fins creates more surface area and cooling capacity than ever before. Paired with the vapor chamber in direct touch of the interior cores, multiple heat pipes, and the enlarged screen cooling vent at the back, the AORUS RTX 40 series graphics cards assure top-notch thermal performance, even at demanding loads.
GIGABYTE is also bringing back an upgraded version of the signature triple-ring RGB lights, RGB Halo, on the AORUS and GAMING OC GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards. This beloved feature, offering addressable lighting effects on the rotating fans, will definitely make every build glow with style. The LCD Edge View on the side of the AORUS cards gives users another option to personalize their cards with texts, images, or gifs. One can also monitor critical health stats, like power consumption, temperatures, RPMs, etc. with the LCD Edge View as well.
GIGABYTE will offer AORUS GeForce RTX 4090 XTREME WATERFORCE, AORUS GeForce RTX 4090 MASTER, GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING OC, GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4090 WINDFORCE in October and GeForce RTX 4080 series will be available in November.

Seriously, do we REALLY need 4 varying models of essentially the same card, at least underneath all the shroudz, fanz, and skinz anyways....
If the lower cards hold this pattern, that means we could end up with AT LEAST 16 maybe even 20 models just from GB !
There's still plenty of time for this to be sorted out. Rome wasn't built in a day.
Below is what Intel officially publishes on their website for Arc cards, that those were designed with DP 2.0 ports and are undergoing the certification process. I cannot see one single 4000 card with similar information. DP 2.0 would certainly increase the attractiveness of those cards, so why not mention that GPU boards were designed for DP 2.0?
It might be important to NVIDIA enough where they want to make the announcement themselves.
TPU generally just regurgitates the actual press release verbatim.
Sure, whoever posts these for TPU could include the dimensions but then they would be the ones doing the choosing on what data to include and omit.
It's not 1992 when press releases came on wire services and you had to ask for a spec sheet to be mailed or faxed to you. The World Wide Web allows for a certain brevity while still providing access to the public facing available information.
Is there an explanation why DisplayPort 2.0 wasn't mentioned today? Absolutely. Is it something NVIDIA wanted to discuss today? Apparently not. Will it be something they will want to expound on at a later date? Unknown. However, if DisplayPort 2.0 will not be a feature in 40 series cards, I would expect the confirmation answer to be extremely terse.
One thing that I'm pretty sure about: if they left out DisplayPort 2.0 in the Ada Lovelace generation of cards, they did it with a lot of deliberation. That probably means they had prototypes with the feature and decided not to include it in the final design after careful review.
All these companies test multiple designs.
Somewhere in a lab in Cupertino, there's an iPhone prototype with a USB-C port where the Lightning port was.
Now I'm not an electrical engineer so I don't know what sort of work is required to add DisplayPort 2.0 support. Seeing as how Intel got it to work on their fledging entry-level Alchemist card, it's a little puzzling why a well-experienced team at NVIDIA couldn't accomplish the same task.
Nvidia's omission of DP 2.0 will slow down the innovation of mainstream monitors.
