Months go by and the next generation of screen cards Nvidia getting close. amp expired, GeForce RTX 4000 will use the new Ada Lovelace architecture Intended for the general public and more specifically for video games.

Since the launch of Alder Lake processors (12th generation Intel Core), Intel has run the all-new PCI Express 5.0 on its platform. This new interface promises up to 128 GB/s bandwidth versus 64 GB/s for PCI Express 4.0. this is Nvidia had advanced by revealing HopperThe first PCI Express 5.0 compliant GPU for professionals.

Unfortunately, PCI Express 5.0 is not supported by the AMD platform yet. That should be the case by the end of the year with the arrival of the Ryzen 7000 and the AM5 platform, but we can assume the level of adoption will be very low.

We can still imagine that the next GeForce RTX 4000 will support the ATX 3.0 / PCI Express 5.0 power interface. This is a new 16-pin connector that allows the graphics card to receive up to 600 watts of power from the computer’s power supply. If we believe the leaks about the RTX 4090, you’ll need it.
