Nvidia’s massive ‘GeForce Past’ occasion occurs later right this moment at GTC, and it’s extensively anticipated that we’ll see Lovelace GPUs, with additional hints dropped in a trailer on YouTube – and we’re actually strongly anticipating the looks of the RTX 4090, plus there’s been an obvious sighting of the flagship graphics card.

Nonetheless, that leaked picture proven by VideoCardz (opens in new tab) has all of the hallmarks of fakery. The pic reveals CEO Jensen Huang holding a supposed RTX 4090 graphics card (Founders Version, made by Nvidia itself), however Huang is in a lot softer focus than the cardboard itself, and it actually appears just like the 4090 has been superimposed on high (probably utilizing an outdated launch PR shot).

Additionally, the graphics card appears prefer it’s floating in entrance of him, too, with none of his fingers seen across the fringe of the board. In brief, we’re fairly sure this isn’t genuine, so it’s one to discard in our books.

Relating to the talked about trailer (opens in new tab), additionally flagged up by VideoCardz (opens in new tab), this additional underlines that we’re going to see Lovelace GPUs, as for those who have a look at the Discord avatar on the monitor display screen, it’s a tiny however nonetheless recognizable pic of Ada Lovelace (and ‘Consumer40’ is the profile identify, once more hinting on the next-gen 40 collection playing cards).

Evaluation: Huge clues, and a few massive query marks too

This trailer backs up different current teasers which have additionally dropped big hints that this occasion will showcase Lovelace GPUs, so at this level, we’re sure about seeing the RTX 4000 household. The query is which graphics playing cards will likely be proven off – most certainly the RTX 4090, and fairly probably the RTX 4080. Whether or not or not we’ll see the RTX 4070 – probably the most keenly awaited GPU for some – or two variations of the 4080 as a substitute, is likely one of the main factors of debate that has been posed by the rumor mill.

Additionally price noting is that the thumbnail for the trailer on YouTube carries the brand new font for the ‘GeForce RTX’ emblem which has been a lot talked about these days in leaks round Lovelace.

After all, concerning the brand new leaked photograph of the RTX 4090, we may very well be flawed about it being faked – although we doubt it – however some people on the market are pondering it’s real. If that’s the case, the font and design match a earlier leak, so there’s that – however then once more, even when the earlier font rumor is real, this new spillage might merely have been Photoshopped to match to be able to seemingly give it extra weight.

If this actually is how the flagship will look, then the RTX 4090 will comply with a lot the identical design because the 3090 Ti Founders Version, with twin followers – one on the entrance, one on the again – and size-wise will probably be triple slot.

All of that beforehand rumored information might nonetheless be true even when this new photograph is faked, and at any price, we’ll discover out the reality in only a matter of hours. Keep tuned to our liveblog for insightful commentary and evaluation of the launch, and if you wish to view the precise stream, we’ve acquired a information on the place to observe proper right here.
