Clearly in direct response to that one moan I had in regards to the lack of dependable GeForce RTX 40 collection data, Nvidia are actually teasing what’s very doubtless a launch occasion for his or her subsequent technology of GPUs. The official Nvidia GeForce Twitter account has been vagueposting about one thing known as #ProjectBeyond, beginning with a coded image on September eighth and extra just lately listing a date and time: 8am PDT (4pm BST) on September twentieth.
Given it’s about time in Nvidia’s most well-liked biannual cycle for a brand new graphics card technology, and it being the GeForce account moderately than one among Nvidia’s non-gaming manufacturers, and Nvidia additionally dropping the cryptic stuff and simply straight-up confirming a “GeForce Past” present on the twentieth, you’ll be able to wager your candy reminiscence bus that September twentieth will see some form of RTX GPU announcement. The RTX 30 collection, which has contributed a lot of the previous two years’ finest graphics playing cards, will lastly start its journey into semi-retirement.
What precisely will likely be on present? That is still to be seen, although my cash’s on the announcement focusing particularly on the top-of-the-line RTX 4090; as wobbly as leaks may be, phrase on the road is remarkably harmonious that it will finally launch forward of any RTX 4080, which might in flip arrive earlier than an RTX 4070. Will reckons the identical.
The longer term has a previous…#ProjectBeyond

What we can be certain of is that this announcement issues Nvidia’s next-gen graphics {hardware}, in no matter type it takes. One of many tweets features a video that, after displaying a closely GeForce-branded desktop setup, zooms in on a picture of the Diagram for the Computation of Bernoulli Numbers. This algorithm turned the primary to ever be number-crunched by a machine, however was initially created by pioneering mathematician Ada Lovelace. The poorly-kept secret codename for Nvidia’s subsequent gaming GPU structure, following Ampere and Turing? Lovelace. So it’s kind of sure to be a GPU-based occasion and never one thing to do with, say, GeForce Now.
There’s additionally a conspicuous post-it notice within the video that lists some numbers: 208, 629, and 7538. I’d solely be speculating as to what these imply, although – possibly specs for the RTX 4090? Core counts or the like? Or possibly should you add up all three you get the quantity, in kilos, that the RTX 4090 will value from the typical scalper.
GeForce Past, by the by, will act as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote tackle to the corporate’s GTC occasion. Which is in any other case AI-focused, however then RTX graphics playing cards have at all times used AI/machine studying for options like DLSS, in order that’s one other level within the “Might be about gaming GPUs” discipline.
