The release date for the RTX 4090 is getting closer and closer. Nvidia plans to release it on October 12, 2022.
Unlike the recently released Ryzen 7000 and the soon-to-be-released Intel 13th generation, the RTX 4090 won’t make you pay extra for anything. It even uses the same amount of power as the 3090 Ti.
This is the new top-of-the-line GPU, and if it’s anything like the ones that came out before, it will be a beast for gaming and, well, everything else too.
Codenamed “Lovelace,” the RTX 4000 series will make use of state-of-the-art technologies including PCIe 5.0 and modern CPUs.
The most intriguing aspect is the price drop of the RTX 30 series, which may go even lower by Black Friday.
This presents a great opportunity for system builders, gamers, and graphics designers to upgrade in the fourth quarter of this year, whether they go for the newest flagship or the prior generation.
Nvidia has just announced its next-gen RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 GPUs. The RTX 4090 ships on October 12th priced at $1,599, with the RTX 4080 16GB model starting at $1,199. Full details here: https://t.co/k2pG2cMHi4 pic.twitter.com/hiaDv9jNgs

RTX 4090 Release Date Confirmed
The release of Nvidia’s RTX 4090 has been scheduled for October 12th, however, this will be the company’s last flagship GPU announcement.
The RTX 4080 is expected to debut in November, while the RTX 4070’s release date is yet unknown, but a staggered release is expected and commonplace.
Buyers can expect demand to exceed supply, which is not unprecedented. In this instance, you might have to pre-order the RTX 4090 and wait till it becomes available.
Alternately, individuals who aren’t in a hurry to upgrade would be wise to hold off until the new year, when all three SKUs will have been released and extensively benchmarked.
What Retailers Will Sell the Rtx 4090 Gpu on Release Day?
We anticipate the RTX 4090 to be available on Amazon for at least a limited time, as is the case with most product releases.
If you’re shopping in the United States or Canada, you can find graphics cards at other stores like Best Buy.
Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics cards should be available for purchase through a variety of the UK and European online retailers, including Amazon, Ebuyer, Scan, Overclockers, and many more.
Although these prices have been taken down, we expect them to remain exorbitant when the release day finally arrives.
RTX 4090 Release Time Prediction
As of this writing, neither Nvidia nor any of the stores carrying the RTX 4090 have announced a firm release date for the product.
Based on historical data, we estimate that it will take off at roughly 2 PM BST, 3 PM CEST, 6:30 PM IST, 9 AM EDT, 8 AM CDT, and 6 AM PDT.
Will the Release of the RTX 4090 Prevent People From Waiting For RDNA 3?
Even the name of AMD’s upcoming graphics card generation remains a mystery at this point, but rest assured: RDNA 3 is on the way.
AMD has trouble competing with Nvidia’s performance at any price point, thus the advantage will likely remain with Nvidia’s green team.
Since the RTX 4090’s price makes it more of an enthusiast card, the general public will likely wait for the other SKUs to become available before upgrading. However, if AMD can deliver the same level of performance at the same level of value, we’ll have real competition on our hands.
Uncertainty surrounds the RTX 4090 and its potentially game-changing power until its release and subsequent benchmarks.
