Nvidia are almost definitely teasing an RTX 40 series reveal next week

rockpapershotgun.com:

Clearly in direct response to that one moan I had about the lack of reliable GeForce RTX 40 series info, Nvidia are now teasing what’s very likely a launch event for their next generation of GPUs. The official Nvidia GeForce Twitter account has been vagueposting about something called #ProjectBeyond, starting with a coded image on September 8th and more recently listing a date and time: 8am PDT (4pm BST) on September 20th.

Given it’s about time in Nvidia’s preferred biannual cycle for a new graphics card generation, and it being the GeForce account rather than one of Nvidia’s non-gaming brands, and Nvidia also dropping the cryptic stuff and just straight-up confirming a "GeForce Beyond" show on the 20th, you can bet your sweet memory bus that September 20th will see some kind of RTX GPU announcement. The RTX 30 series, which has contributed most of the past two years’ best graphics cards, will finally begin its journey into semi-retirement.

What exactly will be on show? That remains to be seen, though my money’s on the announcement focusing specifically on the top-of-the-line RTX 4090; as wobbly as leaks can be, word on the street is remarkably harmonious that this will eventually release ahead of any RTX 4080, which would in turn arrive before an RTX 4070. Will reckons the same.

What we can be sure of is that this announcement concerns Nvidia’s next-gen graphics hardware, in whatever form it takes. One of the tweets includes a video that, after showing a heavily GeForce-branded desktop setup, zooms in on an image of the Diagram for the Computation of Bernoulli Numbers.
