Nvidia teases RTX 4000 GPU annoucement with “Project Beyond”
Nvidia might be finally kickstarting its RTX 4000 GPU launch, as the gaming PC giant’s social media accounts are now clad with a mysterious teaser. The promotional material arrives ahead of CEO Jensen Huang’s GTC 2022 keynote, and its “#projectbeyond” label suggests we’ll soon get a glimpse at the company’s future graphics card plans.

The rumour mill claims Nvidia is struggling to make its mind up about RTX 4070 specs, and we may end up with two RTX 4080 models at the same time. Whispers also hint that only the RTX 4090 will release this year, a decision that would restrict
