As the curtains begin to close on this current GPU generation, many are anticipating what Nvidia and AMD will be coming out with over the next few months. With AMD looking to launch the RDNA 3 some time this September, and its biggest rival also leaping forward into the next graphical era, there doesn't seem much time left for any new products in the RDNA 2 and Ampere range. However, that's not necessarily true, and some specs of a new Nvidia card have been unveiled.

Based on the Turing architecture, which was the technology used for the previous generation of graphics cards, it will allegedly feature 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 12 Gbps bus. It will also have 512 CUDA cores, which the report indicates is half of what the chip can offer, and will have a TDP of 75W, which is not surprising given that this is a low-end piece of kit. At the time of writing, there is no RRP.

Conversely, Nvidia may be launching the RTX 40-series in July, a couple of months ahead of the originally anticipated launch window. It seems as though team green is eager to get a
