All The New Graphics Cards Revealed Today By AMD, Intel, And Nvidia

Nvidia, AMD, and Intel all had PC graphics-related reveals for today’s Consumer Electronics Show presentations, and as expected, the latter showcased more of its Arc GPU while the two former showcased multiple graphics cards that will soon hit the market (although who’s to say if buying them will be any easier).  

CES, an electronics-focused annual conference, is where many electronic companies present new products for both the mass market as well as those who are more open to experimental ideas. It’s where Samsung announced its new line of 2022 TVs that will feature Stadia, Nvidia GeForce Now, and NFT support and integration, and it’s also where Nvidia, AMD, and Intel pulled back the curtains on some heavily-rumored GPUs. 

Let’s talk Nvidia. The company has announced the RTX 3050, and the RTX 3090Ti GPUs. The RTX 3050 is the company’s most budget GPU, coming in at just $249, and is capable of features like raytracing and DLSS. You can purchase it later this month at the following date: January 27, with nine shader TFLOPS. 

The RTX 3090 Ti is Nvidia’s new flagship GPU, and while the company simply teased it, we have some additional details regarding it, courtesy of The Verge. 

The card’s new 24GB GDDR6X will run at 21 gigabytes per sec, the same as the standard 3090. It also has almost eight times the memory clock speed. The Verge This will give additional speed boosts for 4K gaming, and AI tasks. This card will also feature 40 teraflops of GPU performance, which is 11 percent faster than the 3090’s 36 teraflops, and an additional 78 teraflops for ray tracing and 320 teraflops for AI tasks. That’s a lot of flops. 

Nvidia didn’t reveal the price of its new 3090 Ti or give a window to release it. Considering the 3090 runs for about $1499 (when you aren’t looking at prices set by resellers), this 3090 Ti is almost certainly going to cost more. The VergeAccording to reports, Nvidia will reveal more information about the new card later in this month. 

Company also revealed new RTX3080 Ti and RTX3070 Ti laptops. 

On the AMD front, the company revealed its new Radeon RX 6500 XT graphics card, which features “breakthrough AMD RDNA 2 architecture” and is “engineered to deliver great gaming performance and remarkable efficiency.” AMD says the 6500 XT’s clock is one of the fastest in a gaming card, with 16 complete units and ray accelerators, 305 gigabytes per second of effective bandwidth with AMD Infinity Cache, 4GB of GDDR6, and a game clock with speeds as fast as 2610 MHz. The card, which is intended to be an affordable GPU for desktop computers will go on sale January 19, with a price of $199. 

AMD revealed new RX 6000S gaming laptop chips. The chip is available in three versions: RX6600S, RX6700S and RX6800S. The prices for the chips as well as associated laptops have not been revealed. 

Finally, Intel announced that they are now shipping Intel Arc GPUs to desktop and laptop makers. Unfortunately, no information is available on the date when these will become available to players, however it does sound like things are moving closer. Intel claims that its Arc GPUs feature ray tracing as well as XeSS (which is Intel’s AI-based supersampling).  

Intel also revealed that Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, a game previously exclusive to PlayStation 5, is coming to PC, and it’s going to use Intel’s XeSS supersampling technology to beef it up. More information about the announcement can be found here.
