Nvidia is expected to announce the RTX 4090, the first GPU in its next generation of graphics cards today. This “GeForce Beyond” presentation is part of the larger GTC 2022 keynote, which will cover topics beyond just PC graphics. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is expected to address topics across the company’s line of cloud and AI services available to applications such as robotics and self-driving cars, as well as highlight the company’s work in powering the technology behind the metaverse.
It all kicks off at 8 a.m. PT today, so make sure to come here for the latest updates from Nvidia or watch the RTX 4090 event live.

DLSS 3 officially announced
Jensen is talking about 3rd-gen RTX, including DLSS 3. The difference in this latest generation? “A revolution in neural rendering,” as it says. DLSS 3 predicts entirely new frames, not just pixels. Jensen says it’s four times faster than traditional performance. He even says it benefits CPU-limited games this time around.
Nvidia announces Ada Lovelace
“Today, we’re announcing Ada Lovelace,” Jensen proudly says. This is the “one GPU” that was powering the toy racing car scene we just saw. Nvidia says it’s worked close with TSMC for Ada Lovelace, designing the 4N process made for GPUs.
This prerecorded presentation just doesn’t have the quirky weirdness that use to come with live Nvidia events in the past. But this is the world we live in now, unfortunately.
Jensen takes the virtual stage
Jensen has donned his iconic leather jacket and beamed into a virtual space to start off GTC. He’s giving an overview of the keynote, talking about how it will touch on both new RTX products. He’s already moved on to Omniverse Cloud, showing how much of the focus of today’s show may be away from PC hardware.
“Future games will be simulations,” he says, showing off a impressive, lifelike 3D scene involving some toy cars racing around a bedroom.
The presentation kicks off in 10 minutes
Nvidia’s livestream is started up. Here’s the description from its YouTube stream:
“PC enthusiasts, don’t miss the GeForce Beyond special broadcast. Learn about the latest breakthroughs in gaming, creating, and graphics technology — from NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang in the opening of his GTC keynote on Sept 20 at 8 a.m. Pacific time (UTC-7).”
The big question remains: How many GPUs from the RTX 40-series will Nvidia actually announce? We’ll have to wait and see.
This is a breaking story. Once the keynote begins, this page will continue to be updated live as more announcements and updates roll in from the event.
