In his latest video, Tom at Moore's Law is Dead explains that his sources teased that NVIDIA has "begun sending out embargo details to their partners this week that specifically denotes a plan to launch in October, but final dates are not decided yet". Another source added that the "RTX 4090 (at least) is still planned to launch in October".

NVIDIA's next-gen Ada Lovelace GPU architecture will debut with the GeForce RTX 4090, but we will also see the GeForce RTX 4080 and GeForce RTX 4070 shortly after. The question has been whether the GeForce RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 would launch this year, or whether NVIDIA debuts the new monster GeForce RTX 4090 -- in 450W form at first, a 600W+ SKU is reportedly coming after AMD drops Navi 31 -- and leaves it at that.

That pricing was a dead given to be honest. 

 

The bit that phases me is releasing it in two different SKU's so far as its power envelope. I get it from AIB but why from what I would still call a "Stock" level config would you have a founders edition segmented into two different lines, 450W & 600W+. I know someone will argue "What about those with weaker PSU's", well I would argue that if you are getting a top shelf card like that, you likely have a decent PSU, or you should consider getting one.

Probably for smaller ITX build to allow top end in small build maybe.

I suppose that is one possible justification for it
