CES 2023 is here and NVIDIA has a bevy of gaming and creator announcements. They include GeForce RTX 40 Series for laptops – including a 90-class GPU for the first time, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GPUs for desktops, the GeForce RTX 4080 Ultimate upgrade for GeForce NOW and new games featuring DLSS 3 and ray tracing technologies.
NVIDIA Ada Lovelace Breaks Energy-Efficiency Barrier, Supercharges 170+ Laptop Designs for Gamers and Creators
At CES today, NVIDIA announced new GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops. Powered by the company’s ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace GPU architecture which delivers NVIDIA’s largest-ever generational leap in performance and power efficiency, GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs will be featured in over 170 laptops from all of the major manufacturers.
The new GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops are up to 3x more power efficient than the previous generation and bring the Ada architecture, NVIDIA DLSS 3 and fifth-generation Max-Q technologies to laptops for the first time. For gamers, RTX 40 Series laptops deliver up to 4x the performance in AAA games like Cyberpunk 2077, and for creators, they offer blazing-fast acceleration for NVIDIA Studio exclusive apps like Omniverse and top creative apps such as Blender.
The new line-up of GPUs for laptops include GeForce RTX 4080, 4070, 4060 and 4050 GPUs, and for the first time ever on laptops, a RTX 4090 GPU is coming too.
The Ada architecture has enabled a new class of enthusiast laptops, the world’s fastest. RTX 40 Series flagship laptops powered by GeForce RTX 4080 and 4090 GPUs start at $1,999 and will be available beginning Feb. 8.
The new RTX 4070, 4060 and 4050 laptops are faster than the previous-generation flagship model, at as little as one-third the GPU power. RTX 4050/60/70 laptops start at $999 and will be available beginning Feb. 22.
New NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GPU brings the power and efficiency of the NVIDIA Ada architecture down to $799
Introducing the new GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GPU–up to 3X faster than the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, at nearly half the power, thanks to NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture innovations and NVIDIA DLSS 3. GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is perfect for PC gamers looking to max out high refresh rate 1440p monitors that are widely available at great prices and video editors to cut rendering times with dual AV1 encoders.
For users with a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or GeForce RTX 2080, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti offers a tremendous upgrade. Combined with DLSS 3 technology, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti delivers an incredible 12x relative performance upgrade over the legendary GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
Custom cards from NVIDIA AIC partners will be available on January 5, 2023, starting at $799. Please note there is no Founders Edition version.
DLSS Momentum Continues: 50 DLSS 3 Released and Upcoming Games, Over 250 DLSS Games and Creative Apps Available Now
NVIDIA’s AI-powered DLSS continues to set the standard for super resolution technologies. NVIDIA DLSS uses AI and GeForce RTX Tensor Cores to boost frame rates while maintaining great image quality. Released in October, DLSS 3 adds new Frame Generation technology that enables DLSS performance boosts of up to 4X over native rendering.
DLSS 3 is already available in 17 games, with another 33 games and apps on the way soon. And GeForce RTX users can now enable AI-powered performance boosts of DLSS in over 250 released games and creative apps.

NVIDIA is bringing RTX 4080 GPUs to its GeForce NOW cloud-gaming service
GeForce NOW is going beyond fast, delivering GeForce RTX 4080-class gaming to billions of devices — available exclusively in the new, high-performance Ultimate membership tier.
Powered by the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, upgraded GeForce NOW RTX 4080 SuperPODs will deliver over 64 teraflops of graphics horsepower to an individual user, which is more than 5x that of an Xbox Series X and nearly 1.75x over the previous-generation SuperPODs.
The GeForce NOW Ultimate membership raises the bar on cloud gaming, bringing it closer than ever to a local gaming experience. With GeForce RTX 4080 performance, Ultimate members will be the first to experience true PC gaming on nearly any device —streaming at 240 frames per second from the cloud with full ray tracing and DLSS 3, in hit games like Portal With RTX. With the addition of NVIDIA Reflex, GeForce NOW achieves click-to-pixel latency below 40 milliseconds — another first in cloud gaming.
The GeForce NOW Ultimate membership is available for new user sign-ups today, at the current rate of $19.99 per month or $99.99 for six months. GeForce RTX 3080 members’ accounts have already been converted to the new membership at their pricing. Upgraded GeForce RTX 4080 performance streaming from the new SuperPODs will be available in North America and Europe starting later this month, with continued rollout over the months to follow.
New In the NVIDIA Studio
A creative revolution is underway as a rising wave of 2D artists moves to 3D. For them, and the 110 million professional and hobbyist PC creators, there’s NVIDIA Studio. New 40 Series NVIDIA Studio laptops and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics cards are powering this tidal shift as they enable RTX accelerations in more than 110 of the most popular (and graphically demanding) applications, while powering incredible, time-saving AI tools.
And there’s breaking news with the entire Studio suite of apps — Omniverse, Canvas, Broadcast and RTX Remix.
- Omniverse is expanding with Blender enhancements, a new suite of experimental generative AI tools for 3D artists, and thousands of new, free Universal Scene Description (USD) assets.
- Built on Omniverse, NVIDIA RTX Remix will enter early access soon. The free modding platform provides tools to quickly create and share mods for classic games with full ray tracing, enhanced materials, DLSS 3 and NVIDIA Reflex.
- Broadcast is adding new features, including eye contact and vignette; plus improvements for the popular virtual background feature, adding temporal information for increased stability.
- Canvas will introduce 360-degree images that can be used as environment maps in 3D apps.
Finally, there’s RTX Super Resolution, a feature that uses AI to improve the quality of video streaming by removing blocky compression artifacts and upscaling video resolution. Video Super Resolution will be available on GeForce RTX 40 and 30 Series GPUs with the February release of Chrome and Edge browsers.
Reflex gets even better with new game support, 1440p 360Hz displays with Reflex Analyzer, and more
NVIDIA Reflex enables GeForce players to reduce system latency by up to 50%, for the most responsive gaming experience possible on any platform. At CES we announced the addition of Party Animals from Recreate Games and Source Technology to the Reflex roster, bringing the tally of released games supporting NVIDIA Reflex to over 50.
GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs power 1440p gaming at ultra-high FPS, delivering the responsive, precisive experience that competitive gamers demand. At CES, NVIDIA announced two new 1440p 360 Hz esports displays: the Acer Predator XB273U F is now available and the upcoming AOC AGON PRO AG276Q.
Together with next-generation 1440p 360Hz G-SYNC with Reflex displays, competitive gamers can now play at 1440p without compromise. 1440p gaming on RTX 40 Series gives players increased image fidelity and improved motion clarity without trading off refresh rate or responsiveness.
Also announced at CES, the new Alienware 500Hz Gaming Monitor (AW2524H) 24.5” 1080p NVIDIA G-SYNC display with Reflex, which joins the ASUS ROG Swift Pro PG248QP 540Hz 24” 1080p G-SYNC display with Reflex.
