MicroCenter values RTX 4090 at $700 through its trade-in program

MicroCenter is offering only $699.95 for a customer’s RTX 4090. The retailer has its own trade-in program that allows users to sell their cards back, but only if they were originally purchased at MicroCenter. One of the customers wanted to check what the trade-in evaluation is for the MSI RTX 4090 Gaming Trio model, which is an MSRP version without overclocking.

Ever since NVIDIA faced an export ban on RTX 4090 to China, the company’s flagship Ada Lovelace model has been hardly available at its MSRP of $1599. This card often pops up at NVIDIA official stores or through board partner stores, but retailers are not eager to sell these cards at MSRP.

For this reason, some retailers that also offer trade-ins for RTX 4090 will offer up to $1,500 (like Newegg), while it is relatively easy to sell the card for much more through platforms like eBay (average sell price $1,790). In this context, MicroCenter’s offer appears to be significantly below market value.

MSI GeForce RTX 4090 24G SUPRIM FUZION Combines Air Cooling and Water Cooling with 4.5-Slot Design
From a report (machine translated):

“The MSI GeForce RTX 4090 24G Suprim Fuzion looks like a model with a thick air cooler, but hides a compact water cooling system including a pump and radiator.”

“The radiator of the cooling circuit is simply squeezed into the format of an air-cooled card. This gives the silver-black Nvidia graphics card over four slots (presumably 4.5-slot design).”
“The Ada Lovelace GPU is apparently cooled by a compact cooling block including a pump, which in turn is connected to the heat exchanger by short hoses.”
“The heated air is then removed by two fans (probably 90-100 mm in diameter). Also clearly visible are copper heatsinks around the cooling block , which most likely cool the memory chips – and possibly also the power supply.”

Mysterious 48GB Nvidia RTX 4090D GPU pops up on Chinese cloud service for rent

Nvidia recently rolled out the GeForce RTX 4090D and RTX 4080 Super. The RTX 4090D hit the scene in December as a Chinese sanctions-compliant variant with reduced core counts and lower power consumption versus the original RTX 4090. The following month saw the launch of the RTX 4080 Super – a slightly faster RTX 4080 – that caught everyone's attention with its $999 price point – a $200 discount over its vanilla sibling.

The amount of VRAM on these GPUs may already seem like overkill, but some enterprising Chinese modders decided to take things to the next level. An AI enthusiast stumbled upon two fascinating modded GPUs with twice the memory over their originals. There's a GeForce RTX 4090D with an insane 48GB of VRAM and a 32GB RTX 4080 Super.

Nvidia officially announces a new RTX 4070 with slower GDDR6 memory - says performance will be similar to the GDDR6X version

As rumored earlier this month, Nvidia has quietly introduced a new version of its RTX 4070 graphics card. The new GPU will come with GDDR6 memory, rather than the GDDR6X memory it comes with now. The company says it's launching this configuration to "improve supply and availability to meet strong demand."

Nvidia buried today's news at the bottom of its updates for the latest Game Ready Drivers, though there was plenty to discuss there already with the announcement of 20 new DLSS 3-enabled games.

The RTX 4070 with GDDR6 will otherwise be identical to the existing 4070 in terms of specs. In a blog post, Nvidia claims that the new card "offers similar performance in games and applications." The new card is supported in today's Game Ready Driver, version 570.94 WHQL, which also adds support for Star Wars Outlaws and Black Myth: Wukong.

The latest rumors point to some changes within NVIDIA. The company is said to be preparing to end production of the RTX 4090 GPUs, and even the RTX 4090D, by October, all in order to focus on the future with the RTX 5090.

Unfortunately, this could lead to some shortages before the launch of the new generation of graphic cards.
