On September 20, 2022, Nvidia announced its GeForce 40 Series graphics cards.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Burnes |first=Andrew |date=2022-09-20 |title=NVIDIA GeForce News |url=https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-40-series-graphics-cards-announcements/ |access-date=2022-09-20 |website=NVIDIA |language=en-us |archive-date=September 20, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920193354/https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-40-series-graphics-cards-announcements/ |url-status=live }}</ref> These came out as the RTX 4090, on October 12, 2022, the RTX 4080, on November 16, 2022, the RTX 4070 Ti, on January 3, 2023, with the RTX 4070, on April 13, 2023, and the RTX 4060 Ti on May 24, 2023, and the RTX 4060, following on June 29, 2023. These were built on the [[Ada Lovelace (microarchitecture)|Ada Lovelace]] architecture, with current part numbers being, "AD102", "AD103", "AD104" "AD106" and "AD107". These parts are manufactured using the TSMC N4 process node which is a custom-designed process for Nvidia. At the time, the RTX 4090 was the fastest chip for the mainstream market that has been released by a major company, consisting of around 16,384 [[CUDA]] cores, boost clocks of 2.2 / 2.5&nbsp;GHz, 24&nbsp;GB of [[GDDR6 SDRAM|GDDR6X]], a 384-bit memory bus, 128 3rd gen [[Ray tracing (graphics)|RT]] cores, 512 4th gen [[Deep learning super sampling|Tensor]] cores, [[Deep learning super sampling|DLSS 3.0]] and a TDP of 450W.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Graphics Cards |url=https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/40-series/rtx-4090/ |access-date=2023-11-07 |website=NVIDIA |language=en-us}}</ref> From October to December 2024, the RTX 4090, 4080, 4070 and relating variants were officially discontinued, marking the end of a two-year production run, in order to free up production space for the coming RTX 50 series.

Notably, a China-only edition of the RTX 4090 was released, named the RTX 4090D (Dragon). The RTX 4090D features a shaved down AD102 die with 14592 CUDA cores, down from 16384 cores of the original 4090. This was primarily owing to the United States Department of Commerce beginning the enactment of restrictions on the Nvidia RTX 4090 for export to certain countries in 2023. This was targeted mainly towards China as an attempt to halt its AI development.

The 40 series saw Nvidia re-releasing the 'Super' variant of graphics cards, not seen since the 20 series, as well as being the first generation in Nvidia's lineup to combine both 'Super' and 'Ti' brandings together. This began with the release of the RTX 4070 Super on January 17, 2024, following with the RTX 4070 Ti Super on January 24, 2024, and the RTX 4080 Super on January 31, 2024.
