Usecase GPUs and Gaming How-to Guide eCommerce

There's no doubt that gaming is in, and the GeForce RTX 4090 is the card to beat. It is more powerful than its predecessor and is set to shake up the high-spec gaming PC scene. Both gaming enthusiasts and crypto miners are going to be eyeing the GPU very closely.

Release dates of NVIDIA Flagship RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 graphic cards

NVIDIA officially announced the RTX 4090 release date as October 12th, 2022 and it will be priced at $1,599. The RTX 4080 (12GB) follows with a starting price of $899.00. The RTX 4080 (16GB) will be priced at $1199.00. NVIDIA hasn’t specified a launch date for the RTX 4080 cards yet, but it is expected to be released in November.

Both RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 Graphic cards are powered by NVIDIA’s next-gen Ada Lovelace architecture. The specifications of the GeForce RTX 40 Series showcase that the RTX 4090 is geared to perform up to 2x better on raster-heavy games and RTX 4080 up to 4x faster on fully ray-traced games than its predecessor flagship RTX 3090 Ti.

Why buy NVIDIA’s RTX 4090 Graphics card?

Enormous leap in performance for PC gaming

With 4 times the speed of its predecessor, the RTX 4090 Graphics card is a power-packed upgrade to the line of GPUs produced by NVIDIA. It's definitely the most anticipated GPU for all gamers out there. Furthermore, the impressive boost in speed should attract all the crypto miners out there. It literally means 4 times more computing power to mine cryptocurrencies.

For PC gamers who are looking to upgrade, the RTX 4090 with Ada Lovelace is an aspirational GPU. It’s probably one of the most coveted graphics cards this year. It's worth mentioning that avid gamers were teased with leaked specs of the flagship GPU way before the wind of the release dates came in.

Gaming enthusiasts are willing to invest a very dear $1599 because the performance gap seems to be a lot bigger compared to its predecessor and contemporary GPUs. Odds are GeForce RTX 4090 will be left unchallenged for the title of graphics card".

RTX 40 series lineup gives an enormous leap in performance, efficiency, and AI-powered graphics. Rewording this in a gamer’s vocabulary, the RTX 4090 offers faster target acquisition, quicker reaction times, and the best aim precision for competitive games.

Capabilities of mining cryptocurrency

Apart from gaming, this is also very exciting news for all the crypto enthusiasts out there. The previous RTX 3090 GPUs were gobbled up by crypto miners and it is but natural that they would be tracking the RTX 40 series closely. NVIDIA’s GPUs dominate the crypto mining scene as they can easily handle computation-hungry applications. The previous high-end RTX 3090, clocked a hash rate range of 110-120 MH/s. Hash rate measures how capable a GPU or a mining farm is at mining for cryptocurrency. The numbers on the GeForce RTX 4090 are even more incredible and it's probably the crown jewel among all the GPUs coming this year.

Limited SKUs of GeForce RTX 40 series to be launched

NVIDIA's not going to flood the market with the RTX 40 series lineup. They’ve already got the expensive GeForce RTX 3090 Ti sitting on the digital shelves of its listed retailers. We fully expect the prices to fluctuate because we’ve seen the trends of the last three years indicate how NVIDIA’s GPU prices went up to unprecedented heights

Tech enthusiasts vouch that GPU release day stock generally vanishes in a matter of minutes. Once stocks run dry, chances of timely restocking and manufacturing look very slim. A massive slice of graphics silicon like the RTX 4090 will be the most coveted GPU among scalpers after demand increases.

NVIDIA’s RTX 4090 is a “game-changer” pun intended

NVIDIA’s RTX 4090 will cost you a pretty penny because it's going to provide a massive boost to PC gaming. Should we call it a “game changer?” It will undoubtedly be listed as one of the most powerful GPUs in the market in the coming year. You will want to get your hands on the graphic cards before they stock out.

In this guide, we’ll get you equipped to track the availability of RTX 4090 on the NVIDIA store and their listed retailers. As an example, we’ll walk you through the steps to set up Distill to track the availability of GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. When the GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 are up for sale, you can follow the exact same steps to buy them before they stock out. Without further ado, let’s get started.

Where can you check RTX 4090 stock availability?

In the US, the predominant retail distributors are going to be the eCommerce giants like Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy

As always, the easiest place to find RTX 4090 would be Nvidia's online store. One can easily visit this page and set up notifications:

While NVIDIA’s website gives everyone the option to sign-up for notifications, often such a notification would come much later than the actual release point of the product. This coupled with the controlled number of GPUs which will get released makes it extremely hard to get one.

Hence, we suggest that you don't leave your chances of getting your hands on the RTX 4090 GPU to NVIDIA’s notification engine but instead, own your destiny. The best way to ensure you are on top of the market is to track the availability of the GPUs using a website change monitoring tool like Distill

The below section will detail how you can set up an RTX 4090 stock tracker using Distill on multiple websites and e-retailers.

How to set up RTX 4090 GPU stock tracker?

1. Nvidia Online store

Almost all of the flagship products of NVIDIA are showcased at store.nvidia.com. A website change tracker of Distill, when set up to track a search query, e.g.: “RTX 4090”, will search for the text in the list of featured titles on the webpage.

Whenever Distill detects a change in the webpage, e.g.: If it finds the keyword “RTX 4090” added to the webpage, it will send you a notification. You can be alerted of the webpage change via email, slack, discord, or a webhook that can be integrated into your workflow.

To make it easier to monitor, we have created a monitor and exported it as JSON. It can be imported into Distill’s Watchlist as documented in - How to export and import monitors in Distill?

Copy the following JSON into your clipboard.
Follow the steps in the video guide to import JSON in Distill’s Watchlist.
Once imported, the Distill will start tracking the Nvidia Store for available GPUs.
Click on “Edit Options” on your monitor. Navigate to “Add Actions” and set up alerts via email/any other channel to get notified when the GPU is available.

Pro-tips to track stock of GeForce RTX 4090 on amazon

Amazon’s search results page allows you to set specific conditions by selecting parameters like “price” and “stock availability”. Use them to narrow down or sort the search results.
Setting up website change tracking for SKU availability can help immediately get alerts when the product becomes available next (or also when it is running out of stock, with only a few items left)
To ensure the notifications are available to you on the go, we recommend using the Distill android or iOS app on your phone.

We hope that the above information helps you track the availability of GPUs in the high-demand electronic components markets. With the current ongoing squeeze in the supply chain and the ever-increasing demand for faster computing power, it is almost impossible to find these components as they simply vanish the moment they hit the stores. Automate the process of finding the GPUs with Distill Web Monitor.
