# Ada Lovelace

Architecture: NVIDIA

Also called ada, ada lovelace, rtx 40

NVIDIA, Architecture

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series GPU architecture. The RTX 4070 is a common desktop example.

## What you need to know

Ada Lovelace is the RTX 40-series architecture.

Desktop Ada cards span a wide power and VRAM range. The SKU name is not a cooler, a length, or a power plug. Read the partner card.

- **Still good?**: Yes, for many 1440p PCs

  **Partner cards?**: Cooler and power plugs vary

  **Next series?**: Newer GeForce lines exist

Feex says

If games feel slow on an Ada card, I would check the CPU, RAM, and the monitor cable before I assume the architecture is old.

## What Ada Lovelace is

Ada Lovelace is NVIDIA's architecture for GeForce RTX 40-series GPUs. It is the generation behind cards such as the RTX 4070.

## What it means on a PC

You get current-generation features for that series, including DLSS on supported titles. VRAM size still decides how comfortable 1440p and 4K feel. Partner cards change coolers and connectors.

## Upgrade notes

Moving to a later NVIDIA series is a card swap, not a socket. Measure the case, the PSU plugs, and the rest of the PC.

- Read the partner card length
- Match the power connectors
- Plug the display into the GPU
