First of all, we got RTX 4000 GPUs for laptops, and there were a bunch of these.

A full house, in fact: RTX 4050, 4060, 4070, 4080 and 4090 GPUs.

Its no surpriseNvidia wanted to keep that model released on the quiet, though.

Finally, some of Nvidias new graphics trickery has made its way to previous-gen GPUs.
