I do recall an 8K push but I thought that was on the 3090 (and was conditional on DLSS doing the heavy lifting). I don't remember any general marketing about the 4090 being an 8K card but I could very well have missed it or be mixing things up! I mean it does make sense to market it for 8K since anyone who is trying to drive that many pixels when gaming probably has deep pockets.

I recall the 3090 8K marketing too. However, I also recall Nvidia talking about 8K in reference to the 4090:

That said, I recall that the media was more enthusiastic about christening the 4090 as an 8K card than Nvidia was:
