Nvidia announces RTX 4080 Super, 4070 Ti Super and 4070 Super graphics cards
Nvidia announced its latest slew of RTX graphics cards in a press conference today to kick off CES 2024, with the RTX 40-series being extended with three new 'Super' variants: the $999 RTX 4080 Super, the $799 RTX 4070 Ti Super and the $599 RTX 4070 Super. We'd already discussed these cards on this week's DF Direct following comprehensive leaks, but the official announcement includes some fascinating extra details - and the combination of spec bumps plus price cuts in some cases could result in high-end GPUs becoming more affordable.
These new Super cards are set to be released throughout January at one week intervals, with RTX 4070 Super cards on shelves on the 17th, followed by 4070 Ti Supers on the 24th and 4080 Supers on the 31st - an intriguing strategy that may shore up availability. The 4080S and 4070S are set to be available in Nvidia Founders Editions in addition to the usual third-party options, while the 4070 Ti Super goes without a first-party FE model. Note that the 4080 Super and 4070 Ti Super cards replace their non-Super counterparts, while the 4070 remains available at $549, creating a seven-card stack from the RTX 4060 to the RTX 4090.
Looking at the confirmed specs of each card versus their same-tier predecessors, there are a few surprises alongside the expected bumps. For example, the RTX 4070 Ti Super gets the AD103 GPU previously reserved for the RTX 4080, with a healthy 10 percent increase in CUDA cores - plus a full 16GB of GDDR6X memory with a 256-bit bus, versus 12GB and a 192-bit bus on the original 4070 Ti. Boost clocks and rated power draw remain the same though, so we'd expect a relatively moderate performance increase here.
