RTX 4080, RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4070 Super Release Dates Leak

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4000 Super graphics cards are expected to start selling from January 2024. It includes RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super & RTX 4070 Super.

About a year ago, Nvidia released the RTX 40 series of graphics cards. While the RTX 4090 was praised for its unmatchable performance, all the other graphics cards in the series received mixed reviews.

The reasons are simple, when compared to the RTX 3000 graphics cards, the RTX 4000 graphics cards offer unexciting uplift in performance, while being expensive at the same time.

With Nvidia unlikely to release the RTX 50 series anytime soon, Nvidia wants to do something to increase the sales of the RTX 40. This means making Super versions of the RTX 40 series graphics cards.

RTX 40 Super Release Dates Leak

ITHome reports (via VideoCardz) that Nvidia is going to announce the RTX 40 Super series of graphics cards on 8 January 2024. Interestingly, it’s the same day that Intel is going to release the non-K version of Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs. It should be called a day of refreshes.

Anyway, the RTX 40 Super series is going to have three new graphics cards at launch. The RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super & RTX 4070 Super. While the RTX 4070 Super will release on 17th January, the RTX 4070 Ti Super will come on January 24 and RTX 4080 Super will be available on January 31.

Another interesting thing is what they are replacing as per the reports. While RTX 4080 Super and RTX 4070 Ti Super will replace their non-Super versions, the RTX 4070 Super and RTX 4070 will coexist.

RTX 40 Super Specs

The RTX 4080 Super is likely to be priced at $999. Which is $200 cheaper than what RTX 4080 was at launch. It’s likely going to use the AD103-400 GPU. The RTX 4080 Super will come with 10240 CUDA cores. It will come with 256-bit memory bus width with 16GB VRAM. The VRAM itself will be based on GDDR6X running at 24Gbps. The TDP will be 320W. It’s likely going to be 6%-9% faster than RTX 4080.

The RTX 4070 Ti Super is likely to be priced around $799-849, which makes it the same or more expensive than the RTX 4070 Ti at launch. It’s going to use either AD103-275 or AD102-175 GPU. The RTX 4070 Ti Super will come with 8448 CUDA cores. It will come with 256-bit memory bus. It will come with 16GB VRAM, which is 4GB more than RTX 4070 Ti. The VRAM will be running at 21-22.4Gbps. The RTX 4070 Ti Super is said to be 14%-22% faster than the RTX 4070 Ti. The performance is said to be similar to the RTX 4080.

The RTX 4070 Super is likely to be priced around $599-$649, which makes it the same or more expensive than the RTX 4070 at launch. It’s going to use either AD104-350 or AD103-175 GPU. The RTX 4070 Super will come with 7168 CUDA cores. It will come with 192-bit memory bus. In terms of VRAM, it comes with 12GB GDDR6X with a speed of 21Gbps. The performance is said to be similar to the RTX 4070 Ti.

Conclusion

The RTX 4000 graphics cards have been unexciting. So the Super refresh graphics cards are much welcomed. Especially if they can provide better performance at the same price. What’s also good is that it’s going to release sooner, rather than later.

What we wish to see, however, is Nvidia also releasing a Super version of RTX 4060 too. Not forget, they should release an affordable RTX 4050 so that budget gamers can buy the RTX 40 series too.
