Avast, ye landlubbers! Be wary, for Nvidia be launchin' its RTX Super refreshes, set to be priced so high that they'll make the RX 7900 GPUs walk the plank, straight into the depths of oblivion!
Nvidia is rumored to be releasing a trio of refreshed graphics cards, the RTX 4070 and RTX 4080 Super. The pricing for these cards has not been finalized yet, but if they are priced as low as speculated, they could pose a threat to AMD and its RX 7900 models. The potential names, specs, and performance levels of the cards have been leaked by Moore's Law is Dead (MLID), a well-known YouTube leaker. According to MLID, the cards will likely include an RTX 4080 Super 16GB, an RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB, and an RTX 4070 Super 12GB. It is also suggested that the RTX 4080 Super will not use the AD102 GPU and will not have 20GB of VRAM. The leaker argues that even lower-quality AD102 chips would not be used in the 4080 Super, as they could be better repurposed in other graphics cards. MLID provides potential pricing ranges for the Super models, with the worst-case scenario being an RTX 4080 Super priced between $1,199 and $1,249. The best-case scenario suggests an RTX 4080 Super priced between $999 and $1,119. These Super models could potentially lead to the discontinuation of the current RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti. The final decisions on pricing and specifications have not been made yet, so these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt. However, it is clear that Nvidia is looking to compete with AMD in the upper mid-range GPU market.
