Avast ye, AMD! Beware the might o' Nvidia's newfangled RTX Super graphics cards, for if this scuttlebutt be true, they be a fierce rival to yer treasure.
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, Nvidia's rumored RTX Super graphics cards are said to be launching at CES 2024. The pricing details for these cards have been revealed, with the RTX 4070 Super priced at $599, the RTX 4070 Ti Super at $799, and the RTX 4080 Super at $999. These prices have been confirmed by sources within Nvidia, as well as a distributor and a graphics card manufacturer.Spec rumors suggest that the RTX 4080 Super will have a 5% increase in performance compared to the previous model, while the RTX 4070 Ti Super will see a 10% increase in graphics cores and 16GB of VRAM. The RTX 4070 Super will have a significant 20% increase in CUDA cores.
These prices align with previous rumors and are at the optimistic end of the scale. The RTX 4080 Super will replace the RTX 4080, which will be scrapped due to the lower price point of the Super model. The RTX 4070 Ti will also be replaced by the Ti Super model.
The most exciting refresh in terms of value is the RTX 4080 Super, which will provide a 25% better value proposition than the previous model. The RTX 4070 Ti Super will also offer a similar advancement in value, particularly with its 16GB of VRAM.
These price predictions may force AMD to reconsider the pricing of its RX 7900 models, as well as the RX 7800 XT, which will be directly challenged by the RTX 4070 Super. However, the 7800 XT has already seen a drop in pricing, suggesting preemptive movement from Team Red. In the end, the consumer will benefit from the competition between Nvidia and AMD.
