Arr, me hearties! Methinks the legendary Nvidia's RTX 4070 Super be settin' sail to the shelves. But will these shelves be as empty as a stranded treasure chest ere ye get the chance to seize one?
Nvidia's upcoming RTX 4070 Super graphics cards and other Super refreshes have been spotted with prices at US retailers ahead of their launch. The RTX 4070 Super is the majority of the listed products, priced at $599, which is the MSRP of Nvidia's Founders Edition. It's interesting to see Best Buy offering an overclocked model at the MSRP, as these models are usually more expensive. The overall pricing looks reasonably affordable. The RTX 4070 Super will be released first, followed by the RTX 4070 Ti Super and then the RTX 4080 Super. The latter two GPUs have a few priced models, with overclocked versions priced slightly above the MSRP. These prices are for the US market, but similar pricing can be expected in other regions relative to the MSRP in those countries.The stock levels of the RTX 4070 Super will be closely watched as it's the first new model and is expected to have high demand due to its pricing and promised performance. Nvidia has reportedly focused most of its production capacity on this model. The stock volume and potential price gouging are yet to be seen. The stock levels of the RTX 4070 Ti Super and 4080 Super may be lower, with rumors suggesting they will be thinner on the ground. Nvidia may want to clear existing stock of the 4070 Ti and 4080 before pushing the new refreshes. Costlier models of these refreshes will also be available, with top-end boards commanding a premium. It will be interesting to see which of these products will make it onto the best graphics cards list.
