Arr, me hearties! Avast ye! Nvidia's grand new RTX 4070 Super be gettin' a hearty cheer from critics, but word be spreadin' that it ain't vanishing from the shelves, me buckos!
Nvidia's RTX 4070 Super graphics card has reportedly had lackluster sales on its initial day of release. Moore's Law is Dead (MLID) on YouTube discussed the response to the new Super revamp and received negative feedback from sources at retailers and distributors. Stock for the RTX 4070 Super remains strong, with no models out of stock and both variants available at the MSRP. However, inventory levels are lighter than expected, and sales have been described as "very low." Some sources even claim that sales are a "disaster" and worse than the RTX 4080's sales on launch day. The RTX 4070 Super launch inventory is about half of what the RTX 4070 had upon its release. One possible reason for the lack of interest is that gamers wanted an upgrade to 16GB of video memory, as opposed to the 12GB offered by the RTX 4070 Super. Additionally, the pricing of the graphics card, which is upper-mid-range, is leaving some customers dissatisfied. AMD's RX 7800 XT, which is cheaper than the RTX 4070 Super, is seen as a better value proposition. It is uncertain whether Nvidia will adjust the pricing or focus on pushing the RTX 4070 Ti Super with its 16GB of VRAM. Future shipments of the RTX 4070 Super may be more skewed towards custom models priced above the MSRP. Overall, the initial response to the RTX 4070 Super has been underwhelming, and it remains to be seen if sales will improve in the future.
