As reports have been suggesting for some time now, Nvidia has launched three Super graphics cards at CES, all of which are coming out in January. These include the GeForce RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super – yes that's the official name – and the RTX 4070 Super. The first product to hit the market is the RTX 4070 Super, available on January 17th at $600. This GPU is launching at the same price point as the original RTX 4070. However, the 4070 isn't being discontinued; instead, it has received an official price cut to $550 – a price we first saw in the last few months of 2023. The 4070 Super is still using AD104 silicon, similar to the 4070 and 4070 Ti, but receives a configuration closer to the 4070 Ti. Compared to the 4070, the SM count has increased from 46 to 56, bringing with it 7,168 CUDA cores – just shy of the 60 SMs and 7,680 CUDA cores of the 4070 Ti. However, the memory subsystem is the same as the RTX 4070, so we're getting 12GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504 GB/s of bandwidth. Nvidia has shown a performance slide demonstrating the difference relative to the RTX 3070 and RTX 2070, with and without frame generation. They also provided a performance claim relative to the RTX 4070. While this should be taken with a grain of salt, as it's Nvidia's own benchmarking, they claim the 4070 Super is 15% faster than the 4070 and 5% slower than the 4070 Ti.
The RTX 4070 Ti Super will be available next, on January 24th at $800, replacing the RTX 4070 Ti. The old model will be discontinued. The 4070 Ti Super represents the minimum improvement that should have been offered with the 4070 Ti at this price point.
The 4070 Ti Super upgrades from AD104 to AD103, bringing substantial memory improvements. We're now getting a 256-bit memory interface with 16GB of GDDR6X memory, up from the previous 12GB. The core configuration is a cut-down AD103, though still higher than the original 4070 Ti on AD104, offering 66 SMs and 8,448 CUDA cores – a 10% increase, achieved at the same 285W TGP. Nvidia suggests this model should be 10% faster than the RTX 4070 Ti, combined with a significant increase in VRAM capacity, seems like a reasonable improvement
Finally, there's the RTX 4080 Super, launching on January 31st at $1,000. This model has the least hardware changes compared to its non-Super predecessor, which is being discontinued. It's still an AD103 GPU die, fully unlocked with 80 SMs and 10,240 CUDA cores. We're still getting 16GB of GDDR6X memory with a slight frequency increase, taking it to 23 Gbps. Nvidia expects this card to be just 3% faster than the RTX 4080, which is understandable given the hardware similarities. The big improvement to the RTX 4080 Super is the price. The original 4080 launched at $1,200, so Nvidia is now offering a marginally faster product for $200 less.
