Meet the RTX 4070 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4080 Super
It’s still a card for the enviably monied, but yes, the RTX 4080 Super will start from $959 / $999 when it launches on January 31st. That’s a sizeable reduction on the originalRTX 4080’s laughable £1269 / $1199 launch price, and while the latter has been available below a grand since then, that’s mainly been in limited-time sales.
The other two Supers don’t make such drastic cuts, but at least they’re no more expensive than their forebears either. TheRTX 4070 Superwill arrive first, on January 17th, and will cost £579 / $599 – give or take a tenner, same as theRTX 4070did when it first landed in PCIe slots. Only now, it’s for a card which Nvidia say is potentially up to twice as fast as the RTX 3090. Provided you count the AI-generated frames ofDLSS 3as real frames, anyway.
The RTX 4070 Ti Super, meanwhile, will start from £769 / $799 - modestly down on the £840 / $830RTX 4070 Ti- and will release on January 24th. While this is the only RTX 40 Super GPU without a Founders Edition, I reckon it could be the most interesting of the three: memory in particular is getting a hefty upgrade, doubling from 8GB to 16GB of GDDRX and swapping the original GPU’s 192-bit bus for a more high-end 256-bit design.4Kplay could stand to gain a lot from those upgrades, and while the RTX 4080 Super and RTX 4070 Super represent tune-ups, they’re not benefitting from total VRAM refits like this.
