Performance Boost and Price Drop

Nvidia emphasizes the enhanced performance of the RTX 4080 Super, boasting double the power of its predecessor, the RTX 3080 Ti. Ideal for 4K gaming enthusiasts, this GPU aims to deliver a cutting-edge experience. The RTX 4070 Ti Super targets high-end 1440p gaming, providing 2.5 times the performance of the RTX 3070 Ti. The RTX 4070 Super, positioned as a mid-range 1440p solution, promises optimal value for its users.

Pricing and Availability

Nvidia has scheduled the release of these GPUs throughout January:

• RTX 4070 Super: January 17th, starting at $599
• RTX 4070 Ti Super: January 24th, priced at $799 (No Founder's Edition available)
• RTX 4080 Super: January 31st, with a starting price of $999

Nvidia has confirmed that the Super variants of its graphics cards will replace the non-Super variants. The only exception to this is the RTX 4090, which Nvidia claims is "substantially faster" than the new RTX 4080 Super GPU.
