In the gaming community, the RTX 4080, 4070 Ti, and 4070 Super GPUs will get attention.
As of this morning at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Nvidia has officially revealed its Super range of RTX 40-series graphics processing units (GPUs). In the process of doing so, the company has also fixed the costs of at least three of its GPUs. Reportedly, Nvidia is averse to any formal price reduction, so the company is instead updating its graphics processing units (GPUs) and either cutting the price or maintaining the same price in order to make each card a significantly better value. All things considered, it will result in a $200 decrease in the price of the RTX 4080, while maintaining the same price for the 4070 cards and providing each of them with a significant improvement in their specifications. Despite the fact that Nvidia’s presentation has verified pricing, the specifications were found by Videocardz.
The RTX 4080 Super will receive the most modest improvement of the lineup. It will receive a little increase in both the number of CUDA cores and the memory bandwidth, which is made possible by the addition of GDDR6X memory, which is of a slightly quicker speed. The graphics processing unit (GPU) continues to make use of the AD103 chip, although it now has 10,240 CUDA cores, which is down from 9,728 in its predecessor. Additionally, its memory speed has improved from 22.4 gigabytes per second to 23 gigabytes per second, resulting in an increase in memory bandwidth from 716.8 gigabytes per second to 736 gigabytes per second. As these modifications are quite minor, it is highly probable that the card will be approximately five percent faster than its predecessor. Nevertheless, the price will be $999, which is a completely unexpected change for this graphics processing unit. Nvidia is able to directly compete with AMD‘s flagship RX 7900 XTX because to the fact that it is $200 less expensive than the 4080. This graphics processing unit (GPU) will take the place of the 4080 in the lineup and will be available on January 31.
It is expected that the RTX 4070 Ti Super will take the position of the previous card while also receiving significant modifications that could get it closer to the region of the RTX 4080. The memory of this GPU has been increased from 12 gigabytes to 16 gigabytes, which was a significant source of dispute for this GPU. This is the most significant modification. Because it was just 12 gigabytes and cost $799, people were dissatisfied with it, therefore Nvidia has now fixed that issue. A 192-bit memory bus has been expanded to a 256-bit bus in order to accommodate the increase. This means that the memory bus has been upgraded. Because to this modification, its memory bandwidth will experience an increase from 504GB/s to 672GB/s. Additionally, it will receive an increase in the number of CUDA cores, which will grow from 7,680 to 8,448. This represents a 10% increase. This graphics processing unit (GPU) will take the place of the current card, and the price will remain the same at $799. On January 24th, it will be available for purchase.
And last but not least, there is the RTX 4070 Super. While receiving a significant increase in CUDA cores, this graphics processing unit (GPU) maintains the memory configuration of the previous card. In comparison to the previous model, which had 5,888 cores, the Super version will have 7,168 cores, which is a 20% increase. It has the same 192-bit memory bus and the same 21Gb/s GDDR6X memory, with slightly higher clock speeds. Other than that, it comes with the same features. It is the only Super card that will receive a power increase as a result of these changes, which will bring its total base power (TBP) up by 20W to 220W. It will be available for purchase on January 17 at the same price of $599 as the original, and it will be delivered.
Although it is still included in the lineup, the original RTX 4070 has had its price reduced by $50, bringing it down to $549. Since Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs) are still superior in terms of ray tracing and upscaling, this will put additional pressure on the Radeon 7800 XT, which costs $499. These are the final prices and lineups that Nvidia has established for the 40-series graphics cards. The rest of Nvidia’s lineup, which consists of only the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti cards with 8GB and 16GB, have not been altered from their current prices of $299, $399, and $499.
According to previous statements made by Nvidia, the company’s next architecture will be codenamed Blackwell and will be released in the latter half of 2024. On the other hand, Nvidia is known for releasing its server products first, so if this pattern continues, we can anticipate the GeForce 50 series to be released sometime in the early part of 2025.
