The $599.99 RTX 4070 Super will only ship on January 17th
GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series graphics card | SUPER fast. SUPER driven.
During CES 2024, Nvidia announced its mid-generation refresh of the GeForce RTX 40 series desktop graphics cards, titled the RTX 40 Super series. Three of its GPUs get superfied: the RTX 4070, 4070 Ti, and 4080. Across the board, these GPUs are packed with more everything, from shader and ray tracing cores, to the Tensor AI cores integrated with get its graphics capability for deep learning supersampling (DLSS) to work. Nvidia's blog post covering this announcement goes into more depth on the improvements, but here's the quick version.
Each of the three comes in at a price that is either the same or slightly cheaper than the original versions of the RTX 40 series. The lowest-end RTX 4070 Super with 12GB of GDDR6X video memory is priced the same at $599.99 (launching January 17), but its core count puts it much closer to the performance of the RTX 4070 Ti, which probably makes it a great choice for people who want to play games without compromise in 1440p. While its total graphics power has risen to 220 W over the 200 in the RTX 4070, it still requires a 650 W power supply in your PC.
The $799.99 RTX 4070 Ti Super is now much closer to the RTX 4080 in terms of performance (seeing a trend here?) than the original model was. This is due to an increase in cores, plus a jump from 12 GB to 16 GB of video memory. Power requirements are virtually identical between the new and old 4070 Ti versions, requiring at least a 700W power supply. It's hard to imagine this card struggling to run anything at 1440p well – or at 4K, depending on the title. This one premieres on January 24th.
