Nvidia GeForce RTX 40-Series Super GPU tentative specs and launch dates leaked

Rumors surrounding Nvidia's intention to refresh its desktop GPU lineup with "Super" variants of the GeForce RTX 40-Series GPUs have been circulating for some time, initially met with skepticism. However, recent leaks suggest that Nvidia is set to unveil the GeForce RTX 4080 Super, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super, and GeForce RTX 4070 Super at an event on January 8, with a gradual rollout in the subsequent month. According to reports from IT Home, EXPreview, and an alleged Nvidia document shared by Hassan Mujtaba, the official introduction of the new GeForce RTX 40-series Super graphics cards is scheduled just a day before the commencement of CES 2024.

In terms of availability, the GeForce RTX 4070 Super is expected to hit store shelves on January 17, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super on January 24, and the GeForce RTX 4080 Super on January 31. Notably, the specifications of these purported GPUs have been re-emphasized. The GeForce RTX 4080 Super is anticipated to feature a fully-enabled AD103 GPU, slightly faster memory than its predecessor, and a consistent total graphics power (TGP) of 320W. Projected to be priced between $999 and $1,099, it could overshadow the original RTX 4080. Meanwhile, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super may be equipped with either AD103-275 or AD102-175 GPU, boasting 8448 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR6X memory. With a rumored official recommended retail price between $799 and $849, it could lead to a swift phase-out of the non-Super GeForce RTX 4070 Ti or a significant price reduction. As for the GeForce RTX 4070 Super, speculations suggest it will be based on the AD104-350 or AD103-175 GPU, featuring 7168 CUDA cores, a notable increase from the 5888 CUDA cores in the non-Super RTX 4070. The product's MSRP is speculated to be between $599 and $649, potentially rendering the original GeForce RTX 4070 obsolete or prompting a significant price reduction.

While information is derived from multiple sources, it should be approached with caution, as plans in the tech industry often undergo changes. Pricing, specifications, and availability are yet to be officially confirmed, but the likelihood of the introduction of these new GPUs next month seems relatively high.
