Nvidia RTX 4000 Super GPUs could launch in January, starting with the RTX 4070 Super

[Daniel Sims]

Rumor mill: Information from trusted leakers has painted a clear picture of Nvidia's unconfirmed refresh of the RTX 4000 series over the last few weeks. The latest rumors now reveal the exact release dates for the three GPUs, predicting sequential launches in the weeks following CES.

Chinese hardware outlet IT Home reports that the GeForce RTX 4070 Super will be available on January 17, followed by the RTX 4070 Ti Super on January 24, and the RTX 4080 Super on January 31. Previous information indicates Nvidia plans to unveil the new lineup during a special address confirmed for January 8, the day before CES begins.

IT Home and other sources have reiterated previously leaked information regarding specs. Each card is expected to outperform its non-Super predecessor at a similar or slightly higher price and TDP. Consequently, they are likely to replace the original high-end RTX 4000 cards as Nvidia shifts production.

The RTX 4070 Super will feature either the AD104-350 or AD103-175 GPU with 7,168 cores. With approximately 21 percent more cores than its predecessor, the card could nearly match the original RTX 4070 Ti. The price is expected to remain at $599 or rise to $649.

Meanwhile, the RTX 4070 Ti Super, utilizing the AD103-275 or AD102-175 GPU with 8,448 cores, could see a performance uplift between 14 and 22 percent. VRAM increases from 12 GB to 16 GB with an MSRP of either $799 or $849. Prior leaks doubted whether the 4070 Ti Super would launch, but the latest information assumes it will.

Finally, the RTX 4080 Super sees a more modest improvement – only 6-9 percent utilizing the AD103-400 GPU with 10,240 cores. Fortunately, its price drops from $1,199 to $999.

Overall, the new lineup could be closer to what customers originally desired from the Ada Lovelace generation. Some were disappointed with slight performance improvements that didn't justify its price increases over the RTX 3000 series. Expanding the RTX 4070 Ti's memory from 12 GB to 16 GB could be an especially welcome move.

Looking further ahead, AMD might unveil and launch a GPU sometime next year that could match one of the RTX 4000 Super cards for under $600, creating a compelling product. Nvidia is expected to respond with the 3nm-based RTX 5000 series, either later in 2024 or sometime in 2025.

Nvidia needs to get these out ASAP before the ps5 pro will eat its lunch. in the mid to low end tiers.

For $999 instead of $1999 it's like a bargain or something, I shall definitelly buy a RTX 4080 Supra, to play CoD while being shelled by Ivan.

If the 4080 Super is $999 it will be palatable on pricing and should comfortably beat 7900XTX on average (sand RTing).

4070 Ti Super though at $799 seems best bet as it gains the biggest performance jump and will force AMD to make some hard decisions on 7900XT pricing. IMO the latter will need to drop to $699 and IMO XTX should drop to $899, which frankly should have been the launch prices all along. They would have taken a big chunk out of Nvidia's market share with those prices 12 months ago. Now they will be a bind as the new Super products greatly improve price to performance ratios and finally the 4070 Ti gets the bus width and memory it should have always had.

Too bad Nvidia don't revamp the garbage class 4060 series too. 4060 Ti should be AD106, 256 bit, 16GB, 40MB L2 cache, 4060 should be AD107 192 bit, 12GB. They could relaunch the current 4060's as 4050's which is what they really are and cut $100 and $150 off the prices respectively.

Yawn; really underwhelming incremental price chipping. Be better off keeping the 16 series in production istead of the big score.
