GIGABYTE Flaunts Custom GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Graphics Cards at CES

GIGABYTE revealed its GeForce RTX 40 SUPER graphics card range earlier this week, and TPU staff in attendance at CES 2024 were most pleased to see some of these models on display at the manufacturer's Las Vegas Convention Center booth. The existing EAGLE OC shroud design was the first to attract our photographer's attention—it has been reused to house and temper NVIDIA's latest GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16 GB GPU.

The futuristic aesthetic—comprised of cosmic-themed graphics, symbols, and geometric shapes—and protective metal backplate encase GIGABYTE's WINDFORCE cooling system. We see three (alternate spinning) 80 mm unique blade fans, along with eight composite copper heat pipes, and a copper plate directly touching the GPU. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER EAGLE OC 16G has an integrated RGB lighting system.

NVIDIA Announces the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series Graphics Cards

NVIDIA today gave its GeForce RTX 40-series "Ada" a midlife refresh targeting the higher end of its product stack, with the new GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. The new RTX 4080 SUPER replaces the current RTX 4080, which will gradually be phased out of the market. The new RTX 4070 Ti SUPER does the same to the current RTX 4070 Ti. The RTX 4070 SUPER, however, will coexist with the current RTX 4070, albeit at a slight price premium. The RTX 4070 SUPER and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER are both being recommended by NVIDIA for maxed out 1440p gaming with full ray tracing; while the RTX 4080 SUPER is for those who want to max out gameplay at 4K with full ray tracing. The RTX 4070 SUPER and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER should still very much be capable of 4K gaming and more than acceptable frame rates, especially given the latest DLSS 3 Frame Generation and its proliferation among new AAA titles.

NVIDIA is giving the three new graphics card SKUs a staggered launch spread across January 2024. The RTX 4070 SUPER should be available to purchase on January 17, at a starting price of $599, which was the original MSRP of the RTX 4070. After this launch, the RTX 4070 slides down a bit to $549 while remaining in the product stack. Things get interesting higher up the stack. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, which goes on sale on January 24, is priced at $799, while the current RTX 4070 Ti is being retired from the product stack. The remaining RTX 4070 Ti cards should be up at slightly discounted prices.

ZOTAC GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Lineup Leaked

Pictures of ZOTAC's custom-design GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER graphics cards hit the web. These look, unsurprisingly, similar to the company's custom-design RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti graphics cards, reusing existing cooler designs, with the exception being the new SKU markings on the boxes. It's what's on the silicon that counts. ZOTAC's custom RTX 4070 SUPER lineup includes the TwinEdge and TwinEdge OC at price points close to NVIDIA's baseline price; and a premium SKU in the form of the Trinity Black. There may be more SKUs than the pictures leaked, given that there is an RTX 4070 AMP AIRO.

The TwinEdge is a compact board design that covers the basics. It is 2 slots thick, although about a half inch taller than what constitutes "full height." The cooler features a compact aluminium fin-stack heatsink, which is ventilated by a pair of fans. Unlike the RTX 4070 TwinEdge, the RTX 4070 SUPER TwinEdge could replace the single 8-pin PCIe power connector with a 12VHPWR, given that the TGP of the GPU is rumored to be 220 W. The Trinity Black is a more high-end looking product, with a triple-slot cooler, a roughly 31 cm card length, and 12 cm height, if the RTX 4070 Ti Trinity Black is anything to go by.

NVIDIA Teases GeForce RTX 40-series SUPER for CES Unveiling

The Twitter handle of NVIDIA GeForce just updated its header picture, with that seems to us like the silhouette of its upcoming GeForce RTX 40-series SUPER graphics card. NVIDIA is expected to debut three new high-end graphics card SKUs at its CES event on January 8, with reviews and product availability of the three expected to go live in the following weeks. The lineup includes the RTX 4070 SUPER, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and the RTX 4080 SUPER. Market availability of the three, according to older reports, pin them at January 17 for the RTX 4070 SUPER, January 24 for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and January 31 for the RTX 4080 SUPER.

Various MSI RTX 40-series SUPER Graphics Cards Get Placeholder Listings with E-Tailers

Unreleased MSI GeForce RTX 40-series SUPER graphics cards are beginning to show up on European online retailers, VideoCardz reports. These are placeholder listings, meaning that they're just there to feed the spiders and get customers to check back for pre-orders. A Swiss retailer has the MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER listed at prices ranging between 1,230 CHF ($1,465) for the cheapest Ventus 3X model, and 1,355 CHF ($1,613) for the most premium SUPRIM X model. These prices are inclusive of 18% taxes, which points to the likelihood that the RTX 4080 SUPER has an NVIDIA MSRP of approximately $1,200, displacing the current RTX 4080 from its launch MSRP. The RTX 4080 can be occasionally seen listed for as low as $1,180.

Meanwhile, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is seeing its prices range from 992 CHF ($1,180, including taxes) for the cheapest model to 1,063 CHF ($1,265), pointing to the possibility of a $950 MSRP. This SKU might not displace the current RTX 4070 Ti from its $800 MSRP, with street prices starting at $790. Lastly, there's the RTX 4070 SUPER, starting at 777 CHF ($924) including taxes for the cheapest model, and 848 CHF ($1009) for the priciest one, which points to the likelihood of a $700 MSRP, which again, doesn't seem to be displacing the RTX 4070 from its $600 starting price. Again, placeholder prices tend to be wildly off the mark, and we'll only know what's on NVIDIA's mind on January 8, when it announces the three in its CES presentation.

NVIDIA to Address 2024 International CES on January 8, Possibly Announce SUPER

NVIDIA confirmed that it will address the 2024 International CES on January 8, at 8 am PT. This aligns perfectly with reports that the company is planning to refresh its GeForce RTX 40 series with the introduction of three new high-end graphics card SKUs, namely the RTX 4070 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and the RTX 4080 SUPER. The three are expected to be announced in this address, with product launches across the following three weeks. NVIDIA might not confine its CES spotlight to GeForce RTX, and we can expect some action even in the data-center front, given that 2024 might see the company debut its "Blackwell" architecture. In the meantime, head over to the NVIDIA YouTube channel, where the stream's placeholder is up, and where you can set up a notification.

ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Dual OC Snapped—Goodbye 8-pin

Here are some of the first pictures of the ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Dual OC, the company's close-to-MSRP custom-design implementation of the upcoming RTX 4070 SUPER, which is expected to be announced on January 8, with reviews and retail availability a week later. The card very closely resembles the design of the RTX 4070 Dual OC, but with one major difference—the single 8-pin PCIe power connector makes way for a 16-pin 12VHPWR. Considering that the ASUS Dual OC series tends to come with a nominal factory OC at power limits matching NVIDIA reference, this is the first sign that the RTX 4070 SUPER in general might have typical graphics power (TGP) above what a single 8-pin could fulfill, and so we've given a 12VHPWR, just like every RTX 4070 Ti. The cards will include an NVIDIA-designed adapter that converts two 8-pin PCIe to a 12VHPWR, with its signal pins set to tell the graphics card that it can deliver 300 W of continuous power.

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is based on the same AD104 silicon as the RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti, with its ASIC code rumored to be "AD104-350." The SKU allegedly enables 56 out of 60 streaming multiprocessors (SM) present on the silicon, giving it 7,168 out of 7,680 CUDA cores. This is a big increase from the 5,888 CUDA cores (46 SM) that the vanilla RTX 4070 is configured with. The memory subsystem is expected to be unchanged from the RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti—12 GB of 21 Gbps GDDR6X across a 192-bit memory interface; leaving NVIDIA with one possible lever, the ROP count. While the RTX 4070 Ti has 80 ROPs, the RTX 4070 has 64. It remains to be seen how many the RTX 4070 SUPER gets. Its rumored TGP of 225 W is behind the switch to 12VHPWR connectors.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 4070 SUPER Release Dates Leaked

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series SUPER lineup is real, and is coming this January, Chinese tech site IT Home reports. The publication released the exact dates on which NVIDIA is announcing the series, along with their market availability dates. The lineup refreshes the higher end of the RTX 40-series, and consists of three SKUs—the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER.

According to the IT Home report, NVIDIA in a GeForce RTX event along the sidelines of the 2024 International CES, will announce all three SKUs on January 8. This will be followed by a January 17 release for the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. This is when you'll be able to buy the card. A week later on January 24, the company will make the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER available. Wrapping things up will be the January 31 availability of the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER.

NVIDIA Halts Production of RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 to Make Room for SUPER

NVIDIA has reportedly halted production of GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 graphics cards, allowing the market to digest existing inventories of the two products, so it could create room in the channel for its upcoming GeForce RTX 40-series SUPER graphics cards. The company is expected to announce these cards around the 2024 International CES (January). The SUPER series is being designed to consolidate NVIDIA in the performance-enthusiast segments, and include three SKUs, namely the RTX 4080 SUPER, the RTX 4070 TI SUPER, and the RTX 4070 SUPER. According to the Board Channels post detailing this development, NVIDIA has stopped mass-production of the desktop RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 GPUs, shipped its last orders for Q4-2023, each add-in card (AIC) partner has digested its inventories of these cards, and is awaiting arrival of subsequent new products.

NVIDIA Plans 2024 CES (January) Launch for RTX 40-series SUPER?

NVIDIA is reportedly planning to time the launch of its GeForce RTX 40-series SUPER line of graphics cards with the 2024 International CES, scheduled for January. This is according to kopite7kimi, a reliable source with NVIDIA leaks. The company tends to plan special GeForce RTX gaming events along the sidelines of big trade-shows for new product launches.

The mid-life refresh of the RTX 40-series "Ada" will see the introduction of three new enthusiast-segment graphics card models without disturbing RTX 4090 as the series flagship. In the higher end of things, the company is planning to launch the RTX 4080 SUPER, which could push the performance envelope further above that of the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, and possibly prepare for the upcoming RX 7950 XTX. The unusually named RTX 4070 Ti SUPER could be designed to consolidate at the $800 price-point against the RX 7900 XT. The new RTX 4070 SUPER, meanwhile, could be designed to fix the company's standing at the $600 mark by beating the RX 7800 XT.
Update 05:29 UTC: MEGAsizeGPU revealed the retail branding inserts for boxes, for the RTX 40-series SUPER family. NVIDIA has changed the SUPER logo, replacing a stylized typeface with the same bland sans-serif typeface it uses for the main GeForce RTX branding. It even confirms the existence of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (two brand extensions clumped together).

NVIDIA Readies GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 4080 SUPER

NVIDIA is rumored to be working on a refresh of the higher end of its GeForce RTX 40-series "Ada" series, according to hongxing2020, a reliable source with NVIDIA leaks. The company could be bringing back the SUPER brand extension that it introduced with the RTX 20-series. As many as three SKUs are on the radar—GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER.

There is no word on when the company plans to release these, or what their specifications are, but we can certainly speculate. The current RTX 4080, while based on the AD103 silicon, doesn't max it out—it uses 76 out of 80 SM (streaming multiprocessors) available on the silicon, but we doubt if those extra 4 SM could drive up enough performance to make a whole new SKU, especially given that the 256-bit memory bus of the AD103 is maxed out. We predict that the RTX 4080 SUPER could be based on the larger AD102 silicon that physically has 144 SM that the current RTX 4090 uses 128 out of. NVIDIA has the opportunity to pick an SM count such as, say, 96. AD102 also has a wider 384-bit memory bus, giving NVIDIA the option of either giving the RTX 4080 SUPER the same 24 GB memory configuration as the RTX 4090, or even 20 GB, across a 320-bit memory bus.

NVIDIA Forces MSI to Unlaunch and Recall GeForce RTX 3060 Ti SUPER 3X Graphics Card Over Confusing Naming

NVIDIA has reportedly forced MSI to cancel the launch of its GeForce RTX 3060 Ti SUPER 3X graphics card that the company debuted earlier this month. MSI has also instituted a recall of the card from the retail channel. This is over its confusing name that makes it sound like NVIDIA released a "GeForce RTX 3060 Ti SUPER" SKU, potentially affecting the sales of RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards by other board partners.

"SUPER 3X" is an MSI brand extension given to a custom-design RTX 3060 Ti G6X graphics card that has an identical board design to that of the MSI RTX 3070 Ti SUPRIM, which the company probably had a hard time selling, and later reconfigured as RTX 3060 Ti by fusing the shaders. Probably not wanting to bring its coveted SUPRIM brand extension to the performance segment, MSI decided to give it a new brand-extension. This co-branding job was so sloppy, that you can see remnants of the old SUPRIM brand still printed the card's backplate.

The GeForce RTX 3090 SUPER That Never Was, Pictured

This is probably the only picture of a GeForce RTX 3090 SUPER Founders Edition graphics card. NVIDIA allegedly decided against this branding, in favor of the RTX 3090 Ti, to designate its maxed-out GA102-based graphics card. With no other "SUPER" SKUs in the RTX 30-series and plenty of "Ti," the company probably thought it wasn't worth the trouble to leave the odd SUPER SKU sticking out at the top. The picture surfaced on the NGA Forums, showing the card with prominent "RTX 3090 SUPER" branding etched along the top frame of the cooler. This card has the same device ID as the RTX 3090 Ti, so GPU-Z detects it as such. It also has identical specs to an RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition.

Razer Announces All-New Blade Gaming Laptops at CES 2022

NVIDIA Rumored To Launch RTX 3090 SUPER in January 2022

NVIDIA has been preparing a new flagship graphics card with their RTX 3090 SUPER featuring a fully unlocked GA102 GPU. The RTX 3090 SUPER will include 10,752 CUDA cores, 336 Tensor cores, and 84 RT cores paired with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit wide memory bus. These speed improvements are set to increase the cards TDP to 400 W compared to 350 W for the base RTX 3090. We have recently seen a new rumor from @hongxing2020 that claims NVIDIA will be launching the RTX 3090 SUPER, a refreshed RTX 3070 Ti with 16 GB memory, and the RTX 2060 12 GB in January 2022. The RTX 3090 SUPER and RTX 2060 12 GB launches have been expected for some time but this is the first mention we have seen of an RTX 3070 TI 16 GB.

NVIDIA RTX 30 SUPER Series Specifications Rumored

The NVIDIA RTX 30 SUPER series is expected to be announced by the company early next year in January at CES 2022. We have now received a list of rumored specifications for the upcoming family from kopite7kimi who correctly revealed the RTX 30 series. The list includes four desktop cards with the RTX 3060 SUPER, 3070 SUPER, 3080 SUPER, and 3090 SUPER. The RTX 3060 SUPER is listed as featuring 5632 CUDA cores paired with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory which is a considerable increase from the 4864 CUDA cores and 8 GB of memory found on the RTX 3060 Ti.

The RTX 3070 SUPER appears to feature less of an upgrade with the core count remaining at 5888 and the memory capacity at 8 GB however this will be upgraded from GDDR6 to GDDR6X. The RTX 3080 SUPER will receive 8960 CUDA and 12 GB of GDDR6X memory compared to the 8704 cores and 10 GB memory on the RTX 3080. The new flagship consumer card will be the RTX 3090 SUPER with an extra 256 CUDA cores for a total of 10752 and 24 GB of GDDR6X memory. These specifications are only rumors with the leaker stating that they doubt some of them so we will have to wait for further leaks until we can know with certainty.

HP Lists NVIDIA RTX 3080 SUPER in Upcoming Envy 34 PC

HP recently listed the NVIDIA RTX 3080 SUPER as one of the available options for their upcoming Envy 34 AIO-in-One PC before updating their site to remove the reference. NVIDIA is rumored to refresh its desktop and mobile GPU lineup early next year with the launch of RTX 30 SUPER most likely at CES 2022 in January. The current HP Envy 34 features an RTX 2080 Max-Q mobile card so any potential RTX 3080 SUPER option would also need to be a mobile variant considering the limited cooling capabilities of the AIO. The Envy 34 featured will go on sale next month for 1999 USD ruling out the possibility of it shipping with the RTX 3080 SUPER. While it is entirely possible that this was a simple mistake from HP it could be an indication that the PC will be upgraded to the SUPER model in the near future.

NVIDIA Rumored to Refresh RTX 30-series with SUPER SKUs in January, RTX 40-series in Q4-2022

NVIDIA is rumored to be giving its GeForce RTX 30-series "Ampere" graphics card family a mid-term refresh by the 2022 International CES, in January; the company is also targeting Q4-2022, specifically October, to debut its next-generation RTX 40-series. The Q1 refresh will include "SUPER" branded SKUs taking over key price-points for NVIDIA, as it lands up with enough silicon that can be fully unlocked. This leak comes from Greymon55, a reliable source on NVIDIA leaks. It also aligns with the most recent pattern followed by NVIDIA to keep its GeForce product-stack updated. The company had recently released "Ti" updates to certain higher-end price-points, in response to competition from the Radeon RX 6000 "RDNA2" series.

NVIDIA's next-generation will be powered by the "Lovelace" graphics architecture that sees even more hardware acceleration for the RTX feature-set, more raytraced effects, and preparation for future APIs. It also marks NVIDIA's return to TSMC, with the architecture reportedly being designed for the 5 nm (N5) silicon fabrication node. The current-gen GeForce "Ampere" chips are being products on an 8 nm foundry node by Samsung.

Blizzard Benchmarks NVIDIA's Reflex Technology in Overwatch

Blizzard, a popular game developer, has today implemented NVIDIA's latest technology for latency reduction into its first-person shooter—Overwatch. Called NVIDIA Reflex, the technology aims to reduce system latency by combining the NVIDIA GPUs with G-SYNC monitors, and specially certified peripherals, all of which can be found on the company website. NVIDIA Reflex dynamically reduces system latency by combining both GPU and game optimizations, which game developers implement, and the gamer is left with a much more responsive system that can edge out a competitive advantage. Today, we get to see just how much the new technology helps in the latest Overwatch update that brings NVIDIA's Reflex with it.

Blizzard has tested three NVIDIA GPUs: GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 2060 SUPER, and GTX 1660 SUPER. All three GPUs cover three different segments, so they are a good sign of what you can expect from your system. Starting from the GeForce GTX 1660 Super, the system latency, which was measured in milliseconds, was cut by over 50%. The middle-end RTX 2060 SUPER GPU experienced a similar gain, while the RTX 3080 was seen with the smallest gain, however, it did achieve the lowest latency out of all GPUs tested. You can check out the results for yourself below.

NVIDIA to Re-introduce GeForce RTX 2060 and RTX 2060 SUPER GPUs

We are just a few weeks away from the launch of NVIDIA's latest GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards based on the new Ampere architecture, and there is already some news regarding the lineup position and its possible distortion. According to multiple sources over at Overclocking.com, NVIDIA is set to re-introduce its previous generation GeForce RTX 2060 and RTX 2060 SUPER graphics cards to the market. Once again. The source claims that NVIDIA is already pushing the stock over to its board partners and system integrators to use the last-generation product. So far, it is not clear why the company is doing this and we can only speculate on it.

The source also claims that the pricing structure of the old cards will be 300 EUR for RTX 2060 and 400 EUR for RTX 2060 SUPER in Europe. The latter pricing models directly competes with the supposed 399 EUR price tag of the upcoming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti model, which is based on the newer Ampere uArch instead of the last-gen Turing cards. The possibility for such a move is a possible scarce of GA106/GA104 silicon needed for the new cards, and the company could be aiming to try and satisfy the market with left-over stock from the previous generation cards.

ASUS Unveils GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER ZAKU II EDITION Graphics Card

ASUS has been super hyped-up about the popular Japanese military science fiction media franchise/media mix called GUNDAM, where the company has developed multiple products based on the series. Starting with the all-white GUNDAM GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards to the latest edition of ASUS TUF Gaming X3 GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER ZAKU II EDITION graphics card, ASUS seems to be loving the fiction universe of GUNDAM. The latest GTX 1660 SUPER graphics card is a factory overclocked design with a slight improvement to the boost speed. The GPU will boost up to 1830 MHz, representing a mere 2.5% improvement. The rest of the specifications match the reference GTX 1660 SUPER design with 1408 CUDA cores and 6 GB of GDDR6 14 Gbps memory.

However, the main appealing and marketing thing about this card is not its overclocking speeds, but rather its aesthetics. It features Char's MS-06S ZAKU II Mobile Suit color scheme, which is a red colorway. It comes in a 2.7 slot body with a triple-fan cooling system, and a special red backplate with some stylish character animation.
