NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Starts Selling at $999
NVIDIA today launched the third and final high-end GPU in its GeForce RTX 40-series SUPER refresh. The new GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is being launched at an attractive $999 price, compared to the $1,199 that the RTX 4080 originally launched at. Besides this huge 20% cut in pricing, there's also more performance on offer, as the company chose to max out the 5 nm AD103 silicon that it's based on. If you recall, the RTX 4080 has 76 out of 80 streaming multiprocessors of the AD103 enabled, and its memory runs at an odd 22.4 Gbps speed. The RTX 4080 SUPER gets all 80 SM, and a well rounded 23 Gbps memory speed.
With 80 SM on tap, you get 10,240 CUDA cores, 320 Tensor cores, 80 RT cores, 320 TMUs, and 112 ROPs. The memory size is unchanged at 16 GB, across the 256-bit wide memory interface of the AD103; as is the total graphics power (TGP), at 320 W. All cards will include an NVIDIA-designed adapter that converts three 8-pin PCIe power connectors into a 12VHPWR that's capable of delivering 450 W of power. The target audience for this card is the same as that of the RTX 4080—maxed out 4K Ultra HD gaming with ray tracing. At $999, the RTX 4080 SUPER allows NVIDIA to better compete with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX that's sometimes spotted for prices as low as $900.

You'd almost buy one. :kookoo: After all, what is a mere 1k for a not even enthusiast graphics card, halfway down a generational cycle.
Good to see there is some semblance of sanity among consumers.
Make it $699, then maybe, otherwise...a major m.E.h... :)
Though lets see what happens since intel ARC is coming out with battlemage this year (supposedly)... uncertain how that will do but if it even competes with the 4070 SUPER its going to be a good option with how intel has not given up on ARC and if it competes with the 4080 SUPER... that will be a unwelcome surprise to NVIDIA since intel GPU pricing has been decent and while intel GPU software leaves a lot to desire... but they have been moving at light-speed with updates almost being monthly.
Not to mention AMD is going to come out with the 8000 series of GPUs this year and with how good the 7000 series was despite its troubles if the top line 8000 series beats the SUPER at a cheaper price NVIDIA will be in trouble since AMD has focused on rasterization which is actually useful for gaming compared to ray tracing.
Yeah I'm more than sure my old 980ti can play all the games I own plus freebies from epic hehe
