NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series SUPER: Review Schedule and Availability Confirmed

[btarunr]

Last week, we got our first whiff of the availability dates of NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 40-series SUPER line of high-end graphics cards. A leaked NVIDIA launch schedule screengrab by VideoCardz confirms those dates, and sheds a bit more light on when you can expect previews, reviews, and what NVIDIA refers to these cards internally. The leaked document says that NVIDIA will indeed announce all three new SKUs, namely the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 4070 SUPER; on January 8. This will very likely be at an NVIDIA GeForce RTX event along the sidelines of the 2024 International CES. On this day, you can also expect unboxing previews for the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, which is the first of the three SKUs to go on sale.

NVIDIA is once again incentivizing its add-in card (AIC) partners to have cards available at MSRP on launch. On January 16, you can expect reviews of the MSRP priced RTX 4070 SUPER cards. A day later on January 17, publications are allowed to post reviews of RTX 4070 SUPER cards priced above the MSRP. January 17 will also be the day you can buy the RTX 4070 SUPER. A week later, on January 23, reviews of the MSRP-priced RTX 4070 Ti cards will post, followed by a January 24 product availability and above-MSRP card reviews. Winding things up are at-MSRP reviews of the RTX 4080 SUPER on January 30, followed by above-MSRP reviews and product availability on January 31. NVIDIA is internally referring to the RTX 4070 SUPER as "PG141-SKU 335," the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER as "PG141-SKU 323," and the RTX 4080 SUPER as the "PG139-SKU 355."

No FE cards?

Shame, they're the only cards I like, aesthetically speaking.

They look so classy in the case compared to all these over fussy AIB designs, aimed at teenagers in the Asian Market.

Given that PC gaming is mostly about creating RGB vomit than anything else what are you going to match a classy looking card with?

Fractal Design Meshify with Dark Tinted side window, All black BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro tower cooler, blue LED fans, blue Memory sticks and the FE cards 'Geforce RTX' logo in white looks very classy, IMO.

The Dark tinted window tones everything down very nicely which is important as the PC sits on my desk.

 

[R0H1T]

Weren't the prices(specs?) also supposedly leaked? So what's this Turing redux

 

[fancucker]

Product segmentation is actually good because it provides more consumer options

Personally I like the supermicro options that do not have windows. But I also like to rackmount all my stuff and I don't see that nonsense anyways.

Not when the prices are going only one way!

Barring the occasional (stock) clearance sales.

Node prices are increasing drastically, do you expect Nvidia to take on the cost of both pushing GPU technology forward (RTX) and incurring losses on each GPU?

Remind us why they're "skirting" the US bans on chip exports then, or has the AI fad already gone the way of the dodo

They're literally "printing money" with their AI chips so your BS argument about new nodes doesn't hold water, especially since they've been on this node for well over a year now!

There are price leaks, but they were blurred out. The are probably running bots, gauging what people think it will cost and go for the highest number.

Nvidia news daily updates will keep us informed eh.

I applaud Nvidia pr team

Nvidia cares even less about these refreshes than everything else.
I'm surprised they even had FEs with the 20xx Supers.

Don't forget a product stack that's snowballed into an avalanche of deceit.

Frankly I’m quite interested to see the performance numbers these gpu brings, not that I’m in need of an upgrade but you know new gpu is always neat cept the price which is gonna stink but it is what it is in 2023 almost 2024

 

[Macro Device]

Frankly I’m quite interested to see the performance numbers these gpu brings

4070 Super is gonna be about 15% faster than a regular 4070.
4070 Ti Super is gonna be about 10 to 20 % faster (with occasional 40+ % boost) than a regular 4070 Ti depending on game VRAM sensitivity.
4080 Super is gonna be about 10% faster than a regular 4080.

 

[bug]

I wish reviewers could just ignore any further launches and only publish something when a worthwhile card gets released at $200, $300, $400 or $500. I mean, I'm an enthusiast and everything, but fir a few years now I feel like a car enthusiast that only reads about Ferrari, Lamborghini and Rolls Royce launches.

4080 Super is gonna be about 10% faster than a regular 4080.

So basically going from Intel 12th gen to 14th

Ok, so just double or triple those percentages & apply them to the price increases, so we (& our bank accounts) can all start weeping as soon as they are released !

Surely you aren't naive enough to think that nGreediya is gonna give us these performance increases for only a few $$ more than the regular cards

 

[Macro Device]

It's nonsensical to expect anything different. And to produce it, too. These are not new architecture SKUs, these are an addition to Ada lineup. And a 4070 Ti Super outperforming 4080 would raise a lot of questions.

Want something better than that, wait till Blackwell pops out.

People do because "muh pc g4m1ng"

Why yes,… yes I do.

(ps they are a long ways from taking losses).

not just that, they are going to stagger the release so Nvidia will be in the mouth of tech journalists for weeks....

Well they don't have to use the bleeding edge node. Usually no better than the highly refined previous gen node and far more expensive. Eg N3 is a very weak upgrade and N4P would see much lower wafer prices and barely any worse on density and power.

Please stop the cope. Nvidia owns the factory my guy, outside of cost increase due to decreasing node size- the price is whatever Nvidia wants it to be. Let’s also not cope and pretend that Nvidia, a for profit company- makes any technology for any reason outside of making money.

Real talk time: Nvidia has no reason to lower prices. People are buying their product at the price they put it at and that’s all that matters to the stockholders who decide such things.

 

[Bwaze]

A month long protracted release of three gaming card models that will be within reach of overclocked base models, complete with strict detailed NDAs when can anyone publish an unboxing, a card photo, and later after the release a benchmark?

"I can hardly contrail myself!"

Those kind of releases look like an experiment on how tight control can they have on reviewers and YouTube influencers, punishing them for any misstep in the long fine print they receive with their free card...
