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

[btarunr]

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.

Ti Super. It's really happening

This naming scheme is a steaming pile of materials that can be congregated in piles and steam when do so... I am not sure if I'm misremembering, but I think the Ti badge meant the GPU powering the card had additional capabilities, rather than just being faster that it's non-Ti equivalent, back in the GeForce 3 days...

I still dont know what Ti even stands for

Turbo Infused

I thought they would have stopped production months back given how much stock already is on shelves unsold.

Thought it was short for 'titanium', but I could be wrong.

Wow! (said no one, ever about these new and soon to be overpriced products)

I wonder what Nvidia's plan is to help move the current over stock or if they think they'll move on their own at their current prices.

Thought it was short for 'titanium', but I could be wrong.

It is for Titanium.

Ada is a mess this is crazy.

Well and with Blackwell we get Ti Super Ultra and with the low tier version the SE comeback.

 

[Dristun]

Time to flog my 4080 before it starts to drop in price, I guess.

Ultra... Now there's a name I haven't heard in many many years.

 

[wNotyarD]

It is for Titanium.

And ironically, MSI made a 1070 Ti Titanium model.

Ti Super Ultra GT LE SE

FTFY

 

[Pumper]

Which is why that one guy at nvidia who says "tie" instead of "T I" is the only person in the industry pronouncing it correctly.

 

[Legacy-ZA]

nVidia are the masters of obfuscation. An absolutely vile/disgusting company.

Can you elaborate or trust me bro?

It's like ATM machine. Cant wait for the MSI 4070 Ti(tanium) super titanium.

That numbskull forgot about the periodic table, which is where the naming originated.
Some of these elements have letter pairs that are impossible to pronounce aloud, or sound weird/lewd.
Take lead(Pb), arsenic(As), or curium(Cm) for example.

 

[theouto]

The little sense this launch makes is insane, what the fuck

People will still buy these btw, no really, it sounds absurd, but they will

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

all the more reason to not buy their products. Why do they even want to do this when clearly their AI accelerator cards, B.Vs and collabs with startup companies are raking in money? I seriously doubt anyone is going to buy a 4070 Super Ti. Even if there is, the performance won't be even close to a 4090 or even a 4080Ti coz if it does, no one will be buying those high end cards.

Are you suggesting people shouldn't be buying them cause of the name? Who cares. If it's a good card, it's a good card, it can be called an fps spiting unicorn super ti for all I care.

Pb comes from the Latin word for Lead - Plumbum (also the root word for plumbing, plumbers etc)

Better yet, replace Ti with a new moniker, ATM. Makes more sense with the current pricing.

 

[remekra]

Probably wanted to release 4080 Super 16GB, and 4080 12GB Super, but since the backlash and name change they will have to go with 4070 Ti Super. Not sure which one is worse, but I think the first option.
We will see what price and perf they will have.
