NVIDIA Founders Edition cards for some of the latest GPUs have been sent out to reviewers. The RTX 4070 SUPER and 4080 SUPER are among these models set to receive this reference edition.

In terms of pricing, the RTX 4080 SUPER is slated to be priced at $999, which is $200 less than the launch price of the non-SUPER version, RTX 4080. NVIDIA appears to be confirming earlier speculations that the RTX 4080S and 4070TiS will replace the current models in their product lineup. The updated chart no longer includes references to these specific SKUs.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is set to take the place of the RTX 4070 Ti non-SUPER at a price point of $799. Simultaneously, the RTX 4070 SUPER is expected to be priced at $599 in retail, while the existing non-SUPER model is officially confirmed to have a revised MSRP of $599.

As we saw before, NVIDIA is focusing on the performance of their shaders, ray tracing, and tensor cores instead of their CUDA core specs. Nevertheless, NVIDIA RTX 4080 SUPER is to feature 10240 CUDA cores, 16GB GDDR6X memory (23 Gbps) and TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 320W. But NVIDIA claims that this model will actually require only around 246W when playing and 15W when idle. NVIDIA marketing claims that this card offers “4K Full RT Gaming and Super-Fast Gen AI” but also 2x the performance of RTX 3080Ti (more on that in the paragraph below). The RTX 4080 SUPER will launch on January 31.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is to feature 8448 CUDA cores and 16GB GDDR6X memory. While it ships with a TGP of 285W, the average gaming power is estimated at 226W and 12W when the card is idle. The memory upgrade is undoubtedly the most noteworthy feature of this SKU. NVIDIA claims that RTX 4070 Ti SUPER will offer “2.5x the performance of RTX 3070 Ti”, but one should not be deceived, as this data is referring to DLSS Frame Generation support in some titles. Officially, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER launches on January 24th.

Pricing is a bit better on the 4080S but the 4070 Ti Super should be 699 and the 4070 super should be 499
At least they're giving the 4070tiS 16gb vram. 4070S having 12gb at $600 is still a joke though, gonna be waiting til blackwell to see if i should upgrade

As you can see, apart from the 4090, the entire 40 series has been horribly priced.

Even the 4090 is bad, it's a cut down die. But it gets away with halo product pricing. The problem isn't just that the product lineup is badly priced: they're also badly-named. Every product is shoved 1-2 tiers up the naming scheme

0ArcwBW.png funny thing is this chart came out before the 4070 and 4060 came out and they were even worse (significantly) than on the chart

Just absolutely shameless and shameful behavior

The 4070 is actually a 4060. The chart overestimates by about 6-8% the amount of cuda cores- on the chart it shows as 38-40% of the full AD102 but the actual core count of the released product is at 32%. 6-8% of the full die sounds small but it means the chart is overestimating by around 25% of the actual product.

Seems like the model that HUB tested was bugged and has lower performance than others. Still not great.
