Nvidia In Surprise Low Pricing For RTX 40 Super Graphics Cards

It is anticipated that Nvidia will unveil its latest GeForce RTX Super series of graphics cards in the coming week, in line with the CES tech show taking place in Las Vegas. While these cards promise to deliver increased speed, it is their potential affordability that is stirring excitement. Speculated to launch this month are the RTX 4070 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, and RTX 4080 Super. For now, the RTX 4070 Super will be marketed alongside the RTX 4070, though the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Ti could possibly be replaced by their Super versions. Nvidia's pricing strategy for its RTX Super variety is rumored to be extremely competitive. The internet has been rife with speculations on pricing; however, consistent information from multiple sources on the YouTube channel Moore's Law is Dead hint at the final figures. The suggested retail price for the RTX 4070 Super is $599, only $50 more than the original, with a performance expected to rival the pricier RTX 4070 Ti, a desirable prospect for roughly $600. The same sources also affirm that the traditional RTX 4070 will continue to be sold alongside the newer Super model, simultaneously reducing its price. The RTX 4070 Ti Super is presumed to retail for $799, somewhat pricier than its existing counterparts. However, its bolstered performance, closer to the powerful RTX 4080, and notable upgrades like a memory boost from 12GB to 16GB, additional stream processors, and a potential wider memory bus could make it a compelling choice at the $800 mark, particularly for gamers seeking high-resolution play. The RTX 4080 Super's tentative price stands at $999, although one source implies it could reach up to $1200. This would be reasonable as it is designed to narrow the performance gap with the RTX 4090, an ultra-high-end card priced at $2000. With the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT presently priced at approximately $950 and $800, AMD's current pricing strategy could be challenged by the upcoming RTX 4080 Super and RTX 4070 Ti. As the tech world eagerly awaits major announcements from Intel and AMD in Las Vegas over the next week, PC and laptop gamers and enthusiasts should stay tuned for more updates.
