As rumored, NVIDIA has arrived at CES 2024 with a new alignment of graphics cards. Jensen Huang’s company has come out with three new models that promise great performance but at lower prices. We talk, more specifically, about the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, 4070 SUPER and 4070 Ti SUPER.
The first thing to highlight is that NVIDIA has once again opted for SUPER models after more than 4 years. The last ones that the company had launched under that name had been the RTX 20 series, from 2019.
On this occasion, NVIDIA has come up with very attractive proposals both in terms of performance and commercial availability. It is evident that the American firm is still trying to be rectified after the fiasco of the 12 GB 4080converted into the 4070 Ti.
The RTX 4070 SUPER It is presented as the most economical model of the new line of NVIDIA graphics. According to the manufacturer, this version is more powerful and consumes less energy than an RTX 3090, which is not a minor fact. This is because it includes 20% more CUDA cores than the original 4070. In addition, the green giant maintains that with DLSS activated the performance of the new GPU is 1.5 times higher than that of the aforementioned model.
In the case of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, NVIDIA has played with a really interesting proposal. First, because it comes with more CUDA cores than the 4070 Ti. Second, because it makes the jump from 12 to 16 GB of memory. According to the brand, it is up to 2.5 times more powerful than the 3070 Ti with DLSS 3 activated, and up to 1.6 times faster without using upscaling technology. Probably the most attractive option in the price-performance ratio for those who want to upgrade their GPU that is a couple of generations old, without aiming for the top-of-the-line models.
NVIDIA bets heavily on the new RTX 40 SUPER
The most powerful version of the new line of NVIDIA graphics is the RTX 4080 SUPER. What Jensen Huang offers here is a striking bet, since it comes with 16 GB like the original 4080, but with a sales price below $1,000. Of course, the company has avoided making performance comparisons against that model.
On the other hand, NVIDIA has mentioned that the new RTX 4080 SUPER considerably improves what the 3080 Ti offers, being able to play in 4K without major inconveniences. According to the comparison, the 4080 SUPER is twice as powerful as the 3080 Ti, with DLSS activated. While those who prefer not to use scaling technology will enjoy a 1.4x performance increase.
We will have to wait for the new NVIDIA GPUs to hit the market to know if they deliver what they promise. Fortunately, this will happen in a matter of days. Below we review the price and availability of the new NVIDIA RTX 40 SUPER:
- NVIDIA RTX 4070 SUPER: available from January 17 in exchange for $599.
- NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti SUPER: available from January 24, priced at $799.
- NVIDIA RTX 4080 SUPER: available from January 31st with a price of 999 dollars.
