Today at CES 2024, NVIDIA officially unveiled its long-rumored RTX 40 SUPER series of GPU’s with three being available by the end of this month. These latest releases will support up to 52 shader TFLOPS, 121 RT TFLOPS and 836 AI TOPS as part of the newest version of the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture. These three SUPER cards will also offer special AI Tensor Cores to help deliver higher capabilities for AI in gaming, creation and overall productivity. Generative AI performance is the primary driving force of the SUPER cards to help deliver that performance across the board. NVIDIA has also made the pricing on these much more competitive.
The RTX 4080 SUPER is the top version of this class that will drive 4K and ray-traced gaming at an estimated 1.4x faster than the previous generation RTX 3080 Ti. This is without DLSS Frame Generation as the card offers 836 AI TOPS, DLSS Frame Generation, and Stable Diffusion XL or Stable Video Diffusion for AI workloads. This means faster video and image generation for creators. NVIDIA states there is a performance edge over the original RTX 4080 with more cores and faster memory, but the key part is the price. The RTX 4080 SUPER will launch on January 31 for $999, which is less than what the RTX 4080 still retails for currently.
The sweet spot of the SUPER series might just be the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER as it is designed for high frame rates at 1440p, but will easily be able to do 4K gaming. This will have more cores compared to the RTX 4070 Ti and an increased frame buffer to 16GB. The memory bandwidth will max out at 672 GB/sec. This card will be 1.6x faster than the RTX 3070 Ti and will see more performance with DLSS 3 up to 2.5x. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER will launch on January 24 for $799.
The final card announced to get the SUPER treatment is the RTX 4070 SUPER, which will offer 20% more cores than the RTX 4070. This makes it faster than an RTX 3090 with a fraction of the power. Adding on DLSS 3 will further improve performance in gaming, and this will come at a much more competitive price of only $599. The RTX 4070 SUPER will launch on January 17. You can check out even more details about the SUPER cardshere. Fourteen new games will also be getting RTX treatment, which will total the amount of games to over 500. You can check out the new games list below of what will be receiving either RTX or DLSS in the future.
