What simply occurred? It seems as if the rumors that Nvidia is about to launch a collection of RTX 4000 Super graphics cards are true. We beforehand heard that the brand new Lovelace variants can be unveiled at CES. Now, Team Green has confirmed will probably be internet hosting a Special Address on January 8, 8am PT / 11am ET, the place the Super announcement is anticipated to happen.
Following the unique claims that Nvidia is working on three variants of Super cards – the RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Super, and RTX 4070 Ti Super – leaker Kopite7kimi stated he believed an official launch would happen throughout CES.
Nvidia had already confirmed it might be at CES and has three convention rooms booked, however up till at this time, it had not introduced any occasions or keynotes.
We now know {that a} Special Address is happening on January 8, at some point earlier than CES begins in earnest.
There isn’t any point out of the Super collection in Nvidia’s announcement, however that does not imply they will not be there. At its particular deal with earlier than CES 2023, Nvidia’s head of PC enterprise, Jeff Fischer, introduced the RTX 4070 Ti (or tie) regardless of there being no affirmation of its arrival beforehand.
Early rumors claimed that the RTX 4080 Super would use the AD102 GPU and include 20GB of reminiscence. But it’s extra more likely to function the less-powerful AD103-400 GPU with the complete 10,240 cores and 16GB of GDDR6X VRAM alongside a 256-bit bus interface. There have additionally been claims that Nvidia will discontinue the RTX 4080 in favor of the Super mannequin.
The RTX 4070 Super, in the meantime, is anticipated to function AD104-350 or AD103-175 SKU configurations with the identical 7,168 cores in each variations. The 12 GB GDDR6X within the vanilla card is about to stay unchanged, albeit with sooner reminiscence speeds.
Finally, there’s the RTX 4070 Ti Super. The least doubtless sounding of the three cards not too long ago had what’s claimed to be its packaging design leaked. Reports state it can sit between the vanilla model of the cardboard and the RTX 4080, providing 8,448 CUDA cores, 48 MB of L2 cache, and use the AD103-275 or AD102-175 GPU. We may also see the VRAM elevated to 16 GB from 12 GB, however that may be a shock at this level.
Another RTX 4000 Super rumor claims that every one the brand new cards could have the identical or related TDP as their non-Super variations.
There isn’t any phrase on pricing but, but when the claims that some present cards are being discontinued show to be true, then the costs for the Super variants is likely to be the identical as, or at least near, these of the usual variations. (*8*), we’ll discover out extra on January 8.
