NVIDIA to split RTX 40 launch into three dates, RTX 4070 SUPER coming first, RTX 4080 is last
ITHome have combined rumors from multiple sources which paint the picture when one should expect NVIDIA to unveil and launch the new RTX 40 SUPER series.
Rumors suggest that NVIDIA is set to unveil and reveal initial details about the upcoming GeForce RTX 40 SUPER graphics cards in a ‘Special Address’ during CES 2024 on January 8th. This speculation has circulated ever since the company confirmed its intentions to host this event. The latest information indicates that the company may introduce first SUPER cards just nine days after the announcement, with at least one SKU scheduled for release.
According to reports, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is anticipated to make its debut on January 17th, followed by the release of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER a week later. The final addition to the RTX 40 SUPER lineup, the RTX 4080 SUPER, is rumored to hit shelves on January 31st. It appears that NVIDIA plans to stagger the release of each model, spacing them out on a weekly basis.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SUPER dates
- RTX 40 announcement: January 8, 2024
- RTX 4070 SUPER launch: January 17, 2024
- RTX 4070 Ti SUPER launch: January 24, 2024
- RTX 4080 SUPER launch: January 31, 2024
While specific details such as clock speeds remain undisclosed, it is widely believed that the RTX 4070 SUPER will incorporate the AD104 GPU, featuring 7168 CUDA cores. The memory configuration is expected to mirror the original model, maintaining a 12GB capacity. Notably, this card is rumored to demand a higher power consumption compared to the RTX 4070, with an alleged default TDP of 225W.
The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER will shift to AD103 GPU and introduce 16GB memory capacity. It will retain 285W TDP of the RTX 4070 Ti model, but on paper this might be one of the most interesting cards from the upcoming SUPER series.
The fastest model, called RTX 4080 SUPER will utilize full AD103 GPU with 10240 CUDA cores, and it will retain 16GB memory spec and 320W TDP of the still available RTX 4080 model. While RTX 4080 SUPER and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER are said to be replacing existing SKUs, the RTX 4070 SUPER would coexist on the market with RTX 4070, claimed earlier reports.
There have been speculations indicating that all RTX 40 SUPER models will adopt 12VHPWR connectors, with no intention to utilize standard 8-pin connectors for these cards. The uncertainty lies in whether NVIDIA will produce its own Founder Edition, as this detail is yet to be officially confirmed.
