NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SUPER GPUs including the 4080 SUPER, 4070 Ti SUPER & 4070 SUPER are coming soon and we have the specifications for you.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SUPER GPUs Detailed: Specs & Performance For 4080 SUPER, 4070 Ti SUPER, 4070 SUPER
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SUPER GPU family will be unveiled in January during CES 2024. The company will be presenting the cards during the event and we have also learned that the launch date for the lineup is also planned for January (though it could move based on NVIDIA’s decision).
Now for the lineup, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SUPER GPU family will indeed include three cards that have leaked over the last couple of weeks. These include the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (unfortunately this naming scheme is confirmed), and the RTX 4070 SUPER. All three cards are based on the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics architecture and feature a range of upgrades that mostly come in the form of better core configurations.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Specifications & Performance
Starting at the top, we have the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER which is expected to use the AD103-400 GPU (PG139 SKU 355) with the full 10,240 cores, 320 TMUs, 112 ROPs, and 64 MB of L2 cache. The chip will use a 256-bit bus interface which would suggest a 16 GB GDDR6X memory, same as the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER will feature the same TGP as the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER at 320W.
In terms of performance, the graphics card is expected to be 3-5% faster than the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER which isn’t a huge gain but custom models will deliver close to 10% performance boosts. NVIDIA hasn’t decided on the pricing of the SUPER series lineup yet but this small performance boost should help the card be faster than the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and if it comes at anything around $1000-$1100 US, then that ends up being very competitive.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Specifications
Next up, we have the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER which will feature a choice of AD103-275 / AD102-175 GPU SKUs (PG141 SKU 323) with 8,448 cores across both variants & 48 MB of L2 cache. The graphics card will also feature 16 GB of GDDR6 memory which will be a 4 GB VRAM upgrade vs the RTX 4070 Ti Non-SUPER and support a 256-bit bus interface. The graphics card will retain a 285 Watt TGP which is the same as the Non-SUPER variant.
For performance, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16 GB GPU will offer an average 15% boost in performance over the Non-SUPER variant and should compete well against the Radeon RX 7900 XT at a possible lower price point.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Specifications
Lastly, there’s the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER which is said to come in AD104-350 or AD103-175 SKU (PG141 SKU 335) configurations with the same 7,168 cores across both variants. The GPU is expected to get 48 MB of L2 cache. It looks like this card would stick with the 12 GB GDDR6X memory across the same 192-bit bus interface. For the RTX 4070 SUPER, the card will have a 20W higher TBP than the existing 4070 at 220W.
As for the performance, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER should end up being around 14% faster than the RTX 4070 Non-SUPER. The graphics card will also get the new CEM 5.1 Gen5 power connector. The existing RTX 4070 graphics cards either come with an 8-pin connector or a 12-pin power connector (supplied with an adapter).
So in terms of performance, you are expecting something like the following from NVIDIA’s RTX 40 SUPER GPUs (Performance based on reference specs):
- RTX 4080 SUPER vs RTX 4080: +3-5% Faster On Average
- RTX 4070 Ti SUPER vs RTX 4070 Ti: +15% Faster On Average
- RTX 4070 SUPER vs RTX 4070: +14% Faster On Average
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 SUPER – What We Know So Far
We have also come to know that there were indeed plans for a GeForce RTX 4090 SUPER though those were dropped due to the recent sanctions which limit the release of GPUs hitting over 4800 TOPs in China and other regions. Currently, there are no plans to do a RTX 4090 SUPER or Ti GPU but that might change if restrictions soften up in the coming year (which seems unlikely at the moment).
Once again, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SUPER GPU family is going to be unveiled at CES 2024 & launch is “expected” in the same month. Prices have not been confirmed to any retailer or partner and don’t expect them to be finalized until the very last minute.
