Nvidia’s highly anticipated RTX 4080 Super graphics card has recently been spotted, fueling speculation about its imminent release. The listing was discovered within a popular system monitoring tool, further increasing excitement within the tech community.
The GeForce RTX 4080 Super was found in HWiNFO, specifically in the “upcoming changes” section. The entry explicitly mentions the addition of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super. This follows an earlier sighting of the RTX 4080 Super in a PCI ID repository. The accumulation of such sightings strongly suggests that Nvidia is indeed planning to release Super variants of its graphics cards, a concept that has been circulating for some time now. There are also rumors of revamped RTX 4070 models being included in these Super refreshes.
It is worth noting that the motivation behind Nvidia’s decision to introduce Super versions of their graphics cards stems from the underwhelming performance and lackluster sales of the RTX 4080. In contrast, AMD’s RX 7900 models have seen success in the market. To remain competitive in the upper midrange to high-end market, Nvidia aims to revitalize the RTX 4080 and 4070.
As for the potential release date of the Nvidia RTX 4080 Super, initial reports suggest that Nvidia may adopt a pricing strategy that challenges AMD. The RTX 4080 Super could be priced at $999, effectively replacing the RTX 4080. Additionally, the RTX 4070 Super may be priced at $599, demonstrating Nvidia’s determination to compete fiercely in the market. However, it is important to note that the pricing and exact specifications have not been finalized by Nvidia. The uncertainty surrounding the specifications indicates that the refreshed Lovelace graphics cards may still be a while away. Nonetheless, there is mounting anticipation that these products could debut earlier than expected, with numerous references to the Super moniker.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the potential release of these graphics cards, hoping for a combination of early availability and competitive pricing that will position them favorably among the best graphics cards in the market. In terms of the successor of the RTX 4080, reports suggest that the RTX 4090 Ti will not be released. Instead, Nvidia will focus on mid-range GPUs such as the refreshed RTX 4060 and RTX 4070.
In other news, Nvidia is also reportedly working on ARM-based chips to rival Apple’s M-series. The company is quietly developing this technology specifically for Windows PCs.
