Just over a week ago, I mentioned how Nvidia was launching three GPUs in the newRTX 4000 SUPERrange. Now, the first one of the bunch has been released, offering a bit of a performance boost compared to its predecessor.
The 4070 SUPER came out yesterday, and it already appears to be fairly popular. While sites likeNeweggdo have models from ZOTAC, GIGABYTE, ASUS, and more, there are quite a few that have sold out.Amazon UKappears to have limited stocks at the time of writing. A report fromVideocardzpoints to a few brands that are already out of stock, so it seems like you might want to get in quick lest supplies run out.
Prices for the SUPER graphics card can be as low as $549 and as high as $759 (if not more), depending on where you get it from and which model you opt for.
Compare and contrast
Showing up to 14% improvement over the non-SUPER variant, the RTX 4070 SUPER is what you would expect from a somewhat souped-up version of a modern graphics card.
While it still retains 12GB of GDDR6X of memory – similar to the regular 4070 – it does boast more CUDA cores and a slight increase in its clock speed. It also has a higher TGP, now requiring an additional 20W of power.
It also appears as though the RTX 4070 has been given a price drop, so if you’re not in the mood for a new-newgraphics card from Nvidia, you could always go for the standard variant. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and RTX 4080 SUPER are due to release on January 24 and January 31, respectively.
