Three new cards, with the cheapest starting at $599.

For weeks, if not months, rumors swirled around the new "Super" line of Nvidia RTX 40-series cards. These cards had everything from their names leaked, to specifications, to even their price in the days leading up to today's CES 2024 announcements.

These new cards include: RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, and the RTX 4070 Super. These are the first "Super" cards from Nvidia since 2019's 20-series of GPUs. All three of these new cards are based on Nvidia's Ada Lovelace architecture, meaning they will all support DLSS 3 and 3.5, in addition to the latest DLSS technology from Nvidia.

All three of these new Super GPUs will launch throughout January 2024. The RTX 4070 Super will be out on January 17th at a price starting at $599. The RTX 4070 Ti Super is out on the 24th with a starting price of $799. Finally, the RTX 4080 Super is out on the 31st at prices starting at $999. Of these three, only the RTX 4070 Ti Super will not have a Founder's Edition. This means you are at the mercy of Nvidia partners like Gigabyte, MSI, Asus, and others.

Nvidia says that the RTX 4080 Super offers double the performance of the RTX 3080 Ti GPU. If you are someone that games at 4K and thought that the 4080 alone wasn't cutting it but the RTX 4090 was too stupidly expensive (which it is given that it starts at $1,599), then the RTX 4080 Super is probably the card for you. Meanwhile, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is being geared towards 1440p gaming with cranked up graphical settings and performance that is 2.5x that of the RTX 3070 Ti. The RTX 4070 Super is still suggested as a 1440p card but as more of a "mid-range" option.

In light of these new card announcements, Nvidia will be discontinuing some of their other 40-series cards. The company plans to phase out the RTX 4080, RTX 4070 Ti, and the RTX 4070 as these new Super variants are priced the same (or better) than the models they are replacing and offer better performance.

Also of note from Nvidia is the fact that DLSS support will be included in the upcoming PC release of Horizon Forbidden West, Dragon's Dogma 2, Half-Life 2 RTX, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Tekken 8, and others. Diablo 4 will get a ray tracing update in March. The RTX Remix tool will be released as a beta later in January. Finally, two upcoming Activision Blizzard titles will be added to GeForce Now in the near future.
