GPU silly season continues with a new round of claims from serial 'leak' outlet Moore's Law is Dead. This time it's the pricing and full specs for Nvidia's rumoured RTX 40 Super GPUs.
Namely, we're talking RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Super, and the word salad that is RTX 4070 Ti Super. All of what follows is merely a claimed leak, however the proposed line up does make sense. It also presents a good framework for considering the impact these Super GPUs will have on existing RTX 40 cards. And with that, here we go.
Up top, we have the RTX 4080 Super. As per another 'leak', it sticks with the existing AD103 die rather than receiving an upgrade to the AD102 monster used for the RTX 4090. Thus it tops out at 10,240 cores, runs a 256-bit bus, and packs 16GB of GDDR6X memory, whereas the regular RTX 4080 has 9,728 cores. And it's yours for $999, fully $200 less than the RTX 4080's launch price.
Next is the slightly silly sounding RTX 4070 Ti Super. That steps up from the AD104 chip used by the existing RTX 4070 Ti to the AD103 chip. With that comes not only 8,448 cores instead of the non-Super's 7,680 but also an upgrade from a 192-bit bus and 12GB to 256-bit and 16GB.
It's arguably more of a cut-down RTX 4080 as it is a Super 4070 Ti, but either way, the price is said to be $799, with a possible range of up to $849.
Finally, there's the RTX 4070 Super. That sticks with AD104, 1932-bit and 12GB, but ups the core count to 7,168 from the non-Super's 5,888 cores.
As for performance boosts, the 4080 Super is predicted to offer a measly you'll-never-feel-it 6-9% boost. But then it's also predicted to be a lot cheaper than the 4080 was at launch. The 4070 Ti Super is predicted to bring up to 22% more performance for about the same
