The GeForce RTX 40 Super has created a lot of buzz not only for its possible specs, but also for the fact that could replace some current models. A few days ago it was rumored that the GeForce RTX 4070 would be one of the most affected and that it would be replaced by the GeForce RTX 4070 Super, but today we found out that It won’t be like that.

This ensures a resource with contacts within the distribution chain and in the main fitters both graphics cards will coexist, which means NVIDIA will have to adjust prices to make room for these two graphics cards in the market. This is undoubtedly something very interesting, as it could mean a drop in the price of the GeForce RTX 4070.

This graphics card is now available for purchase for less than 600 eurosand at this price it offers excellent value for money, being almost on par with the GeForce RTX 3080, but with the advantage of having 12 GB of graphics memory and being much more efficient (using 120 watts less) and supporting Frame Generation, a technology that makes a big difference in terms of fluidity in compatible games.

If the two coexisted, the price of this one would have to drop significantly to make room for the Super model, and that could take it down to the 500 euro mark. As for the GeForce RTX 4070 Super, it will most likely end up being positioned between 650 and 700 euros, approximately. To give you a clearer idea of ​​what both cards would offer, below is a summary with their specifications.

GeForce RTX 4070

• Graphics core AD104 in 5nm.
• 5,888 shaders at 1,920 MHz-2,475 MHz.
• 184 texturing units.
• 64 raster units.
• 184 tensor kernels of the fourth generation.
• 46 cores of the third generation RT.
• 192-bit memory bus.
• 12GB GDDR6X.
• 200W TGP.

GeForce RTX 4070 Super

• Graphics core AD104 in 5nm.
• 7,168 shaders at an unspecified frequency.
• 224 texturing units.
• 96 raster units.
• 224 tensor kernels of the fourth generation.
• 56 cores of the third generation RT.
• 192-bit memory bus.
• 12GB GDDR6X.
• TGP 225W.

GeForce RTX 40 Super will be introduced at CES 2024 (January 2024)and its release is expected just a few weeks later. We don’t know if NVIDIA will make a joint presentation of all the new models, but it is very likely.

In terms of performance, the GeForce RTX 4070 Super should be average 22% more powerful than the standard version, as long as the specifications I listed are met. This means that overall it would be almost the same as the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, the model that will be discontinued and will be succeeded by the Ti Super version.
