There was a time when NVIDIA would make “Super” versions of its GPUs and a new rumor suggests the company might be doing so for its 40-series cards. The “super” refresh would beef up the existing GPU models with enhanced performance and efficiency specs not too unlike what you get with the current Ti models.
NVIDIA hasn’t confirmed these details yet but if the rumor is accurate, then Super versions are currently being worked on. That being said, NVIDIA is reportedly only looking into these for three cards. Specifically the RTX 4080 and the RTX 4070, as well as the RTX 4070 Ti.
What’s interesting is that this would be NVIDIA’s first time making a Super version of a Ti card. It’ll also be interesting to see how an RTX 4070 Ti Super would stack up to the regular Ti model. If the cards are real, it would be expected to see the Super cards come with more Cuda cores. As well as more RAM. For now though there’s no detail mentioned about these specs. The rumor comes from a leaker on X known as Hongxing2020 (via VideoCardz). Which is said to have a fairly reliable track record for leaks.
NVIDIA 40-series Super GPU release dates are TBD
These kinds of releases are mid-series refreshes for NVIDIA. So it seems unlikely these are bound for a launch that’s just around the corner. But the 40-series cards are coming up on the middle of their release. So it might not be too far off before they hit the market. Provided they actually exist.
Hongxing2020 says the release dates are to be determined for now. Which means there’s no reliable information on NVIDIA’s plans for release timing. Nor is there any other information regarding the cards beyond them being in development. This includes cost, regional availability, and what partners might be making Super versions of these cards.
All of that said, you might want to hold off on upgrading. Because if NVIDIA is making these GPUs, these should be the better option for games. Depending on cost.
