NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER GPU has had a strong launch week with high sales, outselling other RTX 40 family cards and becoming the best seller at certain retailers. The RX 7600 XT from AMD, despite doubling VRAM and a $329 US price point, has not sold well, with retailers focusing on older RDNA 2 SKUs instead. It remains to be seen if these sales trends will continue in the coming weeks.
The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti SUPER outpaced the AMD RX 7600 XT in sales on launch day at a German retailer, with the former selling around 280 units compared to the latter's 30 units. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER faced initial issues but still garnered significant attention, while the RX 7600 XT struggled with limited availability and higher prices. Gamers are expressing dissatisfaction with the current entry-level GPU segment, often opting for previous generation products or second-hand offers based on price to performance value.
Nvidia's launch of the RTX 4070 Ti Super aims to correct the original 4070 Ti's performance gap, offering a 10% increase in CUDA cores, a memory upgrade to 16GB, and a wider memory bus. However, the $799 price tag and strong competition from AMD make it a less-compelling option in the RTX 40-series lineup, as it still falls short of the original 4080's performance. The 4070 Ti Super's improvements don't significantly impact power consumption, and while it's a step in the right direction, it still leaves potential buyers questioning its target market.
MSI has apologized for the poor performance of its RTX 4070 Ti SUPER series due to BIOS issues, acknowledging that the cards showed virtually no performance gains over the 4070 Ti. Reviewers faced a dilemma when testing the cards, as they underperformed and required multiple BIOS updates just before the review embargo. NVIDIA was involved in the sampling process and confirmed the performance issues, with MSI distributing new BIOS updates for the affected models. Gamers who purchased these cards will need to perform a BIOS update to experience the intended performance upgrade, while other brands remain unaffected by these issues.
Nvidia has released its latest super GPUs, including the RTX 4070 Super and 4070 Ti Super, with the RTX 4080 Super set to launch on Jan. 31. The new GPUs offer increased CUDA cores and clock speeds, maintaining the same VRAM and power requirements as their predecessors. The article provides a list of prices and retailers for each available model of the RTX 4070 Super and 4070 Ti Super, with an update promised for the 4080 Super upon its release. It also advises users to ensure their power supply and case can accommodate the new cards before making a purchase.
Nvidia has released the RTX 4070 Ti Super, an upgraded version of the original RTX 4070 Ti, featuring the 5-nanometer AD103 GPU, 16GB of video memory, and a wider memory bus for the same retail price of $800. The new card promises improved performance for 4K gaming and media processing, while maintaining the same power requirements as its predecessor. The original RTX 4070 Ti will be phased out, with the Super version offering a better deal and addressing pricing issues and performance gaps in the R4000-series lineup.
Nvidia has launched the RTX 4070 Ti Super, part of its Super refresh line of updated RTX 40-series graphics cards, offering more memory bandwidth, CUDA cores, and 16GB of framebuffer memory for the same price as its non-Super counterpart. The card, based on the AD103 silicon, boasts 8488 CUDA cores, a 100MHz boost clock advantage over the RTX 4080, and a 256-bit memory bus, resulting in improved performance and efficiency, especially in ray tracing applications. The RTX 4070 Ti Super is priced at $799 and offers a competitive option for 4K and 1440p gaming.
The Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super fails to deliver the promised 10 percent performance improvement over the original RTX 4070 Ti due to VBIOS issues, with only a marginal 3 percent improvement at 1440p and 5 percent at 4K. The card features 16GB of VRAM and maintains the same $799 price point, but its performance is disappointing compared to expectations. The VBIOS update from Nvidia and MSI has not made a significant difference, and the lack of a Founders Edition card is also disappointing. The RTX 4070 Ti Super's pricing and performance put it in an awkward spot, especially with the impending release of the RTX 4080 Super.
Some retailers have shipped NVIDIA's RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and RTX 4080 SUPER cards ahead of their official launch, with a Reddit user claiming to have acquired the former two days early but facing driver compatibility issues. The upcoming GeForce 551.15 driver is expected to provide support for the new GPUs upon their official release. Early benchmarks suggest significant performance improvements over their predecessors, with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scoring 21% faster than the RTX 4070 SUPER in Cinebench tests. Reviewers are set to share their initial test results tomorrow, but it remains uncertain if the specific PNY design mentioned will be included in the coverage.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has shown an 8% average performance increase in 3DMark tests compared to the RTX 4070 Ti, with the new model featuring a 16GB memory capacity and a 4GB upgrade from the non-SUPER version. While the synthetic benchmarks may not fully represent the card's capabilities, the increased memory capacity is expected to benefit high-resolution gaming with Ultra settings. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is set for launch on January 24, with initial reviews expected a day earlier, and it is anticipated to offer gamers a bit more power at the same price as the non-SUPER version.
ZOTAC has prematurely listed the new RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and RTX 4080 SUPER graphics cards for sale on Amazon, ahead of their official launch dates, with prices starting at $899. However, the prices are higher than the expected retail prices, with the RTX 4080 SUPER cards listed at $1,299 to $1,399, surpassing NVIDIA’s suggested retail price of $999. It is anticipated that these prices will decrease next week when the offers are supposed to be active. The RTX 4070 Ti is currently available starting at $899, representing a $100 premium over NVIDIA’s MSRP. This premature listing may have resulted in incorrectly priced cards, and it is expected that the prices will be adjusted accordingly.
Preliminary benchmarks comparing the upcoming Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super with its counterparts, including the RTX 4080 and AMD's Radeon RX 7900 series, suggest competitive performance dynamics. In OpenCL benchmarks, the RTX 4070 Ti Super trails the RTX 4080 by 5% but surpasses it by 7% in Vulkan benchmarks. Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 4070 Ti Super shows potential performance increases of 10-15% over the RTX 4070 Ti and a 5-10% lag behind the RTX 4080. Nvidia's strategy with the RTX 4070 Ti Super seems aimed at competing with AMD's RX 7900 series, prompting AMD to introduce promotional pricing for some of its Radeon RX 7900 series models. While real-world performance benchmarks are pending, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is expected to narrow the gap with the RX 7900 XT and may reach parity due to its enhanced capabilities.
