Nvidia’s RTX Super might be a massive boost at no extra cost

We conscionable sewage different information of leaks surrounding nan rumored Nvidia RTX 40 Super lineup. This time, nan sources speak astir nan magnitude of representation these caller GPUs mightiness service up. Nvidia whitethorn beryllium making advancement toward rivaling immoderate of AMD’s best graphics cards, which typically person a batch much VRAM. But is this upgrade really going to beryllium arsenic important arsenic immoderate speculate? Not each reputable sources agree.

A 3rd root has conscionable weighed successful connected nan matter of nan rumored RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, and nan RTX 4070 Super. Benchlife cites its ain sources astatine Nvidia’s committee partners arsenic it claims that nan RTX 4080 Super mightiness travel pinch 20GB of memory, whereas nan RTX 4070 Super mightiness beryllium boosted to 16GB. Doing truthful would decidedly require spot changes for some cards. The RTX 4080 Super would now stock nan aforesaid AD102 GPU arsenic nan flagship RTX 4090, and nan RTX 4070 Super would beryllium bumped up to nan AD103 spot recovered successful nan RTX 4080.

These are sizable upgrades that we’re talking astir here. The RTX 4080 Super would person 25% other representation and a wider 320-bit bus. Switching to nan AD102 spot besides opens up nan anticipation of an summation successful CUDA cores. Overall, this GPU would span nan spread betwixt nan RTX 4080 and nan RTX 4090.

The RTX 4070 Super marks an absorbing change. If it does move from nan AD104 to nan AD103 chip, it mightiness extremity up pinch amended specs than nan RTX 4070 Ti, which runs connected AD104 and has 12GB of VRAM crossed a 192-bit bus. Where does that time off nan RTX 4070 Ti Super, if that’s going to beryllium a thing? Most apt besides only nan AD103 GPU, which makes this a beautiful crowded chip. We could extremity up pinch 3 graphics cards wherever nan capacity jump from 1 to nan adjacent isn’t that big, though nan spread betwixt nan RTX 4070 Super and nan RTX 4080 should still beryllium significant.

While Benchlife’s study is interesting, well-known leaker kopite7kimi disagrees pinch these rumors. According to kopite7kimi, nan refresh isn’t going to beryllium arsenic large a woody arsenic nan erstwhile leaks suggested. This speculation is leaning much toward a insignificant enhancement that unlocks nan afloat imaginable of nan GPU and boosts representation speed. In fact, kopite7kimi believes that nan RTX 4080 Super will max retired nan AD103 spot alternatively of being upgraded to AD102, and that alteration can’t perchance consequence successful immoderate awesome capacity increase. The RTX 4070 Super is said to beryllium a somewhat cut-down type of nan RTX 4070 Ti.

Seeing arsenic nan rumors person been accordant that nan caller RTX 4080 Super mightiness costs nan aforesaid arsenic nan existent RTX 4080 ($1,200), nan insignificant upgrade seems much accordant pinch what Nvidia usually does. We’ll person to hold and see.
