When is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super release date? The expected launch of the GeForce RTX 4070 Super is all but confirmed, with anticipation for the graphics card growing with each new leak and rumor. Thankfully, we shouldn’t have to wait all too much longer to get the official word from Nvidia on when this GPU will break cover, as well as what specification and performance upgrades it should deliver.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Super isn’t the only pixel pusher rumored to be launching in the coming weeks, with two other graphics cards set to join it as part of the wider GeForce RTX 4000 Super series. However, you shouldn’t expect to see them all arrive on the scene simultaneously.
When is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super release date?
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super release date is estimated to be January 17, 2024. It will be the first GeForce RTX 40 Super graphics card to launch, with other models following in the coming weeks.
According to an alleged leaked embargo document, the GeForce RTX 4070 Super will be announced during the Nvidia CES 2024 press conference on January 8 at 8AM PT (4PM GMT).
Details on its sibling graphics cards’ launches, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super and GeForce RTX 4080 Super, are also anticipated to be shared during the CES livestream.
What is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super price?
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super price should fall within the range of $599-$649. This would make it a match for the existing GeForce RTX 4070, or slightly more expensive.
If pricing rumors from sources close to Moore’s Law Is Dead hold water, this gives further credence to the idea that the GeForce RTX 4070 may not be replaced by a Super variant (at least, not outright). Naturally, it would make no sense for both graphics cards to cost $599, and a price cut would help both cards compete with the Radeon RX 7800 XT in terms of value.
Looking at pricing trends for previous Super refreshes, namely the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, it launched at the same $499 MSRP as the outgoing GeForce RTX 2070. As such, this creates something of a precedent for the GeForce RTX 4070 Super to do the same.
What are the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super specs?
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super specs will likely include upgrades such as additional CUDA cores, faster clock speeds, among other improvements.
| Rumored GeForce RTX 4070 Super specs | |
| GPU | AD104 |
| CUDA Cores | 7,168 |
| Tensor Cores | 224 |
| RT Cores | 56 |
| Base Clock | TBC |
| Boost Clock | TBC |
| VRAM | 12GB GDDR6X |
| Memory Clock | TBC |
| Memory Bus Width | 192-bit |
| Memory Bandwidth | TBC |
| L2 Cache | TBC |
| TDP | 220W |
Compared to the existing GeForce RTX 4070, the rumored specs for the Super model carry a few notable upgrades. For example, the amount of CUDA cores has jumped by 22% to 7,168 (from 5,888). Meanwhile, both the number of Tensor and RT cores has increased by the same margin.
This technical makeup puts the GeForce RTX 4070 Super within spitting distance of the existing GeForce RTX 4070 Ti on paper. As such, we’ll likely see the existing Ti retired in favor of the new Super cards.
How does the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super perform?
There are currently no GeForce RTX 4070 Super benchmarks available, but performance estimates suggest it will only be 3-6% weaker than the existing GeForce RTX 4070 Ti.
Given how close the GeForce RTX 4070 Super could be to the RTX 4070 Ti, it should effectively nip at its heels in gaming benchmarks. Nvidia will likely release its own test data upon revealing the card. However, we’ll need to wait until we test the card ourselves before we can say for sure.
