Ahead of CES 2024 in Las Vegas, NVIDIA has confirmed the relaunch of its GeForce RTX 40 series with three "SUPER" graphics cards.
For months, various sources have been spreading rumors about three new graphics cards from NVIDIA, so we thought they could hardly be wrong. Unsurprisingly, NVIDIA took advantage of the opening of CES in Las Vegas to announce three new cards designed to revitalize the American company's catalog, while some observers are already talking about a new generation - perhaps - for the end of 2024.

While we wait for the hypothetical GeForce RTX 50 series, "SUPER" versions of well-known cards will be arriving in the coming weeks. Things kick off on January 17 with the release of the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. This card will sit between the GeForce RTX 4070 and another SUPER, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. It should be noted that the RTX 4070 SUPER will be invoiced at the same price as the RTX 4070 on release, i.e. 599 dollars or 609 euros. The RTX 4070 will continue to be distributed by NVIDIA, which will lower the price a little, to $549 or - this has yet to be confirmed - something like 560 euros.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER will arrive a week later, on January 24, and will completely replace the RTX 4070 Ti, which will disappear from the NVIDIA catalog, for a launch price of $799 or 889 euros. Finally, the third card marks the least change from the original versions: the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is very similar to the RTX 4080, which it will completely replace. It does, however, have two trump cards: a minor one, a few extra CUDA cores, and a major one, a price cut from $200 to $999 or €1109 when it is released on January 31.

It's hard to talk of a revolution for cards that merely adjust the technical specifications of previous GeForce models. On the other hand, NVIDIA's repositioning of prices, especially for the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, should attract quite a few gamers... well, the more affluent ones anyway! On a more general note, those who have so far ignored the RTX 40 series may well be tempted.
