Three graphics cards stamped "SUPER" could be added to NVIDIA's catalog over the next year.

NVIDIA obviously has no plans to release a new generation of graphics cards before 2025, at least that's what the latest rumours from the manufacturer suggest. On the other hand, the American company is said to have the idea of offering new graphics cards in 2024. The aim of these graphics cards could well be to "fill in" the gaps in its catalog by deploying intermediate models between the GeForce RTX 4090, RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Ti.

Such cards would then carry the "SUPER" name, which NVIDIA stopped using a few years ago with the GeForce RTX 2000 series. The SUPER cards were designed to give GeForce RTX 2000s a bit of a boost, as they were struggling to cope with the competition from AMD's Radeon cards. It's much the same story today, and while NVIDIA can count on some of its own technologies - DLSS3.5, path tracing, Reflex - to get the upper hand, when it comes to rasterization, the Radeon RX 7800 XT, RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX can give their direct competitors a run for their money.

Reported by Kopite7kimi on X (formerly Twitter), the cards in question are said to be three in number. The first is the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, featuring an AD103-400 GPU with 10,240 CUDA cores. The second is an RTX 4070 Ti SUPER - the first "Ti" to be given the SUPER label - with a GPU featuring 8,448 CUDA cores. Finally, the third card, the RTX 4070 SUPER, would have only 7,168 CUDA cores, but still significantly more than the RTX 4070 (5,888 CUDA cores). Rumors also point to an announcement by NVIDIA at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, to be held in Nevada from January 9 to 12 next year. Stay tuned.
