Nvidia Takes Aim at AMD with Rumored RTX 4070 and 4080 Super GPUs

Performance and Pricing Speculations Could Challenge AMD's RX 7900 Lineup

Worst-Case Scenario:

  • RTX 4080 Super 16GB, 5% to 10% faster than RTX 4080, priced at $1,199 to $1,249.
  • RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB, about 10% slower than RTX 4080, priced between $849 and $999.
  • RTX 4070 Super 12GB, priced between $649 and $699.

In this scenario, there’s also speculation that the existing RTX 4080 might be discontinued to accommodate the new models.

Best-Case Scenario:

  • RTX 4080 Super 16GB, 10% to 15% faster than RTX 4080, priced between $999 and $1,119.
  • RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB, within 5% of RTX 4080 performance, priced at $799 to $899.
  • RTX 4070 Super 12GB, closely matched to the RTX 4070 Ti in terms of performance, priced at $599 to $649.

In this optimistic scenario, the discontinuation of both the RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti is contemplated, as these cards may struggle to find their place in the product lineup given the projected price-to-performance ratios.

While these speculations are exciting, it’s important to remember that these are just rumors, and the actual products may vary from the information presented by MLID. However, if these scenarios materialize, it could result in an intense battle between Nvidia and AMD in the high-performance GPU market.
