Nvidia seems to be cooking up something special for gamers, as rumors suggest the company might be planning to introduce a swifter iteration of its RTX 4080 graphics card, and what’s even more alluring is the potential price tag.
The source of this speculation is MEGAsizeGPU, a prominent figure in the hardware leaks and rumors community on X (formerly Twitter). As with any rumor, it’s wise to treat this information with the usual dose of caution.
Reportedly, the upcoming graphics card will go by the name RTX 4080 Super, or perhaps RTX 4080 Ti, but regardless of nomenclature, it’s set to be a significant upgrade over the existing RTX 4080.
What’s especially intriguing is that this product isn’t too far on the horizon, with Nvidia allegedly preparing for an early 2024 launch. The RTX 4080 Ti or Super is expected to employ the same chip as the RTX 4090, which is known as AD102 (while the RTX 4080 uses AD103). Naturally, the new card will be configured in a way that sets it apart from the RTX 4090.
Anticipate a power draw of less than 450W, and the most exciting tidbit from the rumor mill is that the price is rumored to fall within the same range as the RTX 4080.
As a final note, buried within the thread of the leaker’s tweet, MEGAsizeGPU hints that the exact VRAM configuration for this card hasn’t been decided yet, leaving some room for speculation and anticipation among gaming enthusiasts.
