At CES 2024, Nvidia made a resounding entrance into the graphics card arena, unveiling a series of new cutting-edge GPUs: the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, and RTX 4070 Super. Positioned strategically to replace their predecessors—the RTX 4080, RTX 4070 Ti, and RTX 4070—these new additions maintain the same price points, promising an upgraded experience for users.
Nvidia boldly asserts that the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series GPUs are not merely successors but harbinger of a new era in graphics processing, especially PC gaming. Boasting enhanced speeds and fortified with RTX platform capabilities, these GPUs promise a performance boost across games, applications, and AI tasks.
Leading the charge, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, slated for launch on January 17th, boasts an impressive 20% increase in cores compared to the RTX 4070. This augmentation positions it as an optimal choice for those seeking an upgrade for both 1440p gaming and content creation. Nvidia claims it outpaces the GeForce RTX 3090 in the most demanding games, all while consuming significantly less power. Priced starting at $599, it introduces DLSS 3, promising a 1.5X speed boost.
Next in line, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, arriving on January 24th, seeks to redefine high-performance gaming. With a substantial core enhancement, it boasts 1.6X the speed of the RTX 3070 Ti in demanding games and an impressive 2.5X acceleration with DLSS 3. Tailored with a 16GB frame buffer and a 256-bit bus, it caters to the needs of those who crave maximum potential from their 1440p panels. Priced at $799, it is also a good GPU for creators engaged in video editing and rendering expansive 3D scenes.
The apex of this trio, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, offers additional cores and is said to feature the world’s fastest video memory, operating at a crazy 23 Gbps. With a 1.4X speed advantage over the RTX 3080 Ti and double the speed of a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti when leveraging performance-multiplying frame generation, It seems like a powerhouse for enthusiasts seeking solid graphics performance.
Nvidia used the CES 2024 stage to also unveil tools tailored for generative AI enthusiasts. The introduction of Nvidia TensorRT accelerates workflows on the widely-utilized text-to-image model, Stable Diffusion XL. Furthermore, Nvidia RTX Remix empowers users to infuse ray tracing into older games through the magic of generative AI.
Not to be overlooked, Nvidia ACE microservices, or Avatar Cloud Engine, presents a suite of technologies for game developers, offering the means to populate their virtual realms with remarkably realistic digital avatars. The collective unveiling shows that the wave of Generative AI has also reached to the graphics technology facilitating even better visuals for gamers and the animation industry.
