TECH NEWS – It’s not enough that they have Ti variants of several of their graphics cards, now they’re throwing the Super moniker into the mix…?!

Videocardz has discovered that T4CFantasy, the editor of the TechpowerUp GPU database, has added new PCI IDs to the repository. The ID 2703 might refer to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, which has been a common rumor lately, and while this is a bit of a guess, let’s not forget that it “sat” next to the regular RTX 4080, as its device ID number is 2704…

Recently, we’ve heard rumors that the RTX 4080 Super will be available with a mix of chips depending on supply, so it will be available with AD102 or AD103 GPUs. Kopite7kimi, a GPU insider, wrote on Twitter that he thinks the chip mix will be there for the RTX 4070 Super, but that it may use the AD103 and AD104 chips. (Nvidia’s naming strategy is simple: the lower the last digit, the more powerful).

According to rumors, the specifications of the GeForce RTX 4080 Super will not be significantly different. It may have 20 GB of GDDR6X VRAM, it may work with a 320-bit interface, but we can be rightly doubtful about the latter, as the AD103 chips have a maximum of 256, not 320. Three leakers have also used the Super branding, but it’s not yet clear if Nvidia will actually use it, as the GeForce RTX 4000 series uses Ti-s for cards that are more powerful than the base model.

It’s likely that Nvidia is working on updating the 4000 family, and then these cards will be released with the Super branding, but there are still some gaps, as the RTX 4050 is already in laptops, but Nvidia hasn’t released a desktop version yet. (In fact, the GTX 1630 was the last one in the entry-level price range, and before that there was a GT 1010; maybe they could release a cheap card capable of ray tracing!)

A RTX 3050 with 6GB VRAM could be in the pipeline for a 2024 release. No, not 4050, 3050. Nvidia’s logic hurts.
