Nvidia has just announced a significant update to their RTX 40 Series graphics cards with the introduction of the RTX 40 SUPER series. Slated to stimulate the market and satisfy gamers' demand for advanced ray tracing and AI-powered GPUs, Nvidia introduces three new models: RTX 4080 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 4070 SUPER. These cards are not only offering better performance but are also strategically priced to address the value concerns raised by the initial 40 Series launch. The series promises notable leaps in performance, especially for those upgrading from the 20 or 30 series cards, with internal benchmarks showing substantial gains in popular titles like 'Alan Wake 2' and 'Cyberpunk 2077'. The release sequence starts with RTX 4070 SUPER arriving on January 17, followed by the 4070 Ti SUPER and 4080 SUPER on January 24 and January 31 respectively. Pre-orders for the new SUPER cards will begin shortly ahead of their release this month.

What performance improvements can gamers expect from Nvidia's new RTX 40 SUPER series compared to the previous 20 and 30 series cards?

Gamers can expect the new Nvidia RTX 40 SUPER series graphics cards to deliver significantly higher performance levels, with the company promising a considerable uplift in frame rates for modern games, even at higher resolutions and settings. The new cards are said to have triple the Tensor Cores, more memory, and lower power consumption than their predecessors, which should translate to better gameplay experiences in ray-traced and AI-enhanced games.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards series, first introduced in 2018 with the 20 series, have pioneered real-time ray tracing in consumer graphics cards. The introduction of the RTX opened up new possibilities in visual fidelity for games, allowing for more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections. The RTX 40 SUPER series builds upon this technology, further pushing the boundaries of PC gaming performance.
