The Nvidia RTX 4080 is already a powerful graphics card, sitting right below the RTX 4090 in the enterprise space. 40 series setup of GPUs. Now it seems that a successor to the RTX 4080 is in the pipeline. So let’s discuss what to expect from the upcoming Nvidia RTX 4080 Ti, according to the latest leaks.
Nvidia RTX 4080 Ti (or Super) could arrive in 2024
This latest leak comes from X user (formerly Twitter) @MEGAsizeGPU who claims through undisclosed sources that a new Nvidia RTX 40 series graphics card is in the works. The new card is called an RTX 4080 Super, but the leaker mentions that it could also be called the GeForce RTX 4080 Ti.
Nvidia has phased out the Super branding RTX 20 series. It even reportedly has one RTX3090Super GPU, replacing it with the RTX 3090 Ti. So personally, I think it’s less likely that the new and upcoming 80-class RTX GPU will have the Super branding as a suffix.
Let’s speculate on the performance, according to the claims in the leak. While the RTX 4080 is the 103 AD chip, its new big brother, known as the RTX 4080 Ti, is expected to be based on the AD102 chip. This means that the RTX 4080 Ti will be based on the graphics chip of the RTX 4090, the fastest GPU offered by Nvidia.
The total graphics power (TGP) listed for the RTX 4090 is 450W. This is approximately 40% higher than the power required by the 4080. Nvidia is definitely planning the RTX 4080 Ti with a decent performance boost compared to its younger brother! The new RTX 80-class graphics card could be used by the company to adjust the overall price of the RTX 40 series.
It is claimed that the upcoming RTX 4080 Ti graphics card will be priced in the same range as the RTX 4080. Once released, there is a possibility that we could see the RTX 4080 get a price drop and the RTX 4080 Ti become available. around $1,200. This theory is based on the fact that other RTX 40 series GPUs have dropped in price after AMD launched its new RX 7700 XT and 7800 XT GPUs.
