This performance gap is expected to widen further when NVIDIA releases the SUPER update for the RTX 4080 by the end of January, reports videocardz. As previously reported, the original RTX 4080 card is set to be discontinued upon the release of the new iteration. Similarly, the non-SUPER version of the RTX 4070 Ti is following the same path, with the new SUPER variant offering gamers a comparable price point and a slight boost in power. This specific model boasts an increased memory capacity of 16GB, a 4GB upgrade from its non-SUPER counterpart. While the 3DMark benchmarks may not fully utilize the expanded frame buffer, they might already demonstrate the benefits of improved bandwidth. The larger memory capacity could have a significant impact on high-resolution gaming with Ultra settings. The outcome is likely to vary depending on the specific game title, with GPU-bound games potentially showing double-digit performance gains, while others may exhibit more modest improvements.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is set to launch on January 24, with initial reviews expected to be available a day before. Unlike the RTX 4080 SUPER and 4070 SUPER, the 4070 Ti version will not feature a Founder's Edition design. Consequently, there may be performance differences based on the specific model being tested. However, the review coverage on January 23 will focus on the so-called MSRP models, all anticipated to have similar clock speeds and TDP settings.
