The beginning of the year brought several new graphics cards that expanded or innovated the offer. In Nvidia’s case, it was the Super series, which includes three models. She was the first to go to the shops GeForce RTX 4070 Super, which brought significantly more performance thanks to such a number of CUDA cores that it is almost an RTX 4070 Ti. At the same time, the original price also remained, so we got an RTX 4070 Ti “almost” cheaper by more or less USD 200. The initial sales turned out to be tragic, but now things have improved and we would no longer label the card as an extreme flop. Today they are… OK. Its problem is that the higher performance should theoretically make it easier to play in 4K, however, the unchanged relatively small 12GB of VRAM will often not be enough for that.

And the VRAM issue is something that it solved GeForce RTX 4070 Super. Although it did not significantly increase the number of cores, it did upgrade the 12 GB VRAM to 16 GB. And as indicated by the data from stores, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is noticeably more successful right from the start of sales. Higher gross performance and larger memory also mean better possibilities for playing in 4K, where the small memory of the original models will no longer be a limiting factor. E.g. at the German MindFactory last week they sold 400 of these cards, while the RTX 4070 Super was 180 (not a bad number either, but the RTX 4070 took 315 units, which is quite surprising considering the small price difference and the high performance difference) . The number one is the Radeon RX 7800 XT with 500 units. On Amazon, the RTX 4070 Ti Super was even in the 1st position for a while, but now it is only in the 15th place. The RTX 4070 Super then occupies the 21st and 27th positions, which also shows that sales of the initially rejected model are rising.
Let’s remind you that sales GeForce RTX 4080 Super starts today In its case, the number of CUDA cores has increased only minimally, the memory is slightly faster, but the capacity has not changed. But the main draw of this model is the $200 lower price than the RTX 4080.
Well, finally here we are Radeon RX 7600 XT. This new model mainly brings increased VRAM graphics memory to 16 GB. Together with higher clocks, this brings about a 9-15% higher performance depending on the resolution (higher differences in 4K, smaller in Full HD), however consumption has increased on paper by 15%, in practice by 25%, the price is a fifth higher. More memory could help AI tasks, but this is not such an important parameter in the consumer area yet. As a result, the RX 7600 XT isn’t doing very well in sales. E.g. on Amazon, the first Radeon RX 7600 is in 18th place, the first RX 7600 XT is in 70th place. Other stores also report low interest.
