Nvidia’s RTX 40 Super graphics cards are just around the corner, with Nvidia teasing an unveiling of its mid-generation refresh of its Ada Lovelace GPUs ahead of CES 2024. The cards are expected to update a number of midrange to high-end graphics cards from the RTX 4000-series with increased CUDA core counts, enhanced clock speeds, and potentially more competitive price tags.

But that’s all speculation until Nvidia shows us what it’s been working on. If you want to be there when the news drops about just how powerful (and maybe affordable?) these cards actually are, here’s how to watch the RTX 40 Super launch.

NVIDIA Special Address at CES 2024

Nvidia teased the debut of the RTX 40 Super cards on X (formerly Twitter) in early January, pointing to a single online location at a set date and time: Twitch.tv/Nvidia, 8 a.m. PT (11 a.m. ET) January 8.

That’s not the only place you can watch the broadcast, though. Nvidia will also go live for its special pre-CES launch of these cards on its YouTube channel on the same date and at the same  time.

Nvidia is expected to debut a number of new RTX 40 Super graphics cards, though they won’t be comprehensive. This isn’t a full refresh, it’s an addition of a few mid-tier GPUs to better compete with AMD’s reduced pricing, and toutilize some of Nvidia’s better-binned GPUs that it’s stored up since the original RTX 40 launch.

Rumors and leaks suggest Nvidia will debut the RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, and RTX 4070 Super at its pre-CES event. The RTX 4080 Super will allegedly get a slight CUDA core bump of around 500 cores, an improvement of a few percentage points on its base and boost clocks, and slightly faster memory. The RTX 4070 Ti Super will have around 800 more CUDA cores than its non-super counterpart, as well as a wider memory bus, giving it around 300% extra memory bandwidth. The RTX 4070 Super, however, will reportedly receive over 1300 new CUDA cores, bringing it much closer to the RTX 4070 Ti.

These cards are slated to launch throughout January, starting with the 4070 Super, and ending at the end of the month with the 4080 Super.

All of this is pure speculation for now, so don’t take it as fact. Along with the rumored specifications, we also have some interesting leaks around pricing. The RTX 4080 Super has been rumored to be priced between $1,000 and $1,200 — around the price of the existing RTX 4080. The RTX 4070 Ti is rumored to be priced at $800, and the RTX 4070 Super at just $600. These prices are very close to the existing non-Super models, suggesting Nvidia is using more aggressive pricing with its Super refresh to better target AMD’s RTX 7000 GPUs that have received price cuts.

These AMD and Nvidia release date updates are giving me whiplash
PNY RTX 4080 with the power connector attached.

If you're wondering about the future of Nvidia's and AMD's top graphics cards, you're not alone. We all know it's almost time for the next generation of GPUs to be released, but no one knows when exactly that's going to happen. Today, another source weighed in with conflicting information regarding the release dates of the RTX 50 series and the RX 8000 series, and honestly, it's all starting to give me whiplash at this point.

At the beginning of 2024, most enthusiasts and leakers alike believed that all three GPU makers -- AMD, Intel, and Nvidia -- would launch their next-gen products before the end of the year. In fact, early leaks pointed to an end-of-summer release for AMD. As time went on, we've all tempered our expectations as it became clear that we're unlikely to see any new graphics cards before early 2025.

If you want to buy an RTX 4090, now might be your last chance
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU.

There's no disputing that the RTX 4090 is one of the best graphics cards you can buy, but now might be your last chance to buy it. According to members of the Board Channels forum (via VideoCardz), Nvidia has discontinued the graphics card and will stop fulfilling new orders this month.

We saw this coming. Last month, members of the Board Channels forums signaled that Nvidia was getting ready to discontinue the RTX 4090 to make way for next-gen RTX 50-series GPUs. Nvidia hasn't said it's discontinuing the card, and it likely won't, but some regions are already experiencing shortages and increased prices. The German outlet PC Games Hardware writes: "It is now becoming increasingly clear that the GeForce RTX 4090 ... will soon have reached its end of lifetime," following high prices and "increasingly poor availability" in the region.

The best CPU to pair with the RTX 4070 or 4070 Ti
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D held between fingertips.

The Nvidia RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti are among the best graphics cards you can buy for high frame rate gameplay at 1440p, and even a little 4K in the right title. But you'll only be able to make the most of these graphics cards if you pair them with a powerful processor.

Matching CPUs with GPUs can be tricky. When upgrading your PC, you might have a certain GPU in mind based on price and performance, but knowing what the best processor to pair with is may not be as obvious. For the RTX 4070 or 4070 Ti, these are your best options to consider.
