NVIDIA Kills the RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 to Make Way for the Super Refresh

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and 4080 aren’t long for the market. NVIDIA has permanently ended the production of these Ada GPUs to make way for their Super variants. As reported earlier, the RTX 4070 will exist alongside its Super, albeit after a price cut.

The GeForce RTX 4070 Super and 4070 Ti Super are expected to offer notable performance gains over their predecessors. In addition to the core counts, they also upgrade the memory and cache. However, the RTX 4080 Super will be a minor increment, packing slightly more cores and a slightly lower price tag.

News of the production halt comes from ITHome, a reputed Eastern outlet. As per the publication, the mass production of the RTX 4070 Ti and 4080 has already ended, and the last supply run will end in the final quarter of 2023.

The GeForce RTX 4080 didn’t have a particularly successful run. At launch, it was panned by reviewers for its steep price tag. Following the Radeon RX 7900 XTX launch, much demand has shifted towards the RDNA 3 flagship.

The 7800 XT release did something similar to the RTX 4070 and 4070 Ti. The RX 7800 XT is a fan-favorite, leading the bestsellers across several retailers in the EU. NVIDIA is set to hold a “Special Address” on the 8th of January at 8:00 AM PT, where the Super refresh is expected to be revealed.
