Nvidia has unveiled the GeForce RTX 4070 Super at CES 2024. The RTX 4070 Super supplants the regular RTX 4070 at the same US$599 price point while offering ~22% more CUDA, Tensor, and RT cores at a 220 W TGP. Nvidia claims that the RTX 4070 Super can beat a 350 W RTX 3090 when DLSS 3 is enabled.
Nvidia has finally taken wraps off new Ada Lovelace desktop GPUs at CES 2024. The GeForce RTX 4070 Super brings considerable hardware changes compared to its non-Super counterpart.

The RTX 4070 Super (AD104-350) offers a ~22% increase in CUDA cores (7,168) compared to its RTX 4070 non-Super variant (5,888). According to Nvidia, this increase should afford up to 36 TFLOPs of FP32 performance compared to 20 TFLOPs of the RTX 3070. Correspondingly, we also now get to see 224 4th gen Tensor cores (184 in non-Super) and 56 3rd gen RT cores (46 in non-Super).
The memory subsystem remains unchanged, however, with 192-bit 12 GB GDDR6X VRAM running at 21 Gbps yielding a total of 504 GBps bandwidth. The 4070 Super also receives a slight bump to the base clock at 1,980 MHz while the boost remains the same as that of the regular RTX 4070 at 2,475 MHz.
According to Nvidia, the RTX 4070 Super at 220 W TGP is able to beat a 350 W RTX 3090 in DLSS 3 titles, while offering more than 2x the performance of the RTX 3070. The RTX 4070 Super is slated to consume 11 W in idle, 16 W during AV1 video playback, and 200 W of average gaming power.
Nvidia also showed a slide comparing the RTX 4070 with DLSS 3 Frame Gen vs the RTX 3070 and the RTX 2070. This comparison is moot considering that frame gen is only possible with Ada Lovelace cards. That being said, the RTX 4070 Super does offer significant frame rate gains over the RTX 3070 in non-frame gen enabled games as well.
The RTX 4070 Super will be available in Founders Edition with a new matte finish and as add-in board (AiB) partner cards from January 17 starting at US$599, the same MSRP as that of the original RTX 4070.

Though a cell and molecular biologist by training, I have been drawn towards computers from a very young age ever since I got my first PC in 1998. My passion for technology grew quite exponentially with the times, and it has been an incredible experience from being a much solicited source for tech advice and troubleshooting among family and friends to joining Notebookcheck in 2017 as a professional tech journalist. Now, I am a Lead Editor at Notebookcheck covering news and reviews encompassing a wide gamut of the technology landscape for Indian and global audiences. When I am not hunting for the next big story or taking complex measurements for reviews, you can find me unwinding to a nice read, listening to some soulful music, or trying out a new game.
