Nvidia could be going all out to rival AMD's RX 7800 XT — retailer lists RTX 4070 Super in 12GB and 16GB variants

The Upcoming Palit RTX 40 Super Series GPUs

Russian-based retailer Extremecomp listed Palit's RTX 40 Super series graphics cards with specifications. The website did not have the GPU's images uploaded, but the manufacturer's code listed on the website matches the ones from Momomo's recent post.

The source listed the upcoming Palit RTX 40 Super series under Gaming Pro/ Pro OC, Jetstream OC, and Dual variants. Based on the placeholder information, Palit has readied the RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, and RTX 4070 Super with 12GB and 16GB GDDR6X variants.

Based on how Palit's RTX 40 non-super versions are configured, its GPU's base clock is the same as used on Founder's Edition. The OC suffix has varying boost clock speeds, which the website didn't list.

The RTX 4080 Super is on the 256-bit memory bus, with other variants on 192-bit. The Asus RTX 4070 Super OC Edition uses the 12VHPWR connector rather than the 8-pin connector used in its non-super OC card. Some PSU brands have already started providing the much-awaited 12V-2x6 cables for existing or newer power supplies. Since these are hoped to be much safer standards, new RTX 4070 / 4070 Ti Super users can get a 12V-2x6 cable from respective vendors for that piece of mind, assuming their existing power supplies qualify for the new cable.

The RTX 4070 Ti Super now has 16GB GDDR6X, while the non-super version is limited to 12 GB. The RTX 4070 Super appears to have two memory variants - 12GB GDDR6X and 16GB GDDR6X.

The difference between Palit's Dual and Dual OC is the boost clock speed, while its base clock is the same as Founder's Edition, according to its RTX 40 non-super specifications. Assuming it is the same here, The RTX 4070 Super 12GB has a 40 MHz increase in base clock over the RTX 4070 Super 16GB. The previous leaks have more details about the RTX 40 Super's specifications, but this is the first we've seen a leak specifying RTX 4070 16GB GDDR6X from a brand.

Earlier leaks showed Nvidia's schedule to announce and allow the reviews of the new RTX 40 Super Series throughout January, ready for purchase from respective dates. If those leaked schedule details are accurate and unchanged, we may see both memory variants of the RTX 4070 Super on Jan. 8, followed by its review and sales embargo lifted on Jan. 17.

    In my opinion, the RX 7800 XT is the best card you can get for under 600 Euros. The only way that Nvidia is going to "rival" the RX 7800 XT is to drastically lower their prices...but we know that will never happen.

    It's not just the prices: if it really wants to rival AMD for mid-range, Nvidia has to stop releasing 12 GB cards. We 're just a few days shy of 2024, for God's sake. 16 GBs, should be a bare minimum, IMHO.

    Can't be a 16GB card with 192bit interface, it could be a mistake

    Yeah not really sure you can have mixed ram densities on the same bus….

    Definitely a typo. AD104 tops out at a 192 bit memory bus.

    They're doing everything except giving us a 16GB 4070 Super for $500 which would -actually- rival the as-low-as-$520 RX 7800XT.

    Could it be a very cut down AD103?

    Hypothetically they could. Realistically they won't. Yields are good and they'd have to use 4070 ti pcb's in order for it to match the bga of AD103.
