A day after we reported that Gigabyte is prepping a bunch of GeForce RTX 40-series Super graphics cards, the company's gaming division Aorus published a teaser depicting a new graphics board at CES. Given that AMD is not expected to release any new high-end Radeons at the upcoming tradeshow, it is more than likely that Aorus Turkey will essentially confirm Nvidia's RTX 40 Super launch.
The graphics card Aorus Turkey showcases is akin to other Gigabyte's Aorus Master WindoForce-branded high-end offerings: at least three slots wide. It has three 'bionic shark' fans. Meanwhile, there is an RGB ring around each fan. It is, of course, impossible to tell what GPU the board on the picture carries and whether the cooling system of the alleged Aorus GeForce RTX 40-series Super graphics card is different from 'non-Super' offerings. Still, at least the upcoming products are similar to existing boards design-wise.
Nvidia is expected to introduce its GeForce RTX 4080 Super, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super, and GeForce RTX 4070 Super at a special event on January 8, a day before CES kicks off. Since Nvidia takes the wraps of its 'Super' products on January 8, it is reasonable to expect its partners to demonstrate their versions of these devices starting the next day at the trade show.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4080 Super, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super, and GeForce RTX 4070 Super are reportedly based on the AD103 and AD104 graphics processors featuring the Ada Lovelace architecture.
While the GeForce RTX 4080 Super is expected to offer a moderate performance bump compared to the non-Super model, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super and GeForce RTX 4070 Super are projected to be noticeably faster than their non-Super counterparts, at least based on leaked specifications.
