There are also versions at recommended prices
GeForce RTX 40 Super video cards will go on sale during this month, and the RTX 4070 Super model will be available for purchase from January 17th. And we can already look at the prices that stores have set for new items.
The most options are for the RTX 4070 Super, as it will go on sale in just a day. Stores already offer many options, and some of them will indeed be sold at a suggested price of $600. The most expensive versions, like the MSI Gaming X, cost about $650.
In the case of the RTX 4070 Ti Super, there are no models at the recommended price yet. The minimum that can now be seen in stores is $850 for the MSI Gaming OC. But MSI's Gaming line has never been sold at recommended prices, so you can quite count on the fact that there will be cards for $800.
As for the RTX 4080 Super, the recommended price is the most interesting here, since it is $200 lower than the recommended price of the RTX 4080. So far there are no non-reference models for $1000, although there is already a Founders Edition for that money. And non-reference ones now start at $1,050 for Gigabyte Gaming OC. But this is already significantly lower than the prices for the RTX 4080.
Thus, apparently, there’s no need to worry about the fact that Nvidia’s new products won’t be available at the recommended prices at launch.
