Last week at CES 2024, NVIDIA made waves with the announcement of the powerful GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. Boasting a 10-15% performance increase, thanks to the 48MB L2 cache and a higher number of CUDA cores, this graphics card is set to revolutionize the market.
Priced the same as its regular counterpart, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is expected to be a game-changer. However, early sales reports have taken an unexpected turn for this highly anticipated product.
According to Moore’s Law is Dead, retail sources are painting a bleak picture of the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER launch. It’s shaping up to be Nvidia’s worst-selling video card to date.
Initial sales have been reported to be even worse than the GeForce RTX 4080, with only models at the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) selling well. Pre-orders for this graphics card have been lackluster, and buyers seem uninterested in its release.
Reports from retail sellers in the US and Europe indicate that Nvidia’s latest offering may be a global flop. One potential reason for this could be the limited video memory of the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, which comes with only 12 GB of video memory, falling short of consumer expectations for a $600 graphics card.
Speculators have also entered the fray, with reports of one group buying multiple graphics cards at the “best price.” However, the situation is so dire that scalpers are considering canceling their pre-orders.
In some parts of Europe, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is already available at a 5% discount from the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. With new SUPER models set to debut by the end of the month, the situation is likely to worsen.
