We will never know how forced the launch of new NVIDIA models will be due to pressure from AMD in the GPU market, as seen with the RTX 2000, the company doesn’t need too much to fill in the gaps. of the market. But if these new GPUs are true, the high-end market is going to move a lot.
NVIDIA RTX 3070 SUPER and RTX 3080 SUPER, two models in addition to the RTX 3080 Ti?
I know there have been new SKUs recently, but I don’t know their names yet, maybe 3070 Super and 3080 Super.

He was the fleeing again Kopite7kimi the one that put white on black in reference to the new GPUs NVIDIA would be launching outside of the four we have commented on several times already. And is that the RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3060, RTX 3050 Ti and RTX 3050 those of Huang could launch an update of the current RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 to better compete with AMD.
The names are hypothetical, but the chips that would bear are given: GA102 and GA103S. Here it should be pointed out that while this is a leak with no other basis at the moment, it is true that it was also stated that a 20GB RTX 3080 would arrive and this was canceled by the company for the benefit of the RTX 3080 Ti.
On top of that we have to take into account that there is another GPU pending as rumored and in the air like the RTX 3070 Ti, also with a supposed GA103 of which at the moment there is not even no actual image so everything is being taken with a grain of salt for now, although it may well be that we are talking about the same GPU that just changed its BOM, as happened with 20 GB RTX 3080 and the RTX 3080 Ti.

While the information is more than accurate, if we stick with what NVIDIA did with the RTX 2000 vs RTX 2000 SUPER, the new specs for these RTX 3070 SUPER and RTX 3080 SUPER are expected to have a thrust forward.
Normally, NVIDIA would increase the number of shaders and also launch an improvement in the frequency of VRAMs, where it is estimated that this would also increase the total size of those. It may be that the increase in Shaders results in an adjustment of the memory controllers and with it a new bus that allows the VRAM to be adjusted to the 16 GB that its rival carries, thus changing the bandwidth compared to the cards of origin.
Although this is a guess, if NVIDIA is launching a supposed SUPER line, it is to cover the market, so it would be interesting to match the amount of GDDR with AMD and with the incentive that it would be GDDR6X. At the moment, these are just rumors, but as we saw two months ago some have taken shape and will be a reality when NVIDIA presents its new models at CES in a few days.
