Various MSI RTX 40-series SUPER Graphics Cards Get Placeholder Listings with E-Tailers

[btarunr]

Unreleased MSI GeForce RTX 40-series SUPER graphics cards are beginning to show up on European online retailers, VideoCardz reports. These are placeholder listings, meaning that they're just there to feed the spiders and get customers to check back for pre-orders. A Swiss retailer has the MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER listed at prices ranging between 1,230 CHF ($1,465) for the cheapest Ventus 3X model, and 1,355 CHF ($1,613) for the most premium SUPRIM X model. These prices are inclusive of 18% taxes, which points to the likelihood that the RTX 4080 SUPER has an NVIDIA MSRP of approximately $1,200, displacing the current RTX 4080 from its launch MSRP. The RTX 4080 can be occasionally seen listed for as low as $1,180.

Meanwhile, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is seeing its prices range from 992 CHF ($1,180, including taxes) for the cheapest model to 1,063 CHF ($1,265), pointing to the possibility of a $950 MSRP. This SKU might not displace the current RTX 4070 Ti from its $800 MSRP, with street prices starting at $790. Lastly, there's the RTX 4070 SUPER, starting at 777 CHF ($924) including taxes for the cheapest model, and 848 CHF ($1009) for the priciest one, which points to the likelihood of a $700 MSRP, which again, doesn't seem to be displacing the RTX 4070 from its $600 starting price. Again, placeholder prices tend to be wildly off the mark, and we'll only know what's on NVIDIA's mind on January 8, when it announces the three in its CES presentation.

Well, today in my country, still the average price for nvidia RTX 4080 16gb = US$ 1500 (around US$ 1300-1700).

We will see, obviously, but if NVidia really unironically decides to price the 4070 and 4070Ti replacements at 100-150 bucks higher than the previous cards, then these releases will be complete non-starters. Last time, with Turing, the whole point of Supers and why they were received fairly decently was that they did improve the price to performance somewhat and were widely seen as “this is what the 2060/2070/2080 should have been from the start”. This go around… well, hopefully the placeholders are just that and this isn’t NVidia just creating even MORE segments without moving the needle on actual price-performance.

With that pricing they lost me fully. For that price one get's also the most expensive AMD RX 7900 XTX including a seperate watercooler. I will keep sticking on AMD at my new build.

A 4070 Super at 1000€ and the Ti Super at 4080 price range?
That can't be right.

Ludicrous, I hope this is some sort of bad joke, almost 1000$ MSRP to get a card that should have been released in place of the actual 4070ti that we got.
