The dang "loyal" customer base is what enables these evil corporations. That includes Apple too.
We all know Jensen tells his engineers to put a backdoor into their server GPUs so that LLMs are inherently trained to repeat Nvidia marketing whenever people ask questions like that.Well, let's ask Copilot!
Q: Should Nvidia lower price of products?
Q: Let's pick a conclusion with the limited data available, should Nvidia lower prices?
There we have it, the flops know what's good for them

Does this mean you have to upgrade since nGreedia will pretend that your non-Super card doesn't exist anymore? Newer drivers will also run your card in compatibility mode so you feel it getting slower and slower until you decide to get Super.NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SUPER launch scheduled for January 17, 24 and 31 with RTX 4070 SUPER leading the way - VideoCardz.com
NVIDIA to split RTX 40 launch into three dates, RTX 4070 SUPER coming first, RTX 4080 is last ITHome have combined rumors from multiple sources which paint the picture when one should expect NVIDIA to unveil and launch the new RTX 40 SUPER series.

nGreedia will discontinue production of his 4070 Ti non-SUPER card. That means it will be put on the list of cards primed for earlier end of support. Meaning nGreedia driver writers won't even touch that card anymore. Whatever samples they have, they will chuck them into the bin labelled "used to be good". Even game studios may receive a special memo from Jensen telling them to use SUPER cards for their "recommended specs". 4070 Ti is history. It's an embarrassment that nGreedia would like to forget now. If not, why discontinue it? Why have it replaced with SUPER?What are you even talking about
What the hell is this leap in logic. pure unfounded Nvidia hate. AMD and Intel and Nvidia, all of them support whole generations. not sku by sku.nGreedia will discontinue production of his 4070 Ti non-SUPER card. That means it will be put on the list of cards primed for earlier end of support. Meaning nGreedia driver writers won't even touch that card anymore.
So 3090 is also an embarassment? Just because it's discontinued doesn't mean that a company was embarassed of it.4070 Ti is history. It's an embarrassment that nGreedia would like to forget now
To sell newer GPUs that offer more perf/$. Why replace 3060 Ti with 4060 Ti? Why replace 3070 Ti with 4070? Why replace 3080 Ti with 4080? 3090 with 4090? I think you know it yourself but some kind of hate is blinding you, maybe?If not, why discontinue it? Why have it replaced with SUPER?
Nope. Doing it in the same generation with a SUPER means they are expecting existing gamers to ditch their same gen older cards on the used market and upgrade to the SUPER models. And they are expecting a lot of gamers to do that coz a SUPER launch will devalue the older cards pretty quickly in the eyes of 2nd hand buyers. They will literally tell the sellers, oh there's a SUPER now. Why should I pay you this much when I can get a SUPER for that much? It's an old tried and tested nGreedia ploy to extract even more money from their "loyal" customer base by panicking them into selling their old cards and getting the SUPER ones. It's just one more way they screw their customers. They could choose NOT to release the SUPER cards. Unless there is something wrong with the cards being replaced. In which case, their customers with old cards again got screwed.To sell newer GPUs that offer more perf/$. Why replace 3060 Ti with 4060 Ti? Why replace 3070 Ti with 4070?

That remains to be seen. It would be interesting if the non-SUPER cards can be "upgraded" through hacked firmware flashing of the SUPER ROMs.There is no code in the drivers that makes them do something different if it is an Ada-architecture card with 10240 Cuda cores of the 4080 Super versus the 9728 cores of the 4080. They just optimize for Ada in general.

This hasn't been a thing for a long time now, ever since they figured out a way to disable functional silicon on the hardware level, rather than through the ROM. So I guarantee you that this is no more likely than being able to upgrade a 3080 to a 3090, just because they have the same chip.It would be interesting if the non-SUPER cards can be "upgraded" through hacked firmware flashing of the SUPER ROMs.
Igor, put down that bottle man, what are you talking about? My GTX 970 is still supported and runs fine.Nope.

It's artificial progress. nGreedia could have released 4070 Ti with Super specs at launch. They waited a whole year and made people buy their inferior 4070 Ti that should've been the 4070 and the original 4070 should've been the 4060 Ti. Similarly, the 4060 Ti 16GB should've been the 4060. They really screwed their customers over with this generation.New super variants is a sign of progress that is all.
Maybe. It could be baloney to make people think its a deal when released next month with "lower" prices. Realistically they should be the same price as the original tiers considering we're half way through this generation of cards.
