Nvidia’s RTX 40 Super graphics cards are just around the corner, with Nvidia teasing an unveiling of its mid-generation refresh of its Ada Lovelace GPUs ahead of CES 2024. The cards are expected to update a number of midrange to high-end graphics cards from the RTX 4000-series with increased CUDA core counts, enhanced clock speeds, and potentially more competitive price tags.

But that’s all speculation until Nvidia shows us what it’s been working on. If you want to be there when the news drops about just how powerful (and maybe affordable?) these cards actually are, here’s how to watch the RTX 40 Super launch.

NVIDIA Special Address at CES 2024

Nvidia teased the debut of the RTX 40 Super cards on X (formerly Twitter) in early January, pointing to a single online location at a set date and time: Twitch.tv/Nvidia, 8 a.m. PT (11 a.m. ET) January 8.

That’s not the only place you can watch the broadcast, though. Nvidia will also go live for its special pre-CES launch of these cards on its YouTube channel on the same date and at the same  time.

Nvidia is expected to debut a number of new RTX 40 Super graphics cards, though they won’t be comprehensive. This isn’t a full refresh, it’s an addition of a few mid-tier GPUs to better compete with AMD’s reduced pricing, and toutilize some of Nvidia’s better-binned GPUs that it’s stored up since the original RTX 40 launch.

Rumors and leaks suggest Nvidia will debut the RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, and RTX 4070 Super at its pre-CES event. The RTX 4080 Super will allegedly get a slight CUDA core bump of around 500 cores, an improvement of a few percentage points on its base and boost clocks, and slightly faster memory. The RTX 4070 Ti Super will have around 800 more CUDA cores than its non-super counterpart, as well as a wider memory bus, giving it around 300% extra memory bandwidth. The RTX 4070 Super, however, will reportedly receive over 1300 new CUDA cores, bringing it much closer to the RTX 4070 Ti.

These cards are slated to launch throughout January, starting with the 4070 Super, and ending at the end of the month with the 4080 Super.

All of this is pure speculation for now, so don’t take it as fact. Along with the rumored specifications, we also have some interesting leaks around pricing. The RTX 4080 Super has been rumored to be priced between $1,000 and $1,200 — around the price of the existing RTX 4080. The RTX 4070 Ti is rumored to be priced at $800, and the RTX 4070 Super at just $600. These prices are very close to the existing non-Super models, suggesting Nvidia is using more aggressive pricing with its Super refresh to better target AMD’s RTX 7000 GPUs that have received price cuts.

The RTX 5090 is available early — if you’re willing to spend $4,000
RTX 5090.

It's a brand new generation of Nvidia's best graphics cards, but it still feels like déjà vu. The RTX 5090 comes with a recommended list price (MSRP) of $2,000 and it's set to hit the market on January 30, but some scalpers are already selling the card on eBay. We're no strangers to scalper prices, what with the GPU shortage we've all witnessed during the RTX 30-series, but the RTX 5090 is truly hitting new heights here, with some models priced at a whopping $7,000.

As spotted by VideoCardz, some people have already gotten their hands on the RTX 5090, and they took to eBay to sell those cards at a premium. Many sellers don't actually have inventory right now, which is not surprising, given that the card isn't available yet; only reviewers got their GPUs early. Some listings say that the cards won't ship until February 5, which is a week after the release date, at which point it makes little sense to already buy an RTX 5090 at such a huge markup.

Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs: performance, specs, prices, availability

Nvidia has announced its new line of GPUs, the RTX 50-series -- and the first two are almost here, ready to rival the best graphics cards. We were already able to get our hands on the RTX 5090, which is why we now have a better idea of what these cards are capable of.

While we're still waiting for the RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070, we know that Nvidia is promising some huge leaps in performance, thanks to the new AI powers of DLSS 4. Here's everything you need to know about Nvidia's RTX 50-series.

Nvidia’s RTX 50-series might give us a repeat of the GPU shortage
Nvidia's RTX 5090 sitting at CES 2025.

Nvidia's RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are set to release later this month, and there's no doubt that they'll end up being some of the best graphics cards of the year. Unfortunately, it also seems that they might be hard to come by, as many sources expect that the RTX 50-series will have very limited availability to start with.  If this checks out, we might see a similar situation to the GPU shortage we endured during the launch of the RTX 30-series.

VideoCardz compiled a number of leaks that all add up to the same thing: Nvidia and its partners may not be able to supply many next-gen GPUs in time for the launch date. This wouldn't necessarily mean that the official January 30 release date would get pushed -- that's pretty unlikely at this point. Instead, the GPUs might be up for sale, but limited in number, and they won't be restocked for some time.
