RTX 4070/4070 ti Super

Just bought a legion go (what a brilliant little machine), and I'm waiting on the Razer X Core Chroma to arrive (egpu).

I have been debating purchasing a RTX 4070/4070 ti, but the Supers (4070/4070 ti) are apparently around the corner in January. What can we expect of the Super models in increase in performance? Would they be better value than the current 4070/4070 ti's.

Would love to hear people's opinions and insights into these cards.

Hope you've all had a lovely Christmas day.

    Do we have any idea what vram will be available? One of the gripes people have around the 4070/4070 t cardsi is the 12gb vram, and the concerns that games coming out even now, that push these cards past their vram limit. Loads of threads and debates of recommending the 3090 (even though it's 3 years old, and lacks dlss3) above the aforementioned cards, due to its 24gb vram.

    I would recommend to buy what is available\what you can afford now as waiting on the next technology is folly - as technology changes so fast by the time that shiny new part is available there will be another shiny new thing on the horizon. Also it's unlikely to make a significant difference to gameplay - the difference probably only noticeable using benchmarks and unless you have two rigs (one with the old card & one with the new card - everything else identical) side by side you would be unlikely to notice those differences.

    By contrast YouTubers have suggested holding off until the supers come out. Moore's law is dead is the geekiest on this and to be fair I haven't paid too much attention. I cannot remember how much hardware unboxed said about it. A lot of it is speculation but the consensus I got was to hold off of you can.

    HUB also said wait for the Super announcements. It makes sense as current card prices are unlikely to rise, at worst they'll probably not move and the new cards slip in at the old MSRP.

    Nobody knows how much the new cards will be, Nvidia has been known to set prices during the actual product launch.
