NVIDIA is reportedly announcing the RTX 40 SUPER GPUs on January 8 with CUDA core increases and clock speed enhancements, among others. According to the latest leak by Moore's Law Is Dead, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and the RTX 4070 SUPER could retain the prices of their RTX 40 siblings while the RTX 4080 SUPER could end up becoming a direct competitor to the RX 7900 XTX.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Latest-RTX-40-SUPER-pricing-leak-reveals-enticing-RTX-4080-SUPER-RTX-4070-Ti-SUPER-and-RTX-4070-SUPER-MSRPs.789269.0.html
It doesn't really matter, as long as they are supply constrained they will sell for far higher than their MSRP.
As a consumer (rather than a temporarily inconvenienced industry observer), hopefully the shortage / high prices today are simply companies holding back for release of these newer designs, which should finally lead to something like real competition since AMD finally seems to be getting its act together.
What would be really interesting is competition for designs with more than 24GB of VRAM, or perhaps a PCIe 5.0 bus since they removed NVLink.
