Details have emerged regarding the custom models of Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 Super models from both MSI and Gigabyte, further fuelling rumors of a January launch for the refreshed cards.
There have been several rumors regarding the supposedly upcoming Super refresh of Nvidia’s RTX 40 Series of graphics cards, and a new leak regarding the custom designs of those cards from MSI and Gigabyte seems likely to confirm for many people that those new cards are set to be officially announced very soon.
There is still no official confirmation on a Founders Edition model for the RTX 4070 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, or RTX 4080 Super, instead hardware suppliers such as MSI and Gigabyte have been hard at work on their own versions of these cards, with some already listed by certain retailers.

Its most extensive line-up is for the 4070 Super, with a total of 16 versions. Some of these will have dual-fan options suitable for compact PC builds.
For MSI, the company is planning to release cards in the SUPRIM, Gaming, and Ventus types. The high-end RTX 4080 Super will have SUPRIM, Gaming X, and Ventus 3X versions. The Gaming X variants will come in the ‘Slim’ form factor, which offers a compact option for smaller PCs and is available with a White coloration. The 4070 Ti Super and 4070 Super will be available in Gaming X and Ventus 2X types.
Preliminary prices for some MSI models have been listed by a few retailers and are around €837 (about $930) for the MSI Gaming X Slim model of the RTX 4070 Super. These prices are likely to change once the official MSRP is announced, which is expected to happen at Nvidia’s keynote at CES 2024.
