NVIDIA’s latest GeForce RTX 4070 Super chips are facing delays in shipments to partners, pushing the availability of the highly sought-after GPUs to the end of September. The delay is attributed to NVIDIA’s decision to halt the shipping of AD104 chips, resulting in limited supply for AIBs.
The RTX 4070 Super, which was introduced as an upgrade to the RTX 4070 with GDDR6 memory, has been met with high demand in the market. Despite the initial availability of the GPU in retail stores, the delay in shipments may impact the availability of various RTX 4070 Super variants from different AIBs.
With the impending launch of the RTX 50 series “Blackwell” cards, including the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, NVIDIA is expected to shift its focus towards these newer, high-end designs. The upcoming RTX 50 series is rumored to feature higher TDPs compared to their predecessors, offering improved performance for users looking to upgrade their graphics cards.
Although the delay in RTX 4070 Super shipments may lead to a temporary price hike and limited availability, it is likely that NVIDIA will prioritize the production and distribution of the newer RTX 50 series cards in the coming months. As the tech industry continues to evolve, consumers can expect more powerful and efficient GPUs to enhance their gaming and computing experiences.
