Lenovo unveils new GeForce RTX 4090 D, RTX 40 SUPER series Legion graphics cards at CES 2024
Lenovo has just unveiled their new custom GeForce RTX 40 SUPER series graphics cards as new members of their growing Legion family of graphics cards... as well as a new GeForce RTX 4090 D Legion graphics card that should be headed to China.
NVIDIA recently announced its new GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER graphics cards during its Special Address event at CES 2024, with AIB partners going nuts announcing new custom RTX 40 SUPER graphics card designs. Lenovo isn't far behind, with its own take on the new RTX 40 SUPER Legion graphics cards.
The new GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics cards will be options for Lenovo's flagship Legion 9000K gaming PC. Meanwhile, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER graphics cards will be available inside the Legion 7000K gaming PC. If you want to make sure you're getting the latest model, gamers will want to spot the "2024" in the product name to make sure you're getting the very latest from Lenovo.
ASUS is launching TUF Gaming and Dual AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB graphics cards
At CES 2024, AMD announced a new GPU for its Radeon RX 7000 Series line-up with the Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB. Launching January 24 with an MSRP of $329, it's a rarity - a 1080p GPU with 16GB of VRAM. As exciting as that may sound, the extra VRAM (on a 128-bit bus) is more for content creation and AI than outright gaming.
Spec-wise, the new Radeon RX 7600 XT shares the same GPU and chip as the Radeon RX 7600 8GB - 32 Compute Units/Ray Accelerators and 64 AI Accelerators. In addition to doubling the VRAM, it also increases Clock speeds, which AMD advises will deliver faster 1080p and 1440p gaming performance than the Radeon RX 7600 in all games. Triple-digit max settings performance with upscaling and frame generation.
ASUS has announced that it is bringing two 7600 XT cards to market, the TUF Gaming AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT and the ASUS Dual AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT. These OC models are "ready to unleash users' creativity in next-gen AI and content creation workloads."
Beware: scammers are selling RTX 4090 cards without GPUs, counterfeit RTX 4090s on the loose
NVIDIA's flagship GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card is now a scam for some customers, with HKEPC reporting that a new scam in the second hand market has turned up... counterfeit GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards.
The expensive and very fast GeForce RTX 4090 had at least one person spending $13,000 HK ($1660 USD or so) on a GeForce RTX 4090 that was... fake. The card looked fine, with the scammer showing off original photos of the graphics card with its RGB lights working and all.
But, once the card was received... that's when the person knew they were scammed. The fans didn't work, and get this: the GPU was missing. Yeah, the AD102 GPU that powers the GeForce RTX 4090 itself was gone. $1660 flushed down the toilet, as the buy has an expensive RTX 4090 that simply doesn't, and will never work.
Paranoid about melting NVIDIA power cables? ASUS RTX 4090 BTF GPU ditches the cable completely
NVIDIA's RTX 4090 had issues with melting cables that raised considerable alarm bells early in its life - gremlins that have still been reported fairly recently - so you'd be forgiven for being paranoid around this problem.
However, ASUS has come up with a solution in its new ROG Strix Lovelace flagship, albeit this comes loaded with its own caveats (more on that later).
The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 BTF Edition doesn't have a traditional 16-pin power connector that hooks up to the power supply, and instead gets its power using a PCIe connector.
Wave goodbye to the RTX 4070 Ti and 4080, as NVIDIA is officially scrapping these GPUs
NVIDIA is ceasing production of its GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 graphics cards according to a leaker.
We were informed of the situation by the editor of German tech site Hardwareluxx, Andreas Schilling on X (formerly Twitter).
Schilling listed the official pricing of NVIDIA's new RTX Super refreshes in a tweet, noting that the RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 were EOL or end-of-life.
INNO3D GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER TWIN X2, Unboxing an MSRP card
The INNO3D GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER TWIN X2 arrived at TweakTown GPU HQ (that is my home office). Ahead of its full launch on January 17, we're able to share some shots and a short video showcasing one of the very first GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series GPUs to hit the market.
This MSRP model will adhere to the $599 USD price point for the new GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, so there will be no out-of-the-box overclocking or over-the-top cooling. In fact, the physical design is almost identical to the INNO3D GeForce RTX 4060 TWIN X2 we reviewed in 2023; it is small, lightweight, and has a two-slot thickness that will suit small form factor gaming PCs.
With 20% more CUDA Cores than the existing GeForce RTX 4070 (7168), during NVIDIA's RTX 40 SUPER Series announcement, it said that this was enough to make it faster than the previous-gen flagship GeForce RTX 3090. It also has more AI Tensor and RT Cores for improved ray-tracing performance.

MSI GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series has a new EXPERT card that looks like a Founders Edition model
MSI has announced its full NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series lineup for the new GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 4080 SUPER announced at CES 2024. In addition to the new SUPRIM, GAMING X TRIO, GAMING X SLIM, and VENTUS cards, the company is introducing a brand-new design called EXPERT.
MSI's new GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series EXPERT card(s) feature a "push-pull airflow design for enhanced cooling" reminiscent of NVIDIA's Founders Edition design - with one fan on each side of the GPU. Throw in Aluminum Die-Casting to give it a metallic look, Vapor Chamber cooling, and a new 'patented fan design.' It looks stylish and very cool.
There is no word yet on which of the three RTX 40 SUPER Series cards will be getting EXPERT models or if all of them will, so stay tuned for more details. If we had to guess, we'd expect EXPERT models for the RTX 4080 SUPER and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.
GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Founders Edition unboxing
The new GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the first of three new GPUs in the 40 SUPER Series set to launch, available on January 17. With 20% more CUDA Cores and beefed-up specs, it's faster than the GeForce RTX 3090 for 1440p gaming, using a fraction of the power.
Ahead of our full review (coming at a later date), we are allowed to present a first-hand look at the new GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Founders Edition GPU - an unboxing! Similar in size to the RTX 4070 Founders Edition, the SUPER branding and metallic shroud are now in shiny black.
Putting the two RTX 4070 FE models side by side, the difference in look is immediately apparent, with the black metal giving the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Founders Edition a more rugged and sleek look.

GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER and RTX 4080 SUPER Founders Edition models look incredible in all black
NVIDIA revamped its Founders Edition design for the GeForce RTX GPUs with the GeForce RTX 30 Series, where it introduced one of the most stylish and unique GPU designs in years. From revamped cooling with intake and exhaust fans on each side of the GPU to an all-metal build with intricate fins, it's a look and design language that has carried through to the Ada-powered GeForce RTX 40 Series.
With NVIDIA announced three new GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series GPUs at CES 2024, the company also confirmed that two of the three models (the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER and GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) will be getting Founders Edition models. Sadly, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is missing out.
With a similar form factor to the non-SUPER models for these graphics cards, these new Founders Edition cards include the new 'SUPER' branding but with black colored metal instead of the various shades of grey seen in the non-SUPER editions and the 30 Series.
GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4070 Ti, and RTX 4080 SUPER announced - pricing, specs, and performance!
After several months of leaks, rumors, and official teases, the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series of GPUs has been officially unveiled at CES 2024. Based on specs, pricing, and performance, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER all make a strong case for potentially picking up a new NVIDIA GPU.
NVIDIA is increasing performance without increasing prices - in the case of the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER (launching January 31), the price is being lowered from an MSRP of $1199 USD to $999 USD - a 16.7% decrease. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (launching January 24) replaces the existing $799 GeForce RTX 4070 Ti while bumping up the specs and the VRAM capacity to 16GB of fast GDDR6X memory for the same price.
And then there's the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER (launching January 17), which features 20% more CUDA Cores than the GeForce RTX 4070 to deliver "faster than GeForce RTX 3090" 1440p gaming performance for the same MSRP of $599 USD. And with that, the TGP is increasing to 220W compared to 200W on the baseline GeForce RTX 4070.
