Most people don’t upgrade to the same generation super card.

Most people upgrade from a 10, 20 or less so 30 series card.

They are selling upgrades to older generations.




But everybody who is upgrading is trying to figure out which card to upgrade to, and are doing comparisons between the current gen cards, not between their old card and the new ones.


It is likely that there will be no choice between Super and non-Super.

At least 4070 Ti and 4080 have become completely obsolete when their Super variants are much better, and in the case of 4080 Super, even cheaper too.

I suppose that they have stopped producing the non-Super variants, as nobody would want those where the Super cards are available.

I am still using a 2060 Super from 2019, and the same has happened in that year when the RTX 2000 Super series has replaced the previous RTX 2000 series.


I think people shop based on, have card A and get X fps and I can get Y fps with card B.

Card A is old, and card B is new.

The availability of original and super cards that compete in the same price point will be very short, and most people won’t really have that choice.
