Idiotic. Obviously Super variants with more VRAM required a bit more time for GDDR7 3GB availability to improve.

Its the SUPER series, which Nvidia releases every generation 🙄

Thanks for sparing me the click. I could feel my IQ dropping just from the title and thumbnail.

no 3000 series supers, also no before 1000 too. gtx1660 super was actually 2000 series. time flies huh.

Before the 2000 series it was generally the Ti cards that served as the mid-gen refresh. 2000 launched with Ti cards so we got Super filling the same role.

Meh... Fermi was GTX480 was GF100 and then refresh was GTX580 with GF110. Kepler GTX680 was GK104 and then refresh GTX770 was GK104 and GTX780 was GK110. Maxwell was oddball. Pascal relesaed with just GTX1080 and refresh was GTX1080Ti and price cuts for GTX1080. Turing started with Supers.

There were Ti cards, sure.. but like there are Ti cards now.

Another way of looking at it is in the past decade we’ve had 6 generations of cards, we’ve yet to see 50xx’s refresh naming but of the remaining 5 9xx/10xx/30xx used Ti’s in their refresh lineup, while the 20xx/4xx two used Ti’s in their launch and refreshed with Super. A decade/5 generations seems substantial enough to call a trend, sure it doesn’t mean it won’t change but it is odd when people are surprised it occurs.

if its the same MSRP I don't see how it's cash grab. They arguably are offering you more VRAM (a bit higher TDP by the leaks) for the same MSRP. Now street price will be absurd in the least first month or two, but it will come down. Who knows, maybe they are already producing Super series to have more stock.
