Some reported sales figures for NVIDIA’s newly released RTX 4070 Ti Super show a much broader picture than other recent leaks about RTX Super updates.
VideoCardz spotted the report via the German 3DCenter, which highlights the purported launch day figures of Mindfactory, a flagship store in that country.
Obviously, be wary if numbers leak out, however, we’re told that the RTX 4070 Ti Super went from 280 to three hundred games on day one (some approximation refers to how some models were sold).
That’s more than the RTX 4070 Super, which managed to sell around 240 games on its first day at Mindfactory.
Why is there so much interest in the more expensive model?Like many tech sites, here at TweakTown, they rated the RTX 4070 Super above the 4070 Ti Super, but the latter still sold more; this may just be a mirror image of the weight of the PC. Are gamers giving out more VRAM these days?(And with the 4070 Ti Super, the original Ti’s memory is expanded from 12GB to 16GB. )
Of course, there was a launch alongside the RTX 4070 Ti Super, i. e. AMD’s RX 7600 XT, and that graphics card didn’t move the needle much in terms of interest from German customers. Apparently, the 7600 XT only managed to sell around 30 units on the first day, which is similar to the functionality of the Vanilla RX 7600, which reached between 30 and 40 sets.
This will have to be disappointing for AMD, however, we’re told that the limited availability of the 7600 XT played a role in the sales chart here, and the fact that some of the models on sale were above MSRP.
Also, we must not forget that this is just a set of sales figures from one European store (and in fact only for a single day, this is an important day).
So, there’s only so much we can read into this, although the relative levels of interest between the two RTX Super refreshes that have come out so far is of course something of a revelation – seeing as we expected this to go the other way around, as noted. (And indeed if the rumors are right, so did NVIDIA, given that the RTX 4070 Super was supposedly favored for a greater emphasis with production volume).
It also contradicts some previous rumors that the RTX 4070 Super sold shakily on its launch day; not in Germany, it’s not, those numbers are pretty solid. On the other hand, the functionality of those GPUs could be different in Europe compared to the US, where in the latter case sales have not been as good, at least according to one YouTube leaker (Moore’s Law is dead ).
That said, NVIDIA took Moore’s Law is Dead’s announced sales functionality into account and pointed to stronger sales in the UK (via TechRadar) as well as Germany, as we see here.
