There's no question of a new generation of graphics cards from NVIDIA just yet, but a few not uninteresting adjustments.
In September 2022 - yes, more than a year ago - NVIDIA launched its new generation of consumer GPUs based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. In mid-October 2022, the GeForce RTX 4090, the first card to go on sale, was launched - a powerhouse that has never been matched or even remotely rivaled by new graphics cards from AMD or Intel. In its wake, NVIDIA has marketed other Ada Lovelace-generation cards, but each time a little less powerful than its predecessor. Today, from the RTX 4060 to the RTX 4090, via the RTX 4060 Ti, RTX 4070, RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080, we can count on a total of six different references when choosing a latest-generation NVIDIA graphics card.
There will be a 4080S(maybe Ti) in early 2024.
Based on AD102, TGP below 450W, same price range as 4080- MEGAsizeGPU (@Zed__Wang) October 7, 2023
Six and perhaps soon a seventh, if the latest rumours are to be believed. Relayed by VideoCardz, these rumours come from a specialist of the genre, the X account (formerly Twitter) of MEGAsizeGPU. The latter explains that NVIDIA is currently preparing a GeForce RTX 4080 Super or RTX 4080 Ti graphics card. As the former name (Super) has not been used by NVIDIA since the RTX 2000 generation, it's safe to assume that the latter will come into its own. That said, either way, NVIDIA's idea - if confirmed, of course - remains the same.
To close the gap between the GeForce RTX 4090, which has no real competitor, and the GeForce RTX 4080, which is outstripped in many cases by the Radeon RX 7900XTX from our long-standing rival. Releasing a GeForce RTX 4080 Ti would enable NVIDIA to regain the upper hand in the Radeon range without having to knock the GeForce RTX 4090, untouchable in its ivory tower, off its pedestal. This RTX 4090 wouldn't have to drop in price to compete more directly with AMD's top-of-the-range: the RTX 4080 Ti would take care of that for it.

In the table above, the VideoCardz site has compiled all the details given by MEGAsizeGPU about this hypothetical GeForce RTX 4080 Ti and, as you can see, it would be based on the AD102 GPU, like the RTX 4090, even if it obviously won't be "fully featured" on the RTX 4080 Ti. It would simply need to integrate more CUDA cores than the 9,728 of the GeForce RTX 4080 to mark its difference. Remember that the RTX 4090 offers 16,384 CUDA cores. More importantly and interestingly, MEGAsizeGPU seems to know that the launch price of this hypothetical GeForce RTX 4080 Ti would be identical to that of the GeForce RTX 4080. Enough to make its mark?
