The closest competition for the RTX 4070 SUPER is AMD’s $999 Radeon RX 7900 XTX
The Dell Alienware Aurora R16 is now available for $1899.99 and equipped with an Intel Core i7-14700F CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD
The RTX 4080 Super has been released and is now available for $999
``The RTX 4080 Super runs close to GeForce RTX 4080 performance due to its limited power usage of 320W TGP''
The RTX 4080 Super has been released and is now available for $999, making it a more affordable option compared to the outgoing RTX 4080. However, there is only a minor increase in performance with some spec bumps including an increase in CUDA cores and memory bandwidth. Despite having faster memory and more shader processors, the RTX 4080 Super runs close to GeForce RTX 4080 performance due to its limited power usage of 320W TGP. The biggest benefit is the drop in price by $200.
The RTX 4080 Super is equipped with an AD103 GPU and has 16GB of GDDR6X graphics memory, similar to the RTX 4080. It's important to note that this card is fundamentally an RTX 4080 with a paint job.
The closest competition for the RTX 4070 SUPER is AMD’s $999 Radeon RX 7900 XTX, which trades blows with Nvidia’s RTX 4080 Super.

The RTX 4080 Super is the third and potentially final of Nvidia's refreshed 40-series GPUs.
It offers a significant price drop but little increase in performance compared to the outgoing RTX 4080.
Accuracy
The RTX 4070 Super got a significant performance boost.
It's barely faster than the vanilla 4080 and doesn't offer anything new.
Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title claims that $999 is the main feature of the RTX 4080 Super but fails to mention that it's actually a price cut compared to its predecessor. Secondly, while stating that performance has barely improved from the original card, it also mentions in another sentence that this new version is around 3% faster than its predecessor which contradicts itself. Thirdly, the article compares the RTX 4080 Super with AMD's $999 Radeon RX 7900 XT but fails to mention that it trades blows with Nvidia's own card and is actually cheaper than it.
The RTX 4080 Super Founders Edition and regular RTX 4080 have little difference in terms of hardware, despite the article stating otherwise.

The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy by stating that the RTX 4080 Super is faster than the original card it's replacing without providing any evidence. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when they describe $999 as a lot of money for a GPU, but this statement is subjective and not based on objective criteria.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title claims that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super review is a 'slightly faster than the 4080' but it fails to mention that it is $200 cheaper which makes it slower overall. Secondly, when comparing this GPU with AMD's RX 790 XT, the article states that they are in direct competition but does not provide any benchmarks or tests to support this claim. Thirdly, the article claims that Nvidia has no reason to push out lower-priced consumer cards and uses AD103 chip with slightly higher memory clocks which is a lie by omission as it fails to mention that the 4080 Super does not have any new features or improvements over its predecessor. Lastly, the article claims that this should be the final entry in Nvidia's RTX 40-series Ada Lovelace GPUs but there is still room for a 4090 update which contradicts their own statement.

Bias

The article is biased towards Nvidia and their products. The author uses language that dehumanizes AMD's RX 7900 XTX by calling it 'vastly inflated retail prices'. They also use the phrase 'slashing the MSRP', which implies that AMD's pricing is unfair, when in fact they are simply competing with Nvidia on price. The author also uses language like 'second-fastest overall GPU' and '$200 cheaper than the vanilla 4080', which creates a false sense of superiority for Nvidia over AMD.

It has faster memory and more shader processors than the standard version of the same model, resulting in slightly enhanced performance.
Despite having faster memory and more shader processors, it runs close to GeForce RTX 4080 performance due to its limited power usage (320W TGP).
The biggest benefit is that it is priced lower than the standard version by $200.

The author uses language that deifies NVIDIA and its products, such as calling it 'arguably the most recognised entry in NVIDIA's Series 4000 SUPER graphics card lineup'. They also use phrases like 'the biggest benefit therefor is the drop in price by $200', which implies that this is a significant advantage of the product, when it may not be for everyone. The author also uses technical jargon to make the article sound more knowledgeable and trustworthy, but this can come across as condescending or elitist.
