One graphics card maker calls sales of new Nvidia GPU a "disaster", while retailers turn down stock of overclocked graphics cards.
Gamers are reportedly not rushing out to buy the latest Nvidia mid-range GPU, with GeForce RTX 4070 Super sales being described as a “disaster” by Nvidia graphics card maker, and scalpers reportedly canceling their orders. The new GPU was launched earlier this week for $599, adding more cores and faster clock speeds to the original RTX 4070 specs to improve gaming performance, but the new launch doesn’t look like it’s going well.
You can read all about this new Nvidia GPU in our full RTX 4070 Super review, where we gave it a score of eight out of ten, making it one of the best graphics card options. It wasn’t a clean win, though. The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is still a very strong competitor, coming with a full 16GB of VRAM for much less money, and it’s only the superior ray tracing abilities and widespread DLSS 3 support that (just) make the RTX 4070 Super a better buy.
There certainly haven’t been any of the stock shortages we’ve seen with some other recent Nvidia GPU launches, and several models are still available and in stock for the $599 MSRP on retailers such as NewEgg. What’s more, tech YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead has quoted several sources in a video (which you can see below), including retailers, board partners, and even scalpers, claiming that RTX 4070 Super sales have been disappointing.

Nvidia RTX 4070 Super sales are so bad even scalpers don’t want it
