NVIDIA Cancels GeForce RTX 4080 12GB, To Relaunch it With an Alternate Name

NVIDIA has chosen to drop the November 2022 launch of the GeForce RTX 4080 12 GB. The company will relaunch the card under an alternate name, however it didn’t declare the substitution name presently. The naming of the RTX 4080 12 GB was cause for much debate. With the RTX 40-series “Ada,” NVIDIA appeared three SKUs — the all around launched RTX 4090 which is in stores at the present time; the RTX 4080 16 GB, and the RTX 4080 12 GB. Memory size in any case, the RTX 4080 12 GB is a tremendously various illustrations card from the RTX 4080 16 GB.

The RTX 4080 12 GB and RTX 4080 16 GB didn’t actually have a similar silicon. While the 16 GB model depends on the bigger “AD103” silicon, has 9,728 CUDA cores, and a 256-digit wide GDDR6X memory bus; the RTX 4080 12 GB depends on the more modest “AD104” silicon, has only 7,680 CUDA cores (21% less CUDA cores); and a small 192-cycle wide GDDR6X memory bus. This could befuddle purchasers, particularly given the $900 cost. With analysis spreading over web-based entertainment as well as terrible press, NVIDIA chose to reassess the RTX 4080 12 GB. The company will probably re-brand it as a replacement to the RTX 3070 Ti, albeit then it will struggle with supporting its $900 sticker price. The RTX 4080 16 GB, be that as it may, is on target for a November 16 accessibility date, with a pattern cost of $1,200.
