NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Now Available, Starting $1200
NVIDIA today formally launched the GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card, its second fastest offering from the GeForce "Ada Lovelace" generation. With a starting price of USD $1,200, the card is positioned a notch below the RTX 4090 flagship, a whole $400 cheaper. It is technically supposed to succeed the RTX 3080 12 GB, while an RTX 4080 12 GB variant was supposed to succeed the RTX 3080 10 GB. NVIDIA cancelled the RTX 4080 12 GB as it heaped bad press due to its specs being significantly different from those of the RTX 4080 16 GB, making this the only SKU with the name RTX 4080.
The GeForce RTX 4080 is based on the 4 nm "AD103" silicon, and armed with 9,728 CUDA cores across 76 streaming multiprocessors. It gets 304 4th generation Tensor cores, and 76 RT cores, besides 112 ROPs. Although it has generationally more memory at 16 GB, its memory bus is narrower at 256-bit GDDR6X. NVIDIA attempted to compensate for this with use of faster 22.4 Gbps-rated memory, and architectural improvements such as larger caches on the silicon, to speed up the memory sub-system. NVIDIA is launching not just the Founders Edition card, but also its partners are launching custom-design boards. Every partner's lineup we've come across thus far includes at least one SKU priced at the $1,200 baseline. The cards should be on the shelves tomorrow (November 16, 2022).
We have a large number of reviews for you today, which include the NVIDIA RTX 4080 Founders Edition, ZOTAC RTX 4080 AMP Extreme AIRO, ASUS ROG Strix RTX 4080 OC, MSI RTX 4080 SUPRIM X, Colorful RTX 4080 Ultra White OC, Gainward RTX 4080 Phantom GS, MSI RTX 4080 Gaming X Trio, and the PNY XLR8 RTX 4080 Verto OC

Oh wait, it still has only 12GB of VRAM.Thought this was supposed to be a 4070 :laugh:
Oops nope 16gb version here
Man maybe add that to the title
Well Nvidia, I hope pricing out your customers does you well. I sure as shit will not be buying one, even if they were nice enough to knock 1500 off they can still suck it :)
Pretty sad when an article lists what the card is near the end of the first paragraph instead of near the top where it should be :laugh:
.
I remember runnin one of these in my wife's B&W G3 Mac back in the day...good times 4 sure !
Yep euro isn't doing to well and vit and vat has always been stupid high so nothing new there.
It's definitely a con.
As is most of nvidia's wares this generation.
Haven't kept up with the power plug crap but thought it was 2x8 pin to 12+4 pin
There are better alternatives and cheaper. So, value your money and think before spending. Especially when you throw such amounts to nvidia.
You would still lose frames from poor server support and dropouts on most always-online games. The guys that stream GTA 5
as "racing games" have all kinds of lag spikes and dropped frames with 30 players in a race.
