With the launch of the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40we find the paradox that the 12GB model of the RTX 4080 would perform much lesssomething that encrypted around an 18 percent performance loss compared to the 16GB memory model, and that, taking various benchmarks, It seemed that it was going to have a level of specifications according to that of an RTX 4070.
Now, as we read from NVIDIA itselfthe company has decided to “unlaunch” this product purely due to a name that is not appropriate, appealing to the fact that having two graphics cards called RTX 4080 will cause confusion.
It is to be hoped that, in time, we will see how NVIDIA will take advantage of these cards, which will definitely be manufactured or close to being, to launch them like any other model, be it RTX 4070, 4060 Ti, or whatever it is in keeping with its actual performance compared to the rest of the range.
This is one more example of how user complaints about brands trying to sell something under a name that isn’t it have workedWell, this card really should never have been released as a GeForce RTX 4080, but as an inferior model.
