NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 12GB has lower performance than 16GB

Today the presentation of the new NVIDIA graphics cards has taken place, but a detail that the company has not had the diligence to clarify is that the two versions of the RTX 4080 presented do not have the same performancesuggesting that the 12GB RTX 4080 really should have been an RTX 4070.

This case, as we indicated in the main news, is reminiscent of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 1060, where the 3GB models had significantly lower performance than the 6GB modeland in this case we are faced with the same thing.

Although the operating frequencies are favorable to the 12GB model, it is worth seeing how the 16GB model has 9728 cores, compared to the 7680 cores that the 12GB model has, in the case of a 21% reduction in the number of coreswhich we could extrapolate to the rest of the components of the chip in the absence of a clear specification about them.

Similarly, this reduction in performance will not be 21 percent either, since the operating frequencies are slightly higher, but, in any case, we find two graphics cards with the same name and appearance that will perform quite differently from each otherso buyers should be careful.
