Nvidia made a surprising move a while ago and canceled the RTX 4080 12GB, one of the top models of Ada Lovelace architecture, before it was released. The cancellation process started with serious criticism of the graphics card on technology forums and social media. Because the RTX 4080 12GB, in essence, was significantly different from the RTX 4080 16 not only in terms of memory amount but also in horsepower.The canceled RTX 4080 12GB would have been released with less memory, fewer memory buses, and about 25 percent fewer CUDA cores. However, at this point, we will not see this card in the market with this name. Manufacturers are already re-boxing and packaging the card in their hands. In addition, studies such as making changes on the card, changing the labels, updating it with the compatible BIOS will also be carried out. According to information from the industry, Nvidia will bear some of these additional costs.
Might be RTX 4070 Ti or RTX 4070
It is highly likely that the RTX 4080 12GB will be launched as RTX 4070 Ti or RTX 4070 by changing shape and name. However, this situation essentially completely changes Nvidia’s roadmap. What would the original planned RTX 4070 or 4070 Ti have to offer if this card hadn’t been cancelled? Or what about the RTX 4060 Ti? The RTX 4080, which will be renamed as a result, will have a knock-on effect on the entire family.On the other hand, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 ($1,599) has already been released. In November, the RTX 4080 16GB will enter the market with a price tag of $ 1,199. It is stated that a new card will probably enter the shelves within the scope of CES 2023.
