The RTX 4000 series graphics card that NVIDIA introduced in the past months is the subject of a new event almost every day. While the most powerful of the family, the RTX 4090 graphics card, caught fire due to the power cables and sued NVIDIA, the difference between the 12 GB model of the RTX 4080 and the 16 GB was also the reason why the 12 GB model was named RTX 4070 Ti.
Of course, this small-scale chaos caused the most trouble-free member of the family, the RTX 4080, to be forgotten. NVIDIA, on the other hand, uses an unexpected way to sell the remaining RTX 4080s.
Not a promotion, a permanent discount
Harukaze5719, which even kopite7kimi, one of the reliable sources on graphics cards, said, “It has really successful analyzes”, stated that the RTX 4080 series almost did not sell, and many users who did not buy a graphics card were waiting for the more affordable RTX 4070 and RTX 4070Ti models. Allegedly, NVIDIA, which has graphics cards in its hands, will permanently reduce the price of the RTX 4080 in mid-December (ie in the coming days).
Harukaze states that his source at NVIDIA says this is not a campaign or winter sale, and that there will be a discount on the recommended selling price of graphics cards. Of course, at this point, it is claimed that the prices of the RTX 4070 and 4070 Ti can also be reduced compared to this.
On the other hand, many analysts such as kopite7kimi and harukaze5719 claim that AMD’s new graphics cards will be priced much higher. If NVIDIA really makes this reduction, NVIDIA’s RTX 4000 series graphics cards can dominate the market in early 2023, as it will take the lead in price / performance point.
