NVIDIA recently introduced the new RTX 4000 series graphics cards, and the most talked about thing on the internet was the size of the card. To buy an RTX 4000 series card, you need to buy a new power supply, a new case, and a new motherboard. In other words, you need to line up the safe from the beginning.
As you know, NVIDIA announced two different models of the RTX 4080, 12 GB and 16 GB. One of these models was canceled before it went on sale. Let’s take a look at the reason.
A selfless act from NVIDIA
RTX 4080 12GB; It had a price tag of $899 with 7,680 CUDA cores, up to 2.31 GHz processing speed, 639 Tensor-TFLOPs, 92 RT-TFLOPs and 40 Shader-TFLOPs. However, the 16 GB model of the RTX 4080; It was a much more powerful model with 9,728 CUDA cores, 2.21 GHz processing speed, 780 Tensor-TFLOPs, 113 RT-TFLOPs and 49 Shader-TFLOPs.
Therefore, NVIDIA has decided to cancel the 12 GB model of the RTX 4080. There is a very reasonable reason behind the cancellation decision. NVIDIA announced that the 12 GB RTX 4080 model has a mountain difference with the 16 GB model, and therefore it will not sell this model under the ‘RTX 4080’ brand and with a price tag.
Of course, NVIDIA made this decision not by thinking on its own, but based on the criticism and feedback received. However, we can still say that it is a selfless behavior for the company to listen to its customers. What are you thinking? Please do not forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
