Announcing the RTX 4090, RTX 4080 12GB and RTX 4080 16GB graphics cards at the GeForce Beyond event held in the past weeks, Nvidia is making a surprising decision. The technology giant announced that the RTX 4080 12GB model was canceled before it was released.It may appear as RTX 4070 Ti or RTX 4070
As it is known, RTX 4080 12GB and 16GB versions, powered by Ada Lovelace architecture, were introduced with a big performance difference between each other. To recall, the RTX 4080 12 GB model comes with 7680 CUDA cores, 12 GB GDDR6X memory, 192-bit bus and 285W TGP, while the RTX 4080 16 GB, 9728 CUDA cores, 16 GB GDDR6X memory, 256-bit bus and 340 It has TGP value.
Nvidia, which received harsh criticism from users due to the performance and naming confusion between the two cards, stepped back from its decision and said, “RTX 4080 12 GB is a great graphics card, but its naming is not correct. It’s confusing that there are two GPUs in the RTX 4080 series. That’s why we hit the cancel button for the RTX 4080 12 GB. The RTX 4080 16GB is great and is coming November 16th.” made the statement.
Thus, we can say that the new graphics card was unplugged before it was released. It may appear again as RTX 4080 12GB, RTX 4070 Ti or RTX 4070.
