@ 2022/10/17Only the RTX 4080 16GB launches on November 16th
Nvidia has decided to cancel the RTX 4080 12GB and possibly relaunch it under a different name at a later date. This is not a big surprise considering the RTX 4080 12GB raised a lot of eyebrows back when it was announced.
In case you missed it, Nvidia announced a total of three RTX 40 series graphics cards, the flagship RTX 4090, which is already launched and being scalped from retail/e-tail shelves, as well as the AD103-based RTX 4080 16GB, and the AD104-based RTX 4080 12GB.
This pretty much means that the two RTX 4080 graphics cards only shared a name, as the RTX 4080 16GB packed 9,728 CUDA cores and a 256-bit GDDR6X memory interface, while the RTX 4080 12GB ended up with 7,680 CUDA cores and 192-bit GDDR6X memory interface.
