NVIDIA drops the 12GB GeForce RTX 4080 بطاقة

By introducing the 12GB and 16GB versions of the GeForce RTX 4080 a few weeks ago along with RTX-4090NVIDIA has clearly failed to impress the public. The manufacturer is trying to correct the situation by canceling the RTX 4080 12GB.

For a few generations of graphics cards, NVIDIA has applied itself to release the Model 90 or TITAN as a tech offering, the Model 80 at the top of the range, then the Model 70 and subsequent models. For Ada Lovelace, she chose the manufacturer Introducing two RTX 4080 With enough different characteristics – right down to the integrated GPU – to make a doubt arise: is it really the RTX 4080 12GB or rather the RTX 4070 (Ti) that is too expensive to officially bear that name?

There is no doubt that a certain size of the RTX 4080 12GB has already left the factories, and therefore it seems unlikely that this card will be scrapped entirely. On the other hand, we can expect the manufacturer to retain these characteristics and simply change the name of the card. But this will require NVIDIA partners to review their copy on the packaging and package side, and throw out all the already manufactured RTX 4080 12GB boxes…
