Nvidia’s RTX 4080 12GB Get’s CANCELLED! BUT WHY?
Let's get started with Nvidia. The company recently announced 3 GPUs, the RTX 4090, RTX 4080 16GB and the RTX 4070… Sorry I meant 4080 12gig. And of course, when the specs were revealed, Nvidia got a lot of flack for the confusing naming scheme, the high price of entry, and the fact that the performance per dollar was all out of whack for the 4080 ‘s. So what does Nvidia do? Well, they cancel one of them. In a blog post released today, the company said that its pressing the “Unlaunch” Button on the RTX 4080 12gb. Why?
Well, lets take a look. “The RTX 4080 12GB is a fantastic graphics card, but it’s not named right. Having two GPUs with the 4080 designations is confusing.” wow. So Nvidia effectively managed to find the worse possible solution.. after launch.. And announces it on a random blog post?
Here is what just happened. First, Nvidia made the price of entry of the RTX 4000 series even higher at $1200. Second, now that there are no 900$ cards that compete with a 3090 or 3090 ti, well those cards are going to keep a higher price for a longer period of time. Heck, anything above a 3080 is going to keep a higher price because of this move. Thirdly, they eliminated the 2nd best choice in the RTX 4000 series. I dont know if you remember, but a couple of videos ago, I did some calculations to find out which RTX 4000 series had the best price per Cuda core. The 4090 was #1, the 4080 12GB number 2, and the 4080 16GB was number 3. So yeah, even less value for the money. Not that these were value offerings anyways.
Now, it's safe to assume that this GPU will be back with the 4070 naming scheme. I mean it's literally a different GPU from the 4080 16GB. It had an AD104 chip, while the 16GB has an AD103 chip. But it's definitely going to be interesting to see at what price this thing will launch.
