Nvidia officially hit the face, last month also said that the RTX 4080 12G is an excellent level 80 GPU

CTOnews.com, October 15, according to Videocardz, Nvidia is in the process of deleting previous introductions after announcing that it will cut RTX 4080 12G.

CTOnews.com noted that a question-and-answer article on Nvidia's Chinese website can still be found, in which Nvidia explained the reasonableness of the existence of RTX 4080 12G:

The naming of RTX 4080 16GB and 12GB continues the naming of two different versions of RTX 3080 in the previous generation, as well as other similar products before. RTX 4080 provides two specifications, one with 16GB memory and the other with 12GB memory, that is, one product name and two specifications.

The 4080 12GB is an excellent GPU with better performance than the previous generation of flagship product RTX 3090 Ti, and with the support of DLSS 3, its performance can even reach about three times the performance of the RTX 3080 Ti, there is every reason to believe that it is an excellent level 80 GPU. We know that many gamers may want a higher specification option, and the RTX 4080 16GB happens to provide larger video memory and higher performance. The packaging, product details and sales promotion of the two versions will be significantly different, so gamers and creators can easily choose the GPU that suits them more.

Now, however, Nvidia has published a new face-beating article, saying that the RTX 4080 is a very good graphics card, but its name is not reasonable, and two RTX 4080 models can be confusing.

Currently, it has been confirmed that the RTX 4080 16GB will be launched on November 16, and it is not clear when the renamed RTX 4080 12G will be launched.
