Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com October 16 news, after a lot of criticism from users, Nvidia recently announced the cancellation of the completely shrunken RTX 4080 12GB graphics card.
Now, at least two motherboard partners have confirmed to foreign media Gamers Nexus that Nvidia is willing to reimburse the packing box for the canceled RTX 4080 12GB graphics card.
According to reports, Nvidia will negotiate with partners who have already made boxes for RTX 4080 12GB graphics cards to reimburse them for their packaging costs. Since graphics cards are no longer released, these boxes must now be collected and destroyed as if they had never been advertised. It is not clear whether Nvidia will reimburse labor costs.
CTOnews.com learned that as the lowest-end product in the RTX 40 series graphics card, the RTX 4080 12GB has attracted a lot of criticism since its release because it does not use the same GPU as the 16GB version, only with 192bit bit width memory. Seemingly bowing to the pressure of these criticisms, Nvidia has removed the card from its RTX 40 series lineup and cancelled its November listing.
Nvidia has confirmed that the RTX 4080 16GB will be launched on November 16. Officials say the RTX 4080 is a very good graphics card, but its name is not reasonable, and two RTX 4080 models will be confusing.
At present, major graphics card manufacturers are deleting RTX 4080 12GB from the official website one after another. the following picture shows the PNY RTX 4080 12GB graphics card box.
