NVIDIA cancels GeForce RTX 4080 12GB
Facing never-ending criticism, NVIDIA has just announced it will not launch GeForce RTX 4080 12GB model, the card that we knew and will always know as RTX 4070. In a last-minute change in September, the company had decided to launch two RTX 4080 models with vastly different specifications. Turns out this has backfired hard.
NVIDIA has just announced it is 'unlaunching' its RTX 4080 12GB GPU. Only the 16GB model will be released. NVIDIA has confirmed that, 4080 16GB launches on November 16th.

Because the difference isn't just the amount of memory. It's a different chip with a different performance profile. It would be like Intel calling both their 8-core and 6-core CPUs i7. Basically every reviewer called out the 4080 12GB as the 4070.
