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.

    Ha. That's weird. Maybe the real world benchmarks or the price points were too close for them to justify different products but they already had them so... ? Well, we'll know soon enough I suppose.
