A potential Nvidia RTX 4080 spec upgrade has surfaced, and the upcoming GeForce graphics card will apparently feature fewer CUDA cores than previously thought. The rest of the RTX 4000 GPU specs seem safe for now, but the tweak suggests the green team’s plans for gaming PCs aren’t yet set in stone.
The latest RTX 4080 leak, like most other RTX 4000 leaks, came about thanks to save 7kimi, which lists revised specifications based on insider information. Once again, the configuration of AD102 has not completely changed, but it will now contain 9728 CUDA cores instead of 10240.
This isn’t the first time the RTX 4080 has been downgraded, as previous spec predictions point to a whopping 14,080 CUDA cores. However, the latest information retains the information that it will be equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6X video memory, a 256-bit memory bus and a total power consumption of 420 watts.
It’s worth remembering that Nvidia’s RTX 4000 ambitions are always subject to change, so we’d recommend waiting for an official announcement before committing to specific specs. The RTX 4070 is also expected to come with revised specs as it will now have 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM and could possibly follow the RTX 3090 Ti.
The next best graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia are just around the corner, with both lines expected to launch in the coming months. While Lisa Su has confirmed that higher-end Radeon cards are coming “later this year,” the rumors cannot conclude on the next generation GeForce ETA.
Experts believe the RTX 4090 will arrive first, but there’s reason to believe it will be the only RTX 4000 GPU to arrive in 2022. That means we may have to wait until next year for the RTX 4060, RTX 4070, and RTX 4080. , but given the convoluted nature of current speculation, it’s best to wait for something official.
