Despite “launching” the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB just under a month ago, it appears that Nvidia plans to bring the GPU back to market under a different name. The rebranding isn’t entirely surprising, but it remains to be seen if Team Green will stick to the previously announced price for this graphics card.
Nvidia said the reason for its decision to discontinue the 12GB GeForce RTX 4080 was that “having two GPUs with the 4080 designation is confusing,” which, while true, doesn’t speak to the performance differences between the two models. . . Now, according to kopite7kimithe pixel pusher will be renamed the RTX 4070 Ti.
Since the performance of the 12GB GeForce RTX 4080 GPU was lower than the 16GB model, the RTX 4070 Ti moniker is certainly more in line with the CPU power. We’ll have to wait and see until we get one, but this could be the best graphics card on the market for under $1000.
It’s still unclear when Nvidia plans to release the RTX 4070 Ti, but the 12GB RTX 4080 was originally scheduled to launch shortly after the 16GB RTX 4080, so it could happen very soon. We also don’t know if it will still cost $899, especially after the announcement that the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT will cost the same.
