The Nvidia RTX 4080 doesn’t seem to be the hot girl from GPU school, as it’s still widely available in retail stores. While the gaming PC scene is used to “out of stock” signs and empty virtual shelves, the poor sales of the Lovelace card may be due to the card’s unfavorable price.
If you’re a frequent visitor to Amazon and Newegg, you’ve probably already noticed the abundance of RTX 4080 storefronts. Of course, these options cost significantly more than the already pricey FE version, with the cheapest option available now costing $150 more.
We’re not the only ones spotting the Nvidia RTX 4080 stock scenario as reports pop up around the world. Earlier this week OC3D reviewed the situation in the UK and found that all options are still available in retail stores. indignant, canucks gear shared information about video card shipments in Canada, indicating that the 4080 is the first card that hasn’t been sold at a time in over two years.
In our Nvidia RTX 4080 review, we expressed our sympathy for the best graphics card contender because it’s an amazing 4K GPU at a terrible price. To make matters worse, AMD says that its best RDNA 3 card, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, is set to compete with the Lovelace card because it’s supposed to offer a similar experience for $200 less.
It is clear that Nvidia is throwing a ball in its footing in regards to the prize du RTX 4080. However, we are headed by a global recession, where interest in the construction of the best PC de jeu pourrait s’estomper in the next years. Hopefully the green team will take note of the feedback when the RTX 4070 Ti goes live, both in terms of price and balanced performance.
