If those benchmarks are even remotely comparable to real gaming performance, we’ll be looking at the biggest generational improvement since the days of the 8800GTX.
Quite a gap in SM counts between 4090 and 4080 16GX if specs are true, but the memory bandwidth is as expected.
What's "shocking" in 450W?The only thing more shocking than the power of the 4090 will be its price. I was expecting $1500-$1800 or ballpark 3090 MSRP but now I wouldn't be surprised at $2000.
It's a pun based on the 600W max TGP. Y'know, power, shocking, electricity.What's "shocking" in 450W?
The decision to put AD104 into a 4080 imply that it will cost considerably more than you'd expect from a x70 product.
Yeah, looking it such lineup I'm expecting these to land at 700/1000/who-knows-where.I'm not a fan at all of them having 2 different spec GPU's with the same name. And yes, I'm very concerned at how these are going to be priced. I had my heart set on a 4080 (the real one) and I can see myself getting priced out of that.
They did but that's a whole different level. The 1060 6GB a few years down the line ended up performing 10-15% better than the 3GB variant. This seems like a 20%+ difference out of the gate.They did the same with the GTX1060 - same chip but different configuration besides the memory. I guess they think that a 70 card at $700 doesnt look very good...
I don't think they'd rename 4070 into a 4080 12GB if they were capable of launching it at $600.Otherwise, I can imagine they'll price the 12GB "4080" at $600. The actual 4080 16GB at $700+, and the 4080 Ti $1,000+ like they did with Ampere.
Would be a much better choice of naming honestly.It will be called 4070Ti.
