Better be careful there, the article is quoting someone you hate, if I recollect properly.NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 isn't a Rebadged RTX 4080 12GB, To Be Cut Down
It turns out that NVIDIA didn't just cancel (unlaunch) the GeForce RTX 4080 12 GB last week, but also shelved the SKU until it is needed in the product stack. This is probably because NVIDIA intended to sell it at $900, and will find it difficult to justify a xx70-class SKU at this price-point...www.techpowerup.com
So much for a "rename" and "price drop".
Guess the grand idea is to plug that range with the remainder of GA102 SKUs for the time being.
Will be "fun" if the lineup will end up being AD104-GA102-AD103-AD102.

You wish, that's a step up from this RTX 4080 6GBYou mean RTX4080 8GB?
Plot twist: it was just disabled via bios, and when you cross flash it with rtx 4080 12GB bios, it became rtx 4080 12GBAccording to that it will still be the same AD104 chip, with same memory amount and just with disabled SMs / lower clock speeds.

its basically a paper launch hidden by its price.The 4000 series prices in Europe are so sickening that I bought a used 3090 for 850 euros.
Not a series yet. So far there is a single SKU with a suicidal connector.The 4000 series prices in Europe are so sickening that I bought a used 3090 for 850 euros.
That's much better value than any of the 40 series so far (assuming European prices). The 4080 goes around 2000 Euros, it's absurdly expensive.The 4000 series prices in Europe are so sickening that I bought a used 3090 for 850 euros.
