Nvidia released the GeForce RTX 40 series GPU based on the Ada Lovelace architecture at the GTC 2022 "GeForce Beyond" special event at the end of September, using TSMC's customized 4nm process, coupled with new technologies such as the third-generation RTX ray tracing architecture and DLSS 3, which greatly improved performance.
The GeForce RTX 4090 equipped with AD102 was launched on October 12, 2022, becoming the first GeForce RTX 40 series product to be sold. Originally, there were two GeForce RTX 4080 models, equipped with AD103 and AD104, with corresponding video memory of 16GB and 12GB respectively. However, as Nvidia canceled the 12GB version, there is only 16GB version for the time being. The GeForce RTX 4080 is already on sale at 10 o'clock tonight. As everyone expected, the products of major brands were instantly vacant.
GeForce RTX 4080 starts at 9499 yuan, but a considerable number of non-public products are priced at more than 10,000 yuan, and the gap with GeForce RTX 4090 is not big. The most expensive style has even reached the latter's starting price. Many players believe that due to the performance gap between the two, the GeForce RTX 4080 seems too expensive. Since you can afford the GeForce RTX 4080, why not add more points to the GeForce RTX 4090 directly?
