Not long ago, Nvidia released the RTX 40 series graphics card, of which RTX 4080 has two models, namely the 16GB version and the 12GB version. Moreover, these two versions do not only have the difference in memory capacity, but also have great differences in the GPU core.

Not long ago, Nvidia released the RTX 40 series graphics card, among which RTX 4080 has two models, namely the 16GB version and the 12GB version. Moreover, these two versions do not only have the difference in the memory capacity, but also have great differences in the core of GPU.

The 16GB version is based on the GPU core of AD103, with 9728 CUDA cores, with a memory bit width of 256 bits, while the 12GB version is based on the GPU core of AD104, with 7680 CUDA cores, with a memory bit width of 192 bits. The performance difference between

is also quite obvious. According to the relevant results given by Nvidia, at the resolution of 3840x2160 and when DLSS is turned off, the score of the 16GB version is 1.26 times that of 12GB. When DLSS is turned on, the score of the 16GB version is 1.21 times that of 12GB. Simply put, the performance difference between the two is about 20%.

Seeing Nvidia's operation, netizens were uneasy and expressed dissatisfaction with Nvidia. Isn't the 192bit RTX 4080 graphics card a joke? Since entering the unified rendering architecture era, there has been no 192bit 80 series graphics card in the past few years. 192bit is almost the same for the 60 series. This 12GB RTX 4080 is called RTX 4060 Ti.

I don’t know if Nvidia can’t withstand the criticism of netizens. Recently, Nvidia canceled the 12GB RTX 4080, and released a message saying that RTX 4080 12GB is a very excellent graphics card, but its name is wrong. Both GPUs are called 4080 and are a bit confusing, so we pressed the Cancel key for 12GB 4080.

Regarding this news, some netizens expressed their joy, and some netizens felt that NVIDIA does not need to do such a fickle thing, because this card has been announced before, which means that the product must exist. It is just that the naming makes users dissatisfied, which may affect market marketing. Therefore, this name is not needed and will be replaced with other names in the future.

Some netizens also doubted whether Nvidia learned about the new AMD product and found that the existence of the 12GB RTX 4080 will affect the competition between later and AMD products. Therefore, this card has been rescheduled, and the core may be used in the future, but the operation of video memory bandwidth is given to 256bit will be launched again.

Personally, I think that the card is still the same card. If the name is changed and the price has not been adjusted, this operation is indeed meaningless to the actual interests of consumers. If not only the name has changed, but the price has also been adjusted accordingly, that is what users hope to have more.

Some netizens also said that Nvidia can make changes this time, the key is GG in the mining card market, and the general consumer market needs to top it, so the voices of netizens seem to be more positive. For consumers, it doesn’t matter what the name of the graphics card is. The key is to look at the performance and price. If the 12GB RTX 4080 is directly discounted, it doesn’t matter if it is called RTX 4090.
