NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, 4080 16GB, & 4080 12GB Specs, Price, Release Date
799,710
Published 2022-09-20
NVIDIA just announced the new GeForce RTX 4090, RTX 4080 16GB, and RTX 4080 12GB. The new cards use the Ada Lovelace GPU architecture and are priced at $900 for the 4080 12GB, $1200 for the RTX 4080 16GB, and $1600 for the RTX 4090 24GB cards. In this video, we also talk about the specs -- like CUDA core count, RT (ray tracing) performance expectations, power utilization and consumption targets, and memory bandwidth. NVIDIA additionally announced DLSS 3, which is a major step revision over DLSS 2 and could have wider-reaching implications outside of just the GPU space (and could impact CPU bottlenecked scenarios as well). We also briefly talk about some of the architectural changes, but we’ll leave most of those until after NVIDIA’s architectural briefing with the press.

The 12 GB variant is literally what the 4070 should be. But they're instead asking for an 80-tier price.
-
I just hope RDNA3 is competitive and better priced. That 4070 disguised as a "4080 12GB" and its price is just ridiculous at this point. Sketchy move, that.
-
$200 GPUs are such a distant memory. I don't think any of our grand kids would believe us if we told them that used to be a very normal thing lmao
-
That memory bandwidth has been proven to show bottlenecks in older graphics cards, I can only imagine how bad it's going to be on this one.
-
The pricing on the 80 cards is blatantly just mugging off pc gamers now. Forcing people to either step up to the big margin 4090, or help clear their 30xx cards of which they’ve got too many. In the UK the 12GB 4080 is just shy of a thousand pounds. For a 192 bit card. Insane. And the ‘real’ FE 4080 is essentially DOUBLE the price of the FE 3080. In one generation it’s gone from £650 to £1269!! How can anyone defend that kind of price increase.
-
I can't help but feel the insane pricing is their method of trying to sell the large overstock of 30 series cards without having to drop the old card's prices that much.
-
I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing!Very inspiring! I love this.
-
With the end of crypto mining, I feel that this pricing model is an example of how companies take a while to adjust to the market. These cards would have sold at these prices earlier this year, but now since you can't mine Etherium anymore, the miners won't buy these cards and gamers are notoriously fiscal so I see this generation being similar to the old days of the 90 series and earlier where every card sold under MSRP by a few hundred dollars.
-
Petition for the 4080 12gb to be called the 4070
-
At launch MSRP: 1080: $599 2080: $699 3080: $699 4080: $1199 (the real one, the lower VRAM one isn't actually a 4080)
-
Great video as always! Also side note, is the pictures/websites shown supposed to be in 480/720p? It’s significantly lower quality than the rest of the footage.
-
I was gonna get a 3060 but price circumstances changed . I’ll stick with my 1080 and hope AMD finally compete properly
-
Disappointed they took a 104 die with a 192 bit bus and Called it a 4080 12gb at 900 dollars. It would of been a 70 class card every other generation.
-
3080 was 699€ in Spain, now the (real) 4080 16GB is 1469€, more than double the price, it's insane.
-
It is weird to see undervolting more valued than overclocking now. RTX 4000 series uses a lot of power
-
Having seen the price I knew the first place to stop for information was Gamers Nexus. Thank to the whole team for the hard work in delivering not just videos but knowledge.
-
Imagine selling the 4070 as a 4080 for more moneys? NVidia wouldn't do that!!!
-
Nvidia intentionally changes the hierarchy of their cards names with every launch to confuse people. The names no longer mean anything.
-
12:17 I'm really glad you brought up the issue of endless security vulnerabilities as a result of out-of-order/speculative execution. I don't see this ending well, at least for clients in the enterprise compute/AI cloud. Many in the tech world have short memories, but not you guys. Fantastic analysis as always!
