Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 12GB model is about to launch again as RTX 4070 Ti
Nvidia paused the launch of its 12GB RTX 4080 graphics card last month, following backlash over the naming and pricing. However, it seems that the recently launched GPU from the US technology company may return with some other models. According to details shared by a well-known leaker, the “unreleased” GPU will return to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti moniker in January, as Nvidia tries to fix the confusing naming around the two. RTX 4080 cards have different specs.
Popular hack kopite7kimi (Twitter: @kopite7kimi) has leaked details about the purported return of the Nvidia RTX 4070 12GB GPU. They said, “the original 12GB RTX 4080 will become the RTX 4070 Ti”, and answered the question regarding the January 2023 release date with a like icon.
Instead, the original 12GB RTX 4080 will become the RTX 4070 Ti.

The tipper has previously predicted the specifications of the Nvidia RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 GPUs and the RTX 4090 GPU will require 450 watts of power, according to a report. report by The Verge.
It would make sense to see the RTX 4080 12GB return as the RTX 4070 Ti because the 16GB model is very different from the 12GB model. Nvidia has received harsh criticism for labeling the 12GB model as the RTX 4080, which is said to start at $899 and include 7,680 CUDA cores, a 2.31GHz base clock boosted to 2. 61 GHz, 639 Tensor-TFLOPs, 92 RT-TFLOPs and 40 Shader-TFLOPs.
On the other hand, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 16GB is much more powerful, with 9,728 CUDA Cores, 2.21GHz base clock ramping up to 2.51GHz, 780 Tensor-TFLOPs, 113 RT-TFLOPs and 49 Shader-TFLOPs among the powerhouses. .
Back in September, Nvidia disclosure the first two GPUs in the long-awaited GeForce RTX 40 series: GeForce RTX 4090 and GeForce RTX 4080. The new GPUs are based on the new ‘Ada Lovelace’ architecture. Nvidia promised 4x the performance of the previous ‘Ampere’ architecture, along with improved power efficiency.
The company also announced its new DLSS3 image upscaling technology, which is said to be able to generate entire frames independent of the PC’s CPU. Nvidia says its third-generation ray tracing cores and fourth-generation Tensor cores dramatically accelerate ray tracing and floating-point acceleration, enabling the “age of neural rendering.”
