Translation: "Shit, we got caught out on our scam. Time to backpedal!"The RTX 4080 12GB is being "unlaunched"
Unlaunching The 12GB 4080
16GB GeForce RTX 4080 on track to delight gamers everywhere November 16th.www.nvidia.com
So we can probably expect the RTX 4080 12GB to return as the RTX 4070, but then I am curious as to how they end up pricing that. Surely they cant release a XX70 series card for the same £900 asking price, right?
- Narrator - "They can"
I'll let the people who can afford to have their homes burn down be the cutting-edge early adopters.
You know for all nVidia are greedy pricks and have their heads well up their own arses and still claim to be smelling roses, I find this kind of weird. Because in spite of all that, they are some of the best engineers in the business for this sort of thing and it’s exactly the sort of issue that would appear on a top ten list of concerns for producing cards more power hungry than Emperor Palpatine.
Apparently it's an Intel designed connector and AMD 7000 series will also be using it. Joy!
Somehow I doubt the AMD 7000 series are going to be this level of thirsty. Not if they have any sense
Now, apparently, the melty connectors have scared them back to multiple 8pin connectors for their high end cards. This is what happens when you miss a few days of tech news... oh yeah, the 7800XT and 7900XT basleine models were supposedly going to be around 450W.
I mean, these guys are aware that a standard wall outlet in the US can't safely deliver a continuous load of more than about 1500W, right? Do they think that gamers are going to have an electrician come and install a dedicated power line just for their computers?
Well isn’t that a coincidence, because you will likely also need 5000 number of dollars to make that happen.
I think it was Steve who said that nVidia seems to be pricing these cards as if they're a commodity instead of a luxury, and during a recession no less. I really want AMD to steal their lunch.
Jensen's had his head in that oven too long.
