Unlaunching The 12GB 4080 | GeForce News | NVIDIA

The RTX 4080 12GB is a fantastic graphics card, but it's not named right. Having two GPUs with the 4080 designation is confusing.

So, we're pressing the "unlaunch" button on the 4080 12GB. The RTX 4080 16GB is amazing and on track to delight gamers everywhere on November 16th.

If the lines around the block and enthusiasm for the 4090 is any indication, the reception for the 4080 will be awesome.

Is this an honest reason to unlaunch?

I'm sure all of the cards will get restickered as RTX 4070's in a few weeks or something.

There's a rather large difference between the two 4080 models
