Nvidia’s choice to identify the 12GB model as an RTX 4080 sparked outrage, especially given how different the 16GB model was. The RTX 4080 12GB was intended to start at $899 and have 7,680 CUDA Cores, a base frequency of 2.31GHz that can be increased to 2.61GHz, 639 Tensor-TFLOPs, 92 RT-TFLOPs, and 40 Shader-TFLOPs. The 16GB RTX 4080 has 9,728 CUDA Cores, a base rate of 2.21GHz that can be increased to 2.51GHz, 780 Tensor-TFLOPs, 113 RT-TFLOPs, and 49 Shader-TFLOPs of power.
