After criticism over the name and price of its 12GB RTX 4080 graphics card, Nvidia halted its introduction last month. Now, a well-known leaker claims that the “unlaunched” GPU will be reintroduced as the RTX 4070 Ti in January, as Nvidia strives to correct the confusion caused by two RTX 4080 cards with vastly different specifications.
Twitter user kopite7kimi claims that “the original RTX 4080 12GB will become RTX 4070 Ti instead,” and gives a thumbs up when asked about a January 2023 delivery date. Kopite7kimi already forecasted the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 characteristics, as well as the RTX 4090’s power requirement of 450 watts.
