The fact that the RTX 4080 16 GB was 30% faster than the NVIDIA RTX 4080 12 GB is not a fact that many users appreciated. Really nothing more NVIDIA having revealed this, most of the users began to complain about the reason why NVIDIA decided to release a video card with such characteristics.
And the fact of the matter is that the main problem is that there were two video cards with the same name and with such monstrous differences in performance. But it seems that this was part of NVIDIA’s plans. It’s over now as NVIDIA RTX 4080 won’t be a reality.

NVIDIA itself decided to issue a statement offering a brief explanation of the reason why RTX 4080 with 12 GB will not become a reality. Among the reasons why this video card won’t become a reality, they suggest the fact that having two video cards with the same name is confusing.
They are not going to change the name of another model, they directly chose not to release this card on November 16, as it was originally agreed. Without running this video card, on the marked date you will only be able to see new RTX 4080 in 16GB version, which will be the only one to hit the market.
