Now that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Tremendous is official following Nvidia’s huge CES 2024 announcement, all eyes are on the tip of January 2024 as Nvidia releases what could also be its remaining graphics card of the Nvidia Lovelace era.

With the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Tremendous and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous launching forward of it, that is Nvidia’s final likelihood to essentially redeem the Nvidia RTX 4080, which by rights ought to have been a significant contender for the very best graphics card of 2024 had been it not for its horrible pricing at launch.

Nonetheless, as probably the greatest 4K graphics playing cards in the marketplace, the RTX 4080 has so much going for it specs smart, and contemplating that the RTX 4080 Tremendous is about to have even higher specs at a a lot better value, the RTX 4080 Tremendous is properly positioned to be one thing of a comeback story for Group Inexperienced because it closes out the Lovelace era. We’ll must see as soon as the evaluations are in, however there is no hurt in speculating recklessly about what we count on to see from this would possibly GPU on the finish of January.

Nvidia RTX 4080 Tremendous: Lower to the chase

• What’s it? Nvidia’s subsequent (and probably final) premium-tier graphics card of this era
• When will or not it’s obtainable? It can launch on January 31, 2024
• What’s going to it value? US MSRP beginning at $999 (about £800/AU$1,400)

Nvidia RTX 4080 Tremendous: Launch date

The Nvidia RTX 4080 Tremendous launches on January 31, 2024, following up the Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous the week prior.

Additionally it is more likely to be the final Nvidia graphics card launch for the remainder of 2024, except Nvidia Blackwell and the Nvidia 5000-series makes an look in the direction of the tip of the yr. We’ll definitely be keeping track of any developments in that route, however so far as Nvidia Lovelace is anxious, that is virtually definitely the final hurrah.

Nvidia RTX 4080 Tremendous: Worth

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Tremendous may have a US MSRP of $999.99 (about £800/AU$1,400), which is $200 lower than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 that this card supercedes, and eventually fixes the most important downside we had with the RTX 4080. Given its value, it is extremely arduous to advocate the RTX 4080 as is, not with the RTX 4090 so shut in value with considerably higher efficiency.

The RTX 4080 Tremendous can also be going to be squaring off in opposition to Group Crimson’s flagship GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX on the similar value level, so watching these two playing cards battle it out goes to be a variety of enjoyable.

Additionally, provided that the RTX 4080 Tremendous may have a Founders Version, this could assist hold the worth of third-party playing cards a lot nearer to MSRP than they’d in any other case be, one thing that ought to assist gross sales of the 4080 Tremendous after the lackluster efficiency of the RTX 4080.

Nvidia RTX 4080 Tremendous: Specs & efficiency

Thankfully, we all know so much in regards to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Tremendous due to Nvidia’s CES announcement. Whereas we have no official CUDA core counts, we do know that the 4080 Tremendous will include extra compute models unlocked, probably as many as 80, giving a CUDA core depend of 10240, making it second solely to the RTX 4090 by way of uncooked energy. This may also give it 80 ray tracing cores and 320 tensor cores for even higher efficiency. 

Nvidia additionally says that the GDDR6X reminiscence within the RTX 4080 Tremendous would be the quickest client graphics reminiscence on the planet, operating at 23 Gbps, so this card will completely be capable to chew by 4K gaming with ease. We additionally know that the RTX 4080 Tremendous may have 736 GB/s of reminiscence bandwidth, together with 64GB L2 cache. We do not know if it would have an expanded reminiscence bus, however 256-bit appears doubtless based mostly on every part else we all know.

The cardboard may also have the identical 320W TGP as its predecessor, so some vitality financial savings appear to have been made someplace alongside the way in which.

With out benchmarking it ourselves, we will not say a lot about potential efficiency, however given the specs and the in any other case very robust efficiency of the RTX 4080, we count on the RTX 4080 Tremendous to get players a lot nearer to RTX 4090 ranges of efficiency, making it a really robust contender for the last word gaming fanatic GPU when it launches on the finish of the month.
