Proper up entrance we should always notice that significantly heavy use of seasoning is relevant to this leak, as whereas it does come from one of many acknowledged ranks of {hardware} leakers on Twitter (KittyYukko, previously KittyCorgi), there are definitely some query marks floating round as as to if or not it’s real.

As you might discover trying on the picture, the ‘RTX 4080’ brand is in a unique font, which has prompted some calls of fakery – however there’s a twist right here. As VideoCardz (opens in new tab), which noticed the tweet, factors out, Nvidia has just lately adopted a brand new font on its web site – and it appears to match the design within the leaked photograph.

This can be a little bit of a stretch, however on condition that change in font on the official Nvidia website, we definitely wouldn’t rule out this leak on the premise of the emblem used on the supposed RTX 4080.

Except for that, the design of the next-gen graphics card may be very a lot consistent with the present RTX 3000 vary.

Evaluation: Sticking with the tried and examined?

In reality, relating to the design, the purported RTX 4080 appears to be like rather a lot like the present RTX 3090, with the notable distinction that the fan is a good bit bigger. Is it disappointing that nothing a lot appears to have modified? Effectively, the present design has labored fairly nicely on the entire for Nvidia, so it wouldn’t be a shock to see the next-gen stick carefully to it.

This GPU additionally seems to be a twin slot affair, however it’s troublesome to inform given the near front-on angle that the photograph is taken from, and naturally the plastic packaging obscures issues considerably, too. It could possibly be wider than two slots.

After all, it bears mentioning once more that it could possibly be an entire pretend, however we’re hoping this isn’t the case. Why? As a result of if that is certainly a bona fide completed RTX 4080, meaning the GPU is prone to be able to roll quickly.

That’s an vital level as a result of – going by the grapevine – the RTX 4090 is about to be the primary next-gen Lovelace graphics card launched in October, and this provides extra weight to among the rumors which have steered the RTX 4080 will likely be subsequent out the door within the following month.

Different newer hypothesis has steered Nvidia would possibly delay the launch of the RTX 4080 (plus the 4070, and definitely the 4060) till 2023, as a consequence of some tough issues round clearing extra current-gen RTX 3000 inventory. (Bear in mind, that inventory should be shifted earlier than next-gen merchandise tempt people away from shopping for it, and Crew Inexperienced’s graphics card making companions face the prospect of being left within the lurch with a bunch of Ampere stock they’ll’t clear).

Briefly, this sighting – caveats utilized – could be taken as a touch that we would simply see the RTX 4080 in November, in spite of everything.
