Reply to comment by MorgrainX in NVIDIA cancels GeForce RTX 4080 12GB - VideoCardz.com by MorgrainX

They basically named them the same so people didn’t have much prestige so they want the 4090 more. The 4080 with 12GB should’ve been the mobile version if it even existed like that. The same name thing never made sense. Glad they’re cancelling it

This exactly.

There probably never was a "3080 12GB". It's likely it's always been a 3070 and Nvidia did this because they're scumbags and wanted to push people towards the 4090. It's all very coincidental that they make this decision after the launch and 2 days of buyers getting their share.

Edit:

Looks like AIBs actually have produced 4080 12GB cards as they're now deconstructing these, and I doubt they'd get in on a conspiracy with Nvidia. So Nvidia really do just like fucking everyone over.
