Outputs: 1 x HDMI 2.1, 3 x DisplayPort 1.4a It's a spectacular card and right now you can probably get it for ridiculously cheap. Hell, if you're looking for the best bang for your buck, go with the RTX 3080. Even at $999, it would have easily gotten four if not four-and-a-half stars. In short, if this card were $799, it would be Best-in-Class material. Some might even sell for roughly the same price as the RTX 4090 Founders Edition, which is still leagues ahead (performance-wise) of any RTX 4080 on the market. The situation becomes even more gobsmacking when you consider that a lot of third-party cards are just going to increase the price over the RTX 4080 Founders Edition that we reviewed. Its performance per dollar is actually quite good, and in a world where the RTX 4090 wasn't so close in price, we'd tell you to buy it. The pricing on this card in particular makes very little sense and weighs heavily against it, which is a shame. If you're already paying this much money for a graphics card, why the hell should you settle for second best? Instead we have a graphics card that is well into premium market pricing, in which case you might as well spend another month or two mowing lawns, shoveling snow, writing freelance articles, or pulling a few overtime shifts and shell out for the RTX 4090. There's been some talk that this card is r eally the Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti, but it could equally be said to be the true RTX 4080, since at least its pricing would be closer to appropriate in that case. Should this be the RTX 4080 Ti? Initially, before Nvidia pulled the launch, there was an Nvidia RTX 4080 12GB variant that was set to sell for $899. In fact, it is the same MSRP as the Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti, which is downright madening. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 is available as of November 16, 2022, with an MSRP of $1,199 (about £1,080, AU$1,740), which is a 71% increase over the MSRP of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 it replaces. Where can you get it? Available in the US, UK, and Australia.When is it out? It is available November 16, 2022.Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080: Price & availability If you're going to pay this much for a premium graphics card, just get the RTX 4090.
Plus, there'd be enough of a distance between the RTX 4080 and the RTX 4090 that we'd have no business comparing the two.īut at such a narrow gap between the price tags between the two cards, you are simply overpaying for the RTX 4080, and you shouldn't buy it if you can help it. What would have made more sense was for Nvidia to "cancel" this card and release it six months from now as the RTX 4080 Ti or Super while giving us the RTX 4080 12GB instead at its $899 (around £800 / AU$1,200) MSRP.Īt least in that case, all things being the same, we'd be complaining about the $200 increase in price over the RTX 3080, but with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX coming in at $999 (around £850 / AU$1,500), Nvidia could make an argument in its favor, one that it might have won. If you absolutely cannot afford to pay the extra cash for an RTX 4090 under any circumstances, then the RTX 4080 makes sense as a purchase.
