Abgebrochene NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 12GB Rebadged als RTX 4070 Du, Gebunden für Januar?

NVIDIA had originally planned to launch the GeForce RTX 4080 16 GB, and the now-cancelled RTX 4080 12 GB in mid-November, but facing strong backlash from the press and social-media over the confusion the “RTX 4080 12 GB” branding would cause due to a vastly different hardware specification to that of the RTX 4080 16 GB (limited not only to the memory size); the company cancelled the launch of the RTX 4080 12 GB. We’re hearing that with NVIDIA’s board partners already having manufactured a large inventory of RTX 4080 12 GB cards, something had to be done. The partners could be undertaking a rebranding exercise, and the new brand is “GeForce RTX 4070 Ti.”
