NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4080 graphics cards don't launch until the 16th of November but US & UK retailers have started listing down custom models.

Currently, there are two retailers that are listing the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 16 GB cards. These include Newegg (US) and LaptopsDirect (UK). Both retailers have listed down the 16 GB variant as we know that the RTX 4080 12 GB variant had been "unlaunched" just a few weeks back. So that's going to make it easy for consumers to distinguish the card rather than trying to differentiate the two similarly named cards with a huge disparity in performance.

Still too much $$ in my opinion.  Top tier shouldn't even be $1200.  These insanely high prices are very recent.  I remember buying HD7970 for $549 on release, and that wasn't that terribly long ago. -_-

You absolutely CANNOT convince me that prices couldn't come down if the tech companies weren't getting away with it.
