Today we review the formidable GeForce RTX 4080 16GB, the second graphics card in the ADA Lovelace generation. NVIDIA's card is up to two times as fast as the RTX 3080 while keeping it in the same pricing range. The new graphics card provides greater performance at all fronts, more extensive raytracing features, and DLSS 3.0 thanks to upgraded Tensor cores.

Good card, bad price.

Gross card. Die class and memory config in my mind make this a card that should be like max $700 (top GA104 card last gen was $600 - 3070 Ti). I would levy that same assessment to the 7900 XTX given its not a 4090 competitor. 

 

I hope the market sees what both Nvidia and AMD are doing here. Make $1200 look bad, but "oh man if only we could spend $900 instead". Let's say Nvidia do drop it to $900, it will be seen as some big win, meanwhile that's still a price hike of $200 over the 80-card from last gen  and $300 from the 3070 Ti its die size and memory config more closely resembles. Meanwhile Nvidia and AMD laugh all the way to the bank.

One positive thing about this card though: I was really pleasantly surprised about the thermal performance.

Well they are using those giant oversized 4090 coolers on them aren't they? I'll have to look up some of the AIB models.
