Nvidia planned to charge $899 for the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB. It'll be interesting to see whether the chipmaker will adjust the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti pricing

Nvidia is just bluffing with these prices. Their stock is down over 54%, the second-hand market is flooded with crypto GPU, their GPU cables are catching fire and they are under US export restrictions in China.

Nvidia is under pressure and will be forced to lower these prices.

Nvidia’s selling a nerfed GPU in China to get around export restrictions

The government limited how it could sell its top-tier chips meant for AI research, so Nvidia made a version that it says can be sold without the need for additional clearance

Nvidia has released a cut-down version of its high-end A100 GPU as a way to get around restrictions the US government recently imposed to limit how companies can sell AI training equipment to countries like China and Russia.

The card, known as the A800, should have the same massive computing capabilities as the original but can only communicate with other cards in a computing cluster at 400 gigabytes per second instead of 600GBps.

Their arrogance has been catching up with them a bit recently, hopefully its good for a bit of introspection and adjustment. Who am I kidding, its Jensen Huang, thats not going to happen. Although Nvidia has been in a similar situation twice before with the FX 5000 series and GTX 400 series, and those ended paving the way for the GTX 8000 series and GTX 600 series. Granted that was also thanks to AMD pushing hard with the Radeon 9000 and HD 5000 series, so who knows.

So they are just going to skip the 4070 or is it because the Ti models sell for just a little more recently? Desperately trying to hold onto those crypto level average selling prices. Seems everything has changed, except Nvidia.

Interesting to see how this plays out against a 7900XT which unless they adjust will be it’s competitor on pricing, but seemingly general purpose graphics superior.

Honestly with the performance difference between this and the 4080 it should be called the 4060 TI at best and a regular 4070 should have slotted into the slot between them, but Nvidia's trying to play it fast and loose with pricing and hoping it doesn't bite them in the butt. We'll see how the RX 7900's do, but it wouldn't surprise me if they don't mess with the pricing much, there are still far too many people that don't care about what anyone else has to offer even if they can get a better product for the same or less. If its not team green it doesn't exist for them unfortunately.

I posted this in the 4080 12GB "Unlaunching" story thread, but why is Nvidia choking down a xx70 series GPU with a 192-bit memory bus interface? From the 670 through the 3070 Ti they have all been 256-bit, and in the case of the 570 and 470, they were 320-bit. The 192-bit interface was always relegated to the xx60 series GPUs (exception being the 3060 Ti with 256). That matters at higher resolutions and quality settings with the size of memory GPUs are stacked with these days. It makes absolutely no sense from a historic nomenclature series perspective.
