According to sources, Nvidia is considering discontinuing the RTX 4080 graphics card and replacing it with a Super series product. This comes after reports last week that Nvidia is preparing three GeForce RTX 40 SUPER products: the RTX 4080 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 4070 SUPER.
The new RTX 4080 SUPER is rumored to have improved specifications over the existing RTX 4080. According to Benchlife, the new version of the RTX 4080 will use 20GB of GDDR6X video memory, up from the 16GB of GDDR6X memory used in the current RTX 4080. The new RTX 4080 SUPER is also rumored to have a bit width of 320-bit, up from the 256-bit bit width of the current RTX 4080.
If the RTX 4080 is indeed discontinued, it is likely that the price of the existing RTX 4080 will increase, as stocks dwindle. Some dealers may have already chosen to advance the shipment of RTX 4080 graphics cards in anticipation of the discontinuation.
It is important to note that this is just a rumor at this point, and Nvidia has not yet made an official announcement. However, the rumors are coming from multiple sources, and it seems likely that there is some truth to them.
