NVIDIA 4000 Series

Whatever the spec is, they can just call it a RTX 4080 TI. Even if it's only 30% higher performing on average than the RTX 3080 (aside from the ray tracing performance).

Will they even bother with a RTX 4080 at launch? If they call it a RTX 4080 TI they can charge £1000 or more for the Founders Edition, alongside a RTX 4070 and 4090 launch. Then maybe just release a RTX 4080 6 months later.

With so many eager buyers, I can't see why they wouldn't do this.

My understanding is when these are made some cores are faulty and can’t make a full fat chip so they end up disabling the damaged parts and making a cut down variant. There is also the marketing side of things. Trust me, they have all the data to make decisions to maximise profits, you don’t need to worry about that.
 
I'm not worried lol. It just seems to me that people will buy whatever they release on launch, regardless if it's called a RTX 4080 or RTX 4080 TI.

We know how fond Nvidia is of market segmentation, with all the base models, TIs and Supers launching at different times to maximise profit.

MLID so far thinks the high end nvidia cards come first (could be 4090 then 4080) with AMD bringing mid-tier as their first (Navi 33).
 
Well yeah... RTX 4080 TI and RTX 4090 and maybe RTX 4090 TI. All high end or flagship products..

Look how much people were willing to pay for the RTX 2080 TI, £1100 for the reference model.

Point is they know what they are doing. Let’s not do a 4K8K and act like we know what’s better ;)

Apparently Lovelace has been cancelled. Nvidia 4000 will now be based on Hopper

NVIDIA might launch Hopper GPU instead of Ada Lovelace to beat RDNA 3

NVIDIA could skip the Ada Lovelace GPU architecture for Hopper, to better fight AMD's next-gen RDNA 3 architecture coming soon.

Fascinating, but one does not change architecture overnight - so if we're only hearing about this now, RTX4000 would have been changed already months ago and leakers somehow didnt know?

If true then the performance gains could be higher than expected; Nvidia is really worried about AMD.
