Nvidia RTX 4080 Leak, Launch Date Might Delay!

We now know almost everything about the RTX 4070, RTX 4080 Leak, and RTX 4090 thanks to our usual tipster kimi. The GeForce RTX 4090 will use the AD102-300-A1 die with 16,384 cores and 24GB of GDDR6X memory running at 21Gbps over a 384-bit bus, with a base clock of 2,235MHz and a boost clock of 2,520MHz and an effective in-game clock of 2,750MHz, according to the source.

Nvidia RTX 4080 Leak

After the crypto bubble burst and both GPU and CPU shortages are coming to an end, getting an RTX 4080 graphics card may not be so difficult in the future, although Nvidia may be sorry now that it’s stuck with copious amounts of RTX 4000 chips. RTX 4090 is Nvidia’s next-generation graphics card. In order to help thin the waters of the speculation sea, we’ve gathered everything we know so far about its release date, possible price, possible specs, and benchmarking potential.

RTX 4080 Price

The Nvidia RTX 4000 GPU lineup could see its MSRP drift away from established trends. That being said, if pricing remains at the MSRP, the RTX 4080 leak could be priced at $699 USD, similar to Nvidia’s RTX 3080 at launch.

As a result, Nvidia has held off on releasing more details on the price of the Nvidia RTX 4080 until now. Nvidia typically keeps pricing pretty close to the same from generation to generation, with the Nvidia RTX 3080 priced at £649/$699 at launch.

Obviously, a price hike is not ruled out, since GPU silicon has been in short supply in the last couple of years. This is a result of supply chain problems caused by the pandemic.

The RTX 4080 Leak is based on Nvidia’s new Ada Lovelace architecture, and the two graphics cards share the same AD102 GPU. According to harukaze5719, the chip is 71% faster than the RTX 3000 series. Nvidia’s high-end graphics card also comes with a new 12-pin PCIe Gen 5 power connector that can handle 600W of power from PSUs on one cable, according to recently released insider information from Kopite7kimi.

If you plan to replace your current GPU, you’ll need either to upgrade your power supply or buy an adapter that converts 6+2 configurations. The Nvidia RTX 4090 is expected to have a 600W TDP, which is a significant increase from the previous generation. If true, there’s a good chance we could also see a similar increase in power consumption for the RTX 4080, which will be an issue for many people upgrading an existing PC.

Based on our tests, the RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 Ti are still absolute power hogs. If the 4080 is even more demanding, most buyers of 20 series or older cards will absolutely need a new PSU.

Nvidia RTX 4080 Leak, Benchmark Rumours

The Nvidia RTX 4000 series’ true abilities remain largely under wraps, but leaks help give us a better idea of what to expect from RTX 4080 benchmarks. Moore’s Law is Dead sources suggest the AD102 GPU offers a 60-80% performance improvement, which should help us increase frame rates at higher resolutions.

In terms of performance, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is expected to score 15,000 points in the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark, a figure that the leaker previously said was a conservative figure, so one can expect a 35% performance boost over the RTX 3090 Ti in this particular benchmark.
