5 must-know GeForce RTX 4080 details: Overpriced by $500

Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition hits stores recently, lightning-fast performance and a massive new price tag in tow. While last generation’s awesome RTX 3080 (fave.co/38NTnOi) cost $700 at launch, delivering a monumental 60 to 80 percent performance uplift over its predecessor, this new model is releasing with a staggering $1,200 price tag. Yes, that’s right: a $500 (or 71 percent) increase over the cost of its predecessor. For roughly 30 percent more performance.

Sheesh.

We’ve been putting the GeForce RTX 4080 through its paces. While Nvidia’s new GPU is astonishingly fast, blowing past last gen’s RTX 3090 with ease while drawing much less power, that new price tag casts a long shadow over its release, to such an extent that we can’t even come close to recommending this card at this aggressively insulting price—unless, perhaps, if you’re using it for content creation below 8K resolution (fave.co/3BHPSEG). Look for our comprehensive RTX 4080 gaming performance review to land in the coming days. Today, here’s a high-level look at what you need to know before dropping $1,200 (or, ideally, not) on one of these beasts.
