Nvidiaĭuring its CES 2023 keynote, Nvidia also revealed the RTX 40-series mobile range, and that lineup actually includes more GPUs than the desktop range does right now. We haven’t heard much about these cards yet, but it’s safe to assume Nvidia may launch them throughout the year. The desktop GPU lineup is still missing the RTX 4060 and RTX 4050. With the RTX 4090 only $400 more expensive, the flagship is actually a better deal - so much so that the release of the RTX 4080 boosted the sales of the RTX 4090. The RTX 4080 also hadn’t managed to avoid controversy about its price. On April 13, Nvidia added the $6 to its lineup. However, the card made a reappearance at CES 2023 and was officially released on January 5, 2023, now dubbed the RTX 4070 Ti. Nvidia “unlaunched” the RTX 4080 12GB following some backlash about its price and expected performance.

While the former landed in stores on November 16 with a $1,200 price tag, the latter never made it to the market under that name. Next, Nvidia announced the RTX 4080 16GB and the RTX 4080 12GB. In the days following the launch, it was sold for over twice its retail price on eBay, and scalpers still have some luck re-selling the card to this day. Much like during the days of the dreadful GPU shortage, the RTX 4090 is usually out of stock. Literally no one wants to buy Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti The Founders Edition was priced at $1,600 from the get-go, but unsurprisingly, many of the cards made by Nvidia’s board partners cost a lot more.ĪMD might crush Nvidia with its laptop GPUs - but it’s silent on the desktop front First announced on September 20, 2022, the graphics card hit the shelves on October 12. In this generation, Nvidia started out with a bang by introducing the flagship RTX 4090. RTX 40-series: Pricing and release date Jacob Roach / Digital Trends
