It’s been a few days since the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 was released, but the demand for the company’s new graphics card turned out to be minimal. This is reported by the Wccftech portal.

According to available data, the flagship RTX 4090 graphics card was released in a group of 100,000 devices, which almost instantly sold out. The more affordable model, the RTX 4080, was launched in 30,000 units and sellers still have large stocks of the new product.

The main reason for the lack of demand for the RTX 4080 is its cost – the video card went on sale at a price of $ 1.2 thousand. According to journalists, users expect a cheaper model or immediately buy it instead of choosing a new flagship RTX 4090.

Yes, most Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 graphics cards are comparable in price to the RTX 4090 Founders Edition models. For example, the Asus RTX 4080 ROG Srix and TUF Gaming graphics cards cost $1,500 and $1,550 respectively. Considering that the RTX 4090 is 30-40% more efficient than the RTX 4080, users are ready to pay extra for the older model.

Also, the rapid release of AMD Radeon models of the RX7900 series, which are $300 cheaper than Nvidia solutions, is discouraging users from purchasing a GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card.
