As mentioned in the previous reportThis time, although the performance of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card has indeed improved a lot compared with the previous generation, the price is too high, which also leads to the low CP value of this card. I don’t know if it’s because everyone has read the reviews before buying, or because of other reasons. According to foreign media reports, almost no one buys NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 graphics cards in the United States. Every store can see the inventory, which is exactly the same as when the RTX 4090 was launched. different.
The CP value of NVIDIA RTX 4080 is so low that almost no one buys it abroad, and it is available everywhere
When NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 was lifted, almost every media concluded that the price of this graphics card was too high. For comparison, the suggested price of RTX 3080 was NT$21,900 when it was first launched, and the price of RTX 4090 was increased to NT$42,000, which is almost double the difference. , so unless the efficiency is also almost doubled, otherwise the increase is too large, and this time is also the largest increase in history. The actual measurement shows that the performance improvement of RTX 4080 is not as large as expected.
Foreign media Wccftech also thinks so. They mentioned that the suggested price of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is $699, and GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB is $899. Compared with $1199 for 4080, there are 71.5% and 50% increases, This also led to not many people wanting to buy this graphics card.
A Hassan Mujtaba shared on Twitter the sales of NVIDIA 4090 and 4080 when they went on sale. RTX 4090 shipped up to 130,000 copies, while RTX 4080 only sold 30,000 copies, which means a total of 160,000 copies. RTX 4090 obviously sold much better :
NVIDIA 4080 shipment units:
????30,000
NVIDIA 4090 shipment units:

This room is also full of RTX 4080s on the shelves, and it can be seen that the store has made a lot of goods during the sale (I thought it would be as popular as RTX 4090):
Online shopping is no exception, almost every brand and model of RTX 4080 is available:
In addition to the high price of RTX 4080, AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, which will go on sale in mid-December, should also be one of the reasons why players do not want to buy it. The opponent of this card is RTX 4080, but the price is only 999 US dollars, which is 200 US dollars cheaper.
Looking at it this way, the price of the RTX 4080 is likely to drop after a while. For those who are too late and want to buy this card, it is recommended to take it slow first, or wait for AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and AMD Radeon RX 7900 to go on sale. Report to decide.
In addition, the performance of RTX 4090 is about 30~40% higher than that of RTX 4080. The recommended price is 1,599 US dollars. You can get so much extra performance by paying 400 US dollars more. I believe most players will choose RTX 4090.
