There is information coming out of China that Nvidia will face this quarter lower deliveries new generation graphics cards. Supposedly, we could also finally wait price reduction of the GeForce RTX 4080 model, which arrived on the market with a relatively inflated price tag.
Sources believe that fewer RTX 4090, RTX 4080, and RTX 4070 Ti graphics cards will be shipped than may be needed. Unfortunately, they did not give specific reasons. But the question is whether the reduction in deliveries will really have any impact on us, the customers. The green team has already succeeded in producing a large number of graphics chips and supplying them to its partners.

The main focus was the graphics RTX 4090which is intended for the most demanding gamers and content creators – the number of GPUs delivered to partners for the production of this model exceeded the 100,000 mark less than a month after its launch. Significantly fewer chips were made for the lower RTX 4080 modelwhich in the final was still struggling with poor demand and those interested in new graphics did not want it because of the poor price:performance ratio. January’s RTX 4070 Ti thus became a far more popular card and Chinese sources about her they speak of it as a scarce commodity.
So a price cut for the RTX 4080 would definitely be welcome. Speculations that Nvidia would take this step appeared already in December of last year, in connection with the launch of competing graphics cards Radeon RX 7900 XT a XTX. It was the second piece mentioned that aimed to compete with the RTX 4080, which it even succeeds in some disciplines. In the United States at the same time it carries a $200 lower price tagwhich is certainly not an insignificant amount.
