NVIDIA has announced that the GeForce RTX 4080 and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics cards have been officially discontinued (end-of-life). This means that they will no longer be offered for sale, and retailers will have to get rid of their remaining stock of these cards. This decision comes as no surprise – both units, especially the more powerful one, did not generate much interest. It is likely that even with a price reduction, the older models would not be preferred by gamers.
The official launch of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, 4070 Ti SUPER, and 4070 SUPER graphics cards has been announced by the manufacturer. Here is the specifications of these units:

This is official information confirmed by NVIDIA representative Andreas Schilling from HardwareLuxx. The decision to discontinue the older models was made due to low consumer interest.
FAQ:
1. What does EOL status mean?
EOL status means that the product has been discontinued and will no longer be offered for sale.
2. What is lithography?
Lithography is a technological process that defines the size of the integrated circuit structure. The smaller the lithography, the more advanced and efficient the circuit can be.
3. What does TGP mean?
TGP (Total Graphics Power) refers to the total power consumption of the graphics card during maximum workload. It indicates how much power needs to be supplied to the card for it to function correctly.
4. What is DLSS support?
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is a technology used in NVIDIA graphics cards that improves performance and image rendering quality by utilizing machine learning.
5. Where is this information sourced from?
This information is sourced from the HardwareLuxx website, where it was confirmed by Andreas Schilling regarding the NVIDIA RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Ti topic.
