NVIDIA rarely released the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB and then immediately canceled it. It was not even launched on the market. Many people must be very interested in the performance of this graphics card. Although the official has provided relevant running score data, it is official after all. Whether this is actually the case will not be known until actual testing. Recently, someone on a Chinese forum leaked the 3DMark measured data of RTX 4080 12 GB. Unexpectedly, the score was lower than that of RTX 3090 Ti. It is no wonder that it was cancelled. This naming is not right.

Performance benchmarks of the suspected canceled RTX 4080 12 GB are leaked, and the 3DMark score is lower than the RTX 3090 Ti
Recently inChina Chiphell ForumIn , a panzerlied user shared the actual measurement of the canceled RTX 4080 12GB graphics card, including AIDA64, 3DMARK and TechPowerUp.
Many people may be curious, why will anyone get the RTX 4080 12GB graphics card even though it has been cancelled? It is likely that because the announcement and cancellation were so close, NVIDIA partners must have received the Ada AD104 GPU long ago to produce and ship to retailers, so this is the case.
Although the name of the running score screenshot shared by panzerlied has been changed, judging from the clock speed of 2610MHz, 60 computing units, and providing 40 TFLOP and FPS32, it should be the RTX 4080 12GB, which is the same as what NVIDIA officially said:

In addition, he seems to have overclocked the clock to 2820MHz and the power consumption to 261.7W:

In the 3DMARK part, the NVIDIA GeFore RTX 4080 12GB graphics card scored 5382 points in Speed Way mode:

Earned 9433 points in Time Spy Extreme:

Fire Strike Ultra scored 13511 points, while Battlefield V has an estimated game performance of over 185+ FPS at 1440p Ultra settings:

Many people may not know what level it is just by looking at the scores. Foreign media VideoCarz has compiled three tables below. The first is the Speedway mode. You can see that the RTX 4080 12GB is not only behind the RTX 3090 Ti, but also slightly behind the RTX 3090:

Time Spy Extreme is better, almost the same as RTX 3090 Ti:

But Fire Strike Ultra lags behind RTX 3090 Ti:

Normally, the RTX 4080 should be better than the RTX 3090 Ti. No wonder NVIDIA decided to cancel this one. In terms of performance, it should be around the RTX 4060 Ti or RTX 4070.
A zhgbbs netizen left a message below: “Isn’t this score almost the same as my 3080 10G? Even calling it 4070 is bad.” Super Viper:

It’s really good that NVIDIA decided this way. Otherwise, when someone buys it and takes it home, they will be scolded. Even if the RTX 4070 is faster than this one after it goes on the market, it will be extremely embarrassing.
