It is also the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series, but the fate of the RTX 4080 graphics card is very different from other cards. It is priced too high. As a result, even if the performance is good, the CP value is too low compared to competitors or the previous generation graphics card, and thus it does not sell very well. There is inventory available almost everywhere, unlike the RTX 4090, which was quickly wiped out when it was launched. With the launch of the RTX 4070 Ti a few days ago, MSI secretly published an official post on Twitter, agreeing that the CP value of the RTX 4080 is too low and saying that the RTX 4070 Ti is more worth buying.
Even MSI agrees with the low CP value of the RTX 4080 and believes that the RTX 4070 Ti is more worth buying.
At the CES 2023 event, after NVIDIA announced the launch of the RTX 4070 Ti, MSI Gaming USA told players on its official Twitter that the RTX 4070 Ti is now available in the online store and attached a purchase link. However, the interesting thing is that MSI USA not only said that the RTX 4070 Ti is on sale, but also agreed that the RTX 4080 is too expensive, CP It’s not worth saying that although this post has been deleted, foreign media VideoCardz has backed it up. The complete content is as follows:
Like a towering pillar, the @NVIDIAGeForce 4070 Ti is now on sale at our MSI store! Experience the POWER of the Ada Lovelace architecture, at a cost of “not as bad as a 4080”!

The point is the last one, “The price is not as bad as the RTX 4080”. Therefore, not only players, but also partners also believe that RTX 4070 Ti is more worth buying than RTX 4080. The current price of RTX 4080 is not a good choice.
It’s funny to say that the RTX 4070 Ti was formerly known as the RTX 4080 12GB. At that time, it seemed that the performance was too different from the RTX 4080 16GB, so it was canceled for fear of poor sales, so it was renamed the RTX 4070 Ti. Unexpectedly, in the end, the RTX 4080 16GB was left and sold poorly, while the RTX 4070 Ti seemed to be okay.
Last month, some scalpers came out to make fun of themselves., I originally wanted to make a lot of money with RTX 4080, but I didn’t expect that it would be very difficult to sell in the end, and it might turn into a huge loss:
Many people may not know how low the CP value of RTX 4080 is. Previously, a YouTuber shared a group Radeon RX 6900XT PC(A whole unit), it’s cheaper than an RTX 4080 graphics card:
However, even since its launch, major media and YouTubers have said that the price of the RTX 4080 is too high, but it seems that NVIDIA has not yet planned to adjust the price of this card. With the debut of the RTX 4070 Ti, the RTX 4080 must have become more difficult to sell, because players with that kind of budget will definitely want to spend a little more and directly buy the RTX 4090:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti has been officially launched on January 5, 2023. The recommended price is US$799, and the price in Taiwan starts at 28,990 yuan.
