They have also created confusion (intentional or not, who knows) with the RTX 4080 12GB and RTX 4080 16GB having significant differences other than just the memory size. Some conjecture I've read around the internet is that it was the product the RTX 4070 should have been but was given the 4080 designation due to it's price bracket being significantly higher than previous x070 cards.

- jesuscript 4y agoI just want to add that they use the same numbering scheme on the laptop versions of the RTX cards which is just awful. Some of the laptop RTX cards are really equivalents to prior generation desktop cards, but it is not indicated on any level because a desktop RTX 20xxx is named the same as the laptop 20xxx. They stopped giving a shit. They want you to upgrade to the next series ala Apple.
- chickenimprint 4y agoIn what world is that not fraud? Imagine if Ford were to advertise a new F150 for an (apparently) good price and then offer two models: "F150 V8": an expensive truck with a V8 motor. "F150 V6" a cheaper V6 sedan. Clearly, these are two different products, even though they can do the same thing. You're sneakily using a known naming convention in your official product name to deceive customers on the price perception of the 4080 and the performance of the 4080 12GB.

- namlem 4y agoFord literally released a crossover SUV and called it the "Mustang Mach-E" despite having nothing whatsoever to do with previous Mustangs.
