NVIDIA RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Ti are EOL
NVIDIA has confirmed rumors from mid-November that two existing models will officially reach end of support.
GPU manufacturers are grappling with a key issue with the RTX 4080: lack of interest from gamers. The solution is relatively simple. The RTX 4080 is nearing the end of its life (EOL) and will make way for its successor, the RTX 4080 SUPER, which boasts increased speed and a lower price. Similarly, the 4070 Ti will be discontinued, but the price will remain the same. Nevertheless, gamers will benefit from increased cores and memory.
NVIDIA has officially declared EOL status for the RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti, indicating that the 4070 Ti has one of the shortest lifetimes in GeForce history. Although the RTX 4070 Ti basically replaced the SKU, it was renamed and the price was reduced by $100, so you could argue that NVIDIA has effectively retired its “unreleased” RTX 4080 12GB twice .

As confirmed above by Andreas Schilling (HardwareLuxx), NVIDIA has officially informed the press that both models have reached end of life (EOL). This confirms previous rumors, as slow sales of new cards and lack of supply on the market had hinted at this development.
RTX 4080 prices have remained unchanged for several weeks, and this trend is expected to continue until late January, as retailers work to clear their remaining stock of RTX 4080 cards. The RTX 4070 Ti is expected to follow a similar path, and perhaps even more so due to stiff competition from the Radeon RX 7900 series.
