NVIDIA Cancels the RTX 4080 12GB After Backlash

Wow. There was so much push back on the 4080 12GB, whose actual hardware specs are closer to a 4070, that NVidia cancelled the release.
Maybe EVGA did pick a good time to get out of making NVidia cards. I can't imagine what a mess this is going to be for the 3rd party manufactures, who likely already have these cards in a warehouse, and now have to pull them. Even if NVidia reimburses them, it's a hell of thing. These cards will have to be repackaged, and likely reflashed, to make them into whatever model NVidia plans to call them.
