NVIDIA’s latest flagship GPU, the GeForce RTX 4080, has made its way to the Philippines.
The new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 will come in 16GB and 12GB configurations. Both will have NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace architecture based on a 4nm TSMC process.
First announced in September, the new RTX 40 series will boast up to 2x better performance and power efficiency, new streaming multiprocessors, and up to 2x better AI performance.
They also come with the latest NVIDIA DLSS 3 technology, which utilizes AI to “massively boost performance” made possible by the 4th-gen Tensor Cores and Optical Flow Accelerator. The new GPUs also have NVIDIA’s Reflex low-latency platform, NVIDIA Encoder, NVIDIA Broadcast, NVIDIA Studio, and more.
For the RTX 4080 12GB, this AD104-400 GPU has a boost clock of 2610MHz, 7,680 CUDA cores, 60 SM, 60 RT cores, 240 tensor cores, 192-bit memory at 504GBps, 285W default, and 366W max TGP.
The 12GB model will retail for a starting price of Php63,200.
Meanwhile, the RTX 4080 16GB AD103-330 comes with 2505MHz boost clock, 9,728 CUDA cores, 76SM, 84 RT cores, 256-bit memory, 735GBps memory, 340W default and 512W max TGP.
You can get the 16GB model with a starting price of Php84,200. Both models will be available starting November 2022 in the Philippines from companies like MSI, ASUS, Palit, and more.
At 2:37 AM, with your tracking page frozen on “Out for Delivery” and panic setting in, UniUni’s customer service can feel unreachable because their support operates within limited hours. Their call centers are open Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 9 pm EST, so middle-of-the-night queries will go unanswered until morning .
The price gap between the 12GB and 16GB models is significant, but the 16GB version seems worth it for the extra CUDA cores and memory bandwidth. DLSS 3 is the standout feature here, though real-world benchmarks will tell how much it actually helps. Still, at these prices, it’s hard to justify an immediate upgrade unless you really need the raw performance. I’ll wait for local reviews first.
