As I mentioned MLIDRetailers will sell the RTX 4090 cards faster than the RTX 4080, and you’re often left with 1/2 or 1/3 of the launch stock. Consumers complain that the RTX 4080 isn’t good enough to justify its price.

The RTX 4080 is the primary competitor to the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 7900 series. Left with an overpriced choice, gamers may opt for competing products instead not to mention the fact that AMD cards will simply cost less. However, AMD’s main problem has always been low launch inventory, and so far the company has made no promises on how many cards will be ready for launch.
