We’ll be seeing larger memory cards for the Geforce RTX 4080 at launch is rumors are to be true. Let’s wait and see …
Taken from VideoCardz … There are some new developments concerning NVIDIA’s upcoming high-end GPU called RTX 4080. Those who expected a simple product stack for RTX 40 series may be left disappointed. New rumors suggest the company is preparing two cards with the same name, but featuring different memory configurations.
What is now said is that NVIDIA supposedly plans to introduce both the 16GB and 12GB RTX 4080 cards alongside each other.
4080 16G and 4080 12G will be released and launched at the same time, just like 1060 6G and 1060 3G https://t.co/nTWYuSGZUm

Furthermore, another leaker @kopite7kimi claims that this supposed RTX 4080 12GB model may already have its board and SKU numbers. And this is where things get interesting. Unless AD104 and AD103 are pin compatible, there is a chance that the alleged RTX 4080 12GB model could feature AD104 GPU, not AD103. For now, there were only leaks on RTX 4090 (AD102) and RTX 4080 1GB (AD103) sharing the same PG139 board, but nothing on AD103/AD104 on PG141.
