New variations of Nvidia's RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 GPU will mean lower manufacturing costs.
Rumours started to surface last week over potentially cheaper to manufacture versions of Nvidia's RTX 40-series GPUs, the AD103 and AD104 chips found in its RTX 4080 and the upcoming RTX 4070, respectively. Several GPU manufacturers have now confirmed the rumours, which will certainly help cut manufacturing costs, though whether it will translate to cheaper graphics cards is another matter entirely.
There's a potential that Nvidia has started the work in order to encourage loyalty from its AIB partners. Something no doubt weighing on the minds of Nvidia staff afterEither way, it looks like we'll one day be seeing the RTX 4070's AD104-250 chip switched to an AD104-251 version, with the RTX 4080's AD103-300 also getting an AD103-301 variant.
Whether these will end up replacing the current chip in the RTX 4080 is unclear, though Igor's Lab is confident the RTX 4070's -251 variant will go into production within weeks of the standard version.
