Last week, we got the first info on US pricing for Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 graphics cards at retailers. The signs aren’t good, and it looks like it’s going to be difficult for consumers to buy many models that come close to the manufacturer’s suggested retail price this Wednesday (November 16th release). However, the first European prices have started to appear over the weekend, and the cheapest model listed costs £1,166 ($1,368) excluding his VAT, which looks to have deteriorated significantly.
For sample RTX 4080 pricing, we checked popular tech retailers in Denmark, France, and the UK and compared them to Microcenter’s US prices. All the retailers we checked had Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 available in cheaper SKUs. The most expensive option from all the retailers we sampled was the Asus ROG Strix RTX 4080 OC Edition.

Nvidia announced the GeForce RTX 4080 with a suggested retail price of $1,199, while the flagship RTX 4090 has a suggested retail price of $1,599. We used European prices excluding sales tax before applying today’s USD exchange rate.
Considering the above, the US price is the highest, followed by the UK price by some margin. Eurozone buyers can easily choose the cheapest EU member state without fussing about additional customs duties and import taxes. France seems to have the best pricing in euros at the moment, but we are unable to find retailers in neighboring countries such as Spain, Germany and Italy offering reference prices for the RTX 4080 series. was.
Just to remind our readers of the specs and estimated capabilities of the GeForce RTX 4080, it features an AD103 GPU with approximately 60% fewer transistors than the AD102 in the RTX 4090. CUDA, Tensor, and RT are also significantly reduced. Considering the core count, the RTX 4080 16GB has 8GB less VRAM on him and a narrower memory bus. We’ll test the performance numbers and share them soon, but Nvidia’s pre-release marketing numbers and leaks show that the RTX 4080 16GB still consistently delivers a significant performance boost over its predecessor, the RTX 3090 Ti. is shown.
