NVIDIA RTX 40 sales reports

The RTX 4080 is not selling well in the first week.

The first estimates of sales of the RTX 40 series have been shared by a few sources, but despite the impressive numbers, retailers are concerned that it may not be as popular an option as the RTX 4090.

According to Wccftech and ChiRTX 4090 has already sold 130 thousand units, 5 thousand more since yesterday Report from GamerNexus.

The RTX 4080 is the primary competitor to the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 7900 series.
