The GeForce RTX 4080 Max-Q is a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on January 3rd, 2023. Built on the 5 nm process, and based on the AD104 graphics processor, in its GN21-X9 variant, the chip supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce RTX 4080 Max-Q. Additionally, the DirectX 12 Ultimate capability guarantees support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading and more, in upcoming video games. The AD104 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 294 mm² and 35,800 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which uses the same GPU but has all 7680 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce RTX 4080 Max-Q to reach the product's target shader count. It features 7424 shading units, 232 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs. Also included are 232 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 58 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 12 GB GDDR6 memory with the GeForce RTX 4080 Max-Q, which are connected using a 192-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 795 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1350 MHz, memory is running at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). Its power draw is rated at 60 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. Rather it is intended for use in laptop/notebooks and will use the output of the host mobile device. GeForce RTX 4080 Max-Q is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 interface.
