NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Reference Design Teased

btarunr · Aug 20, 2018

Here's the first teaser picture of NVIDIA's upcoming super high-end GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card, with its most prominent feature being a dual-fan reference-design cooler. Given that blank PCB pictures of the RTX 2080 reference board shows two fan headers, it's possible that NVIDIA could make this dual-fan cooler common for both the RTX 2080 Ti and the RTX 2080+ (a premium 3,072-SP version of the RTX 2080, which could launch in September).

Looks like something EVGA would make, I like it.

Reminds me of the old XFX Ghost Thermal

That looks so weird, where does the air go ?

Gotta be honest, the FE blower one was miles ahead in terms of looks.

It looks incredibly dysfunctional, the bulk of heatsink is supposedly between the two fans yet the shroud is closed meaning the only exhausts are in the back and front. Seriously, what the hell is that ? Looks very fake to me.

So true I love the FE blower and I only buy them, I think NVidia had to do this as this chip is a bit hot

The GEFORE RTX must be backwards, surely I’m not the only one seeing this?

huguberhart · Aug 20, 2018

With all these estimates and predictions, are MINI (~180mm length) variant cards possible?

They made so for promotional purposes.

As for the design, the two fans can be logic if the card is all open with heatsink fins on the sides like all other custom cards.

OOT : I really curious why every GPU 'leak' always so close to release date (e.g 1/2 months before D day), and often its very accurate numbers too.
are manufacturer company (ASUS, Gigabyte, etc, etc) not getting sued by nvidia for leakage? OR it is controlled leak to build up hype and rumours by 3rd party card maker under Nvidia permission to do so?
( ex. Nvidia : you may leak PCB, box art, BUT NOT GPU core diagram)
3rd party : aye aye sir.)

it seems to be the latter in my opinion...

Vayra86 · Aug 20, 2018

I'm getting the impression this is going to be a great GPU gen to skip entirely.

Vaporware featureset and near similar performance to Pascal in a much hotter package. Yeah. You can keep that. And your utterly hideous coolers too.

Why? There's only two reasons to get a FE blower one, a) FC GPU waterblocks are quickly available or b) in SLI, hot air is exhausted better. But oh the noise and crappy thermal performance..

Liviu Cojocaru · Aug 20, 2018

If this is actually true, I'm into it...I might buy it for a decent price that is

Fleurious · Aug 20, 2018

But where are all the LEDs?!

What are the chances of being able to get one in Canada for under $1k? I need a replacement for my 780Ti that died.

lol agreed

zelnep · Aug 20, 2018

the fun is over, Zotac leaked prices... gtx 2080 will cost 800$ and Ti will cost 1100+$, so if these cards are not 50% or more powerful as Pascal - in non Raytrace tasks, then we will have a set back for the whole fricken generation

We cannot expect anything less from the most callous company after Apple, nGreedia.

phill · Aug 20, 2018

I look forward to seeing how fast these cards are.. I do wonder if they will be a step forward and back at the same time.... Time will tell

I await the reviews.

mcraygsx · Aug 20, 2018

This was much needed improvement for their in house reference cooling solution. Lack of adequate cooling on my Titan XP hurts it performance like no tomorrow.
