ASUS RTX 2080 Turbo (Baseline) Cards Come with TU104 "A" Chips

[Robcostyle]

So what, you're going to 'upgrade' from 1080ti to a 2080? That is a pretty epic waste of time

Well, this might be truth about GT102 too.
Moreover, it might happen so, that 1080 ti simply becomes dud in 2019 + no competetion from amd, and huang rushing everyone with crazy priced gpu’s - so you’ll have no choice but to purchase these rtx bullshit cards, in order to play new games.

But yeah, I must admit - if those monopoly motherf****ers are gonna MAKE me to spend alot of cash just because they want to - I’ll screw them over and buy PS4. Or even abandon videogames - my eyes will thank me for that.

Why would any card become a dud in 2019? You're jumping to conclusions. 95% of people don't change cards every few years, they do it every 3-5 years. So anyone with a Pascal card can safely skip RTX 2xxx altogether. Including you. And you can still play everything.

Games are optimized for the midrange, not for the high end. Don't mistake your own enthusiast urges with the norm.

Rubbish! That was a silly statement. NVidia hasn't discontinued or even discounted the card yet. It will still be made and sold through 2019. It certainly won't be a "dud" while it's still being made. It will likely stay relevant until 2021 or even 2022.

Planning to grab myself a 2080, do some modding and go overclock.

So are the "A chips" coming with all Asus turbo cards, or just happen by chance?

The spec seems to be modified and states that the card have a "non-A chip" on it. Does anyone have a certain answer?
