As we already know, NVIDIA will reveal its new gaming graphics cards based on the Turing architecture on August 20th. However, what really caught us off guard was the fact that the Ti variant of its latest GPUs may be released sooner than expected.
Although we don’t know the specifications or the differences between the original RTX 2080 and the RTX 2080Ti variant, Videocardz has shared the first images from MSI’s custom solution.
The MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti GAMING X TRIO will come with three fans and RGB lighting, a backplate, will feature the new Type-C VirtualLink connector and NVLink, and will be equipped with dual 8-pin power connectors.
Since AIBs have already these custom variants of the 2080Ti up and ready, we may see the Ti version releasing alongside the original RTX 2080 version (or at least a few months afterwards). Again this is mere speculation and nothing more.
NVIDIA will officially reveal more on August 20th so stay tuned for more!

Day one purchase for me then… So hyped!
Nvidia continues to “dominate” the GPU market, if they are indeed releasing a Ti variant model, of the RTX series.
But, I’ve already asked WHYCRY to provide more pics, or some link/source for this leak. because the above are renders, and not real card pics.
They will be in the lead anyway even with the midrange next gen GPUs soon to be released. Last I heard it will be next year before AMD releases their 7nm gaming GPUs. Maybe AMD can push harder to get to a quicker release.
Amd should refresh and drop prices like never before to get new customers.
It sounds good but that is what almost bankrupted AMD years ago. Selling cheap with low profit margins to try to attract more customers. It failed. Their market share instead went down to it’s lowest level ever (around 20%) and they went further into debt quarter after quarter than any other time in the past.
Well then what CAN they do ? I mean it’s not like they can produce a chip that can rival with nvidia in the high/enthusiast end. I feel like when it comes to AMD it’s always wait until next gen they have « this » and « that » coming… Sadly it always feel like a drop of water in the ocean and they can’t have a hard capitalization on anything (gpu wise). Then you have NVIDIA on the other side who charging much more BUT is offering noticeable performance improvements over previous generations in a normal timeframe (considering lack of competition).
This market is cancer for us right now.
That’s why we really need a third GPU competitor….Will it be INTEL !
tbh AMD just doesn’t have any easy way up the ladder. What they have been doing recently is sound business decisions that are working. Charge a fair price for their products and keep those quarterly financial statements showing a profit, albeit a small one compared to Intel and Nvidia.
Despite what some think Lisa Su did the smart thing and concentrated AMD’s R&D money on Ryzen and put aside competition for Pascal (energy efficiency and competition for 1080 Ti).
Next year AMD will bring competition for the generation Nvidia is releasing soon but that’s the best that they can do. AMD hasn’t had R&D money to compete with Intel and Nvidia at the same time for a long, long time. Either they concentrate on CPU and let GPU slip or they concentrate on GPU and let CPU slip.
The reason that their market share dropped so low a while back is that several large financial analyst firms were pretty sure that they were headed for bankruptcy. When someone looks at spending hundreds of dollars on a video card they want future driver support. Many at that time were concerned that if AMD did go bankrupt there would be no further driver support so they went with Nvidia.
this. being the cheaper option never did work well for AMD. when they have the best hardware in the market and intend to charge premium for it many people end up holding back and wait for competitor product before making decision. heck some people even associate AMD as the permanent GPU provider that will always offer cheaper price than nvidia but with much faster performance than expensive nvidia option. i still some people really defending AMD how they will never going to charge more than $400 for s single GPU no matter how fast they are vs nvidia offering. then bam. $550 7970. even more expensive than nvidia two previous flagship.
The leaks from AdoredTV indicate the Ti may be a 104 class GPU, instead of the bigger 102 based die we saw with Maxwell and Pascal. If so, I’d expect a 2090 (Ti) to be released months later, unless they’re reserving those bigger die for the professional/data center markets.
Anythings possible I guess but if Nvidia does something like the 1070 and 1070 Ti release with a 2080 and 2080 Ti then it wouldn’t make sense to release the 2080 Ti so soon after the 2080 if they are both xx104 parts. There was a year and a half between the 1070 and 1070 Ti releases.
Maybe they’re changing tactics ? I don’t know if this is true but with the RTX brand, we might see 2085/2090/2095. Who knows. A *102 chip might be for possible future competition once AMD releases something in 2019.
The 1070 Ti isn’t a good comparison, that card only exists because Nvidia wanted to take headlines away from AMD when Vega launched. You have to look at what they’ve done the last 3 generations, which is release the 104 class cards, followed by the 102 class. That way, they can launch 2 flagships in one architecture. Simply changing the product names would lure people into thinking they were buying the flagship.
RTX 2090Ti seems a bit unlikely, IMO.
They don’t have to release this at least for the gaming segment, as they can reserve the bigger die for other compute solutions, if need be.
Btw, the TU104-400 class is likely the GeForce RTX 2080.
I thought you no longer visiting this website?
What’s your problem, btw ? If you don’t like reading my comments, then BLOCK me on Disqus….
don’t have problem with you at all. I was curious because you were crying like a b*tch and saying you no longer gonna be here. now you came back like a b*tch 🙂
Those are not real images though and the side of the box is wider at the bottom than the top.
I’m thinking it’s a mock-up and that would be a good thing. Those LEDs are fugly. Makes me think of Rage 2.
That’s an illusion, I’ve checked in photoshop: https://i.gyazo . com/ba5c36ef8ff0c836e80cb1cd4c436fbf.jpg
All 3 images look like a render, the flatness and lighting give it away. You might be right about the box, I looked at official images of boxes and they look simular
And it looks like they have gone with NVLink instead of SLI! As far as I understand it you can run two GPU’s and your PC will view it as one single GPU and double your VRAM with NVLink. I hope they reduce the price on the NVLink bridges though!
We’ve got a somewhat odd situation going here. The last few generations Nvidia has released the Titan and the xx70, xx80 GPUs and then 6 to 9 months later after scooping up the high profit from the early adopters that couldn’t wait for the xx80 Ti and bought the Titan they released the xx80 Ti.
What is odd this time is that Nvidia released a Titan that wasn’t for gaming, at least not today’s gaming. It’s conceivable that they could skip releasing a gaming Titan this time to avoid further confusion and just go ahead with the 2080 Ti pretty soon. I hope they do but I also hope the price won’t be a shock.
If that’s the case they probably shot themselves in the foot. Many enthusiasts buy the **80 version until the Ti comes along. Now people will just go the Ti way. They’ll pay premium. Do they care ? No. Do i care ? No. I’ll get the Ti hybrid from Evga as soon as it’s out.
nah. they probably really are shooting AMD for real this time instead of giving the usual “room” for AMD to keep up later on. what ever happen to AMD intel will still be there to compete with nvidia later on. so they can’t be accused of total monopoly.
That thing is massive
Thats what she said

I also was just reading on Nvidias website that the Star Wars Ray Tracing demo that was running on 4 Volta GPU’s can now run on a single RTX Turing Quadro GPU which should be very close in specs to the RTX 2080ti (besides the memory buffer!).
It’d have to be around 50% more powerful than a 1080Ti for me to be interested.
I didn’t want to do another PC rig for 2nd-gen VR but I might have to one more time.
You should never upgrade every cycle regardless. This is mostly a good upgrade for people on the ~700 series or cards. Save your money for a beefy card 2 or 3 years down the road.
I sometimes wear a beef jerky helmet and run around the zoo. I’m not very smart. I just do what the marketing guys tell me what I need to buy as a consumer and I do it.
Depending on what games you play and what monitor you use, one might have no other choice but to upgrade and resell gpu every gen to get the most of the experience!
But i totally agree with you. Got a Titan Xm Hybrid back 2-3 years and it’s still doing good but in some games on 1440p keeping the 60fps is getting harder and harder without droping visual fidelity.
I’ve got a VR headset. I haven’t played a pancake game in over a year. Right now I’ve got a 1080Ti and every title I use or play runs at a smooth 90fps, but in a few years I know the VR titles will start to look better and require more power, as these things always go.
Same here, it will be completely dependent on where VR goes. I don’t see anything down the line until at least 2020 which is cool so far. If LG releases a 4k VR HMD with the new knuckle controllers next year though that could be a problem, but I don’t think that is very likely though. Cyber Punk drops in 2020 also I think so I’ll see ^^
I was hoping that my next headset would be a standalone, wireless set but I’ll probably need one more generation where I’m tethered to a PC before a really strong HMD comes out that utilizes foveated rendering and other optimizations so mobile hardware will be sufficient to run VR apps at 4K/90fps.
You may be right about that, I have been on tpcast for about a year, it will be hard to switch to an untethered solution going forward, but it isn’t a deal breaker.
Even though my Odyssey only has one cord, I also have earphones I plugged in and even with an extension cable, it’s a nagging issue. I’m not as mobile with it as I’d like. I don’t always physically turn when I could because the freakin’ cable is there and I don’t want to twist it or get my feet caught up in it.
But we’re in gen 1 so it’s to be expected. This reminds me of Internet in 1994 when it’d take 10 minutes to download a 2-minute, postage stamp-sized movie trailer and all websites looked terrible. Hardware and software developers are just exploring this new frontier and figuring out what works.
Meanwhile, this could be a possible sample PCB of the card/RTX 2080, and according to TPU’s database, the expected Ti specs (subject to change though).
The die seems a bit huge, 550 I suppose.

will the price drops when 2080 comes out?
Hopefully yes, the price should drop. But this will still vary between region and country.
Seems prices are already dropping or at least there are a lot of sales/rebates happening. Still considering SLI my 1080, but I know MGPU is dying. I need to get a new a/v reciever first. 🙂
NVlink might bring MGPU back on track, provided they will bring it to the gaming sphere.
Instead of going SLI, you might think of upgrading to a SINGLE powerful GPU like the RTX 2080 Ti, if you wish ?
The upcoming cards support NVLINK, but we still don’t know whether games will fully benefit from this feature, and whether VRAM will also indeed get “stacked” or not between the cards.
But, Nvlink is going to be the future.
We need to see how this gets implemented when the cards come out, and whether the API or OS will also play a role to some extent (DX12, VULKAN etc).
Double penetration for AMD..
9900K + GTX2080Ti..
They lost their head GPU design guy to Intel too. I don’t like they competition dragging their feet so much it only means higher prices for us. I do like supporting the underdog but when the underdog becomes the beaten dog so many times you have to wonder how long they will be able to stay in the race.. Intel needs to enter the high-end GPU market.

…..Copy/paste spam BOT detected….
+500$ to price or for rbg and +250$ for “gaming” tag in name
Well im gonna save money i really want a 9900k and either 2080 or 2080ti its time for my 2012 pc with 980ti to go to my brother 🙂
Time to start saying goodbye to my GTX 1080 Ti.
i can feel the shekels rattling in my wallet
knowing what’s to come, knowing that the upgrade draw near…
Nvidia just need to make sure to have enough of these babies ready for the market so stocks wouldn’t get jacked by scalpers…
in my country those vga will be price, around USD 800-1K…… >.<
