When Did The 2080 Ti Come Out

Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti Super is coming – and it could be a monster GPU

We've heard previous whispers of the existence of a Super variant of Nvidia's flagship RTX 2080 Ti – including a rumor that turned out to be false – but apparently the GPU maker does have a new super-powerful RTX champion waiting in the wings, at least according to the latest speculation.

In a brusk-but-sweet tweet (short even for Twitter), kopite7kimi revealed a couple of juicy alleged spec details of Nvidia'southward supposedly incoming new spin on its flagship.

So, the RTX 2080 Ti Super does exist co-ordinate to this Twitter leaker, who has been on the money on previous occasions with Nvidia-related leaks, although we should obviously still be chucking a proficient deal of condiments around here (table salt, pepper, and whatever else you fancy – maybe a bit of paprika, because this is a spicy leak after all).

The number in the tweet – iv,608 – refers to the (alleged) number of CUDA cores that the incoming GPU will acquit, pregnant information technology volition supposedly use the full Turing TU102 GPU (as seen in the Nvidia Titan RTX). That runs with 576 Tensor cores and 72 RT (ray tracing) cores, compared to the 2080 Ti'south 544 and 68 respectively (the latter has iv,352 CUDA cores, too).

Speedy indeedy

The mention of 16Gbps refers to the bandwidth of the video RAM, compared to 14Gbps with the existing RTX 2080 Ti. The quantity of video retentivity isn't mentioned, of course, and this will apparently be a major differentiator between this purported Super card and the Titan RTX (which has a colossal 24GB of RAM on-lath).

The RTX 2080 Ti Super may run with 11GB or 12GB of video RAM, if it exists at all. The Super GPU would also likely be clocked slower than the Titan RTX so every bit non to take too much away from the latter's operation strengths, one would also assume – but who knows exactly where Nvidia might pitch things.

All in all, then, if this allegedly incoming graphics carte shapes upward along these lines, it's going to be something of a beast indeed.

It'due south interesting to annotation that kopite7kimi had previously tweeted most the being of a 2080 Ti Super mentioning a proposed launch date of the get-go quarter of 2020, but that tweet was subsequently deleted.

And then theoretically, we could meet this 2080 Ti Super launched in the first few months of 2020 – perhaps every bit a pre-emptive strike before AMD releases its supposed 'Nvidia killer' high-cease Navi GPU which is rumored to be due mid-2020 (and could be revealed as soon as CES).

And that theory would back up why Nvidia might want to brand this a strikingly powerful graphics carte du jour, of form – particularly if consumer next-gen Ampere GPUs aren't going to be gear up in a timeframe earlier then (fifty-fifty if the latest speculation indicates that they might be, the overall picture regarding Ampere – whether that's consumer or pro-targeted video cards – remains very unclear).
