Leaked GTX 2080 Ti by Nvidia features 12 GB VRAM and 384-bit memory bus, surpassing the specifications of the final RTX edition - the unveiled engineering sample exhibits enhanced capabilities.
In an intriguing turn of events, a previously unseen variant of Nvidia's "Turing" lineup of GPUs, the GTX 2080 Ti, has been uncovered. This unique graphics card, now in the possession of user u/Substantial-Mark-959, has made its way into the annals of GPU history, thanks to its inclusion in TechPowerUp's database.
The GTX 2080 Ti shares the same TU102 die as its retail counterpart, but it boasts several upgraded specs. It offers 12 GB of VRAM, a significant increase from the standard 11 GB, and its memory bus has been expanded from 352-bit to 384-bit. This enhancement results in a memory bandwidth that approaches nearly 700 GB/s, a notable improvement over the 616 GB/s of the regular 2080 Ti.
Moreover, the GTX 2080 Ti boasts more ROPs, shader units, and TMUs, which contribute to its performance. Interestingly, in the Superposition benchmark, it scored 9,116 points, a result similar to that of a normal 2080 Ti.
The existence of this unique GTX 2080 Ti raises questions about Nvidia's strategy. Some speculate that it could be a last-minute change towards the RTX branding to market ray tracing, given the card's inclusion of RT Cores, as confirmed by testing Port Royal for ray tracing. However, the developer of this engineering sample remains unidentified in the provided search results.
The GTX 2080 Ti's inclusion in a database is a testament to its historical significance in the GPU industry. Its documentation serves as a reminder of its unique nature and its role in the evolution of graphics technology. Despite being a unique case, the GTX 2080 Ti has been recognised and documented in GPU history, underscoring its importance.
In conclusion, the GTX 2080 Ti is a fascinating piece of hardware that offers a glimpse into the inner workings of Nvidia's development process. Its inclusion in TechPowerUp's database serves as a permanent record of its existence and its role in the GPU industry. As more information about this unique card comes to light, it will undoubtedly continue to captivate the interest of tech enthusiasts and historians alike.
