A purported engineering sample for Nvidia's RTX 2080 Ti has surfaced online, revealing details about an unreleased 'GTX' variant of the card. This engineering sample boasts 12 GB VRAM and a 384-bit memory bus, offering upgraded specifications compared to the final retail 'RTX' version.
The card retains its RT cores and performs similarly to a regular RTX 2080 Ti, suggesting that despite the differences in naming and architecture, the core capabilities remain consistent. The discovery of this engineering sample was made by a Reddit user who stumbled upon it while repairing a GPU for a friend.
The card has since been added to the TPU database, ensuring its specifications are preserved for future reference. This find highlights the sometimes unexpected ways hardware details can emerge before official releases.
