NVIDIA stops making non-A chips for RTX 2080, RTX 2070

At the time of manufacturing the first Turing GPUs, NVIDIA split silicon into two camps: high quality A-die for custom and overclocked GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2070 cards, while other non-stock cards Overclocked had the non-A silicon die.

Tom & # 39; s Hardware Germany Boss Igor Wallossek announced that NVIDIA would stop making non-A silicon and would only produce Turing matrices TU104-410 (RTX 2080) and TU106-410 (RTX 2070). This means that from now on, NVIDIA will only provide AIB with high quality A-die silicon, which means we could see a new wave of RTX 2070 and RTX 2080 with higher OC ceilings.

We should at least witness an overall increase in the base and an increase in the clock speed of the graphics processor on the next wave of RTX 2070 and RTX 2080, which could bring high-end custom cards to access to higher graphics processor clocks with some voltage adjustments. NVIDIA limit is in place. If they relax these cards a bit, NVIDIA cards could have high-end RTX 2070 and 2080 that would better compete with what AMD announced soon. Radeon RX 3080 XT rumored for $ 339far from the starting price of $ 599 for the GeForce RTX 2070.
