Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti hands-on preview and unboxing

The Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 are here, they’re in our hands and in the labs benchmarking away as I type. How exciting. The new cards represent the first consumer GPUs of the Turing generation and the first genuinely new Nvidia cards to drop in around 18 months. That’s a long time in the graphics card market, but these have been pretty frickin’ barren times. We’ve had cryptocurrency miners rinsing the factories dry of GPUs throughout most of the year, and no-one bothering to launch new cards because they can barely manage to produce the ones they’ve already released. But now we have a glut of new cards… well, two. Though because Nvidia has changed up the way it’s managing this launch, there should be lots of different versions of both the RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 come the September 20 release. For its part, Nvidia is coming out with overclocked Founder’s Edition cards, allowing its partners to start selling their own versions at the same time, with the option to create either reference-clocked cards or stupidly expensive even-more-overclocked monsters.
