Geforce RTX 2070 and 2080: No A- and non-A-chips anymore?

If you can remember it, the RTX 2070 and 2080 are each based on two GPU models, the A and non-A revisions where the A model is the more premium GPU with more power and longer boost allowance. 

The separation between A and non-A GPUs could soon be a thing of the past on the Geforce RTX 2080 and 2070 reports the colleagues of Tom's Hardware, citing internal channels. The new uniform chips are allegedly produced to remain longer available in the channel. In addition, cards that board partners have already produced with older chips are to receive a new BIOS even before the final release. From the end of May.

The background is as follows: Nvidia offers the chips of the Geforce RTX 2080 Ti , 2080 and 2070 since their release in two variants. One may only be offered in reference clock rates and with limited power limit, the other overclocked and with more power limit. The latter also serves as the basis for the Founders Editions. In the now mentioned Geforces RTX 2070 and 2080 are the TU104-400 and TU106-400 - or TU104-400A and TU106-400A.

With the unification of the GPUs, however, a price reduction of many OC versions be on the horizon, as long as the new chip price corresponds to the previous non-A variant.
