Over in Asia a series of announcements have been made. MSI will release three models GeForce RTX 2080 series cards. The 2080 and 2080 Ti Trio, but also a GeForce RTX 2080 Ventus. The new Ventus card seems to go on pre-order on August 30, with availability on September 20th.
And that means we now have a release date for the IB cards. I also noticed some prices, however, these are reported in YEN so beware of exchange rates margins. The prices are mentioned exclusive of VAT, I would not call the listed prices final as they could be overinflated for the preorder. They are mentioned to go live on Amazon.co.jp from 08 o'clock on August 28th:
- GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO price tax excluded 174,800 yen (1349 EUR)
- GeForce RTX 2080 GAMING X TRIO market assumed price 124,800 yen (965 EUR)
- GeForce RTX 2080 VENTUS 8G OC market expected price tax excluded 119,800 yen (929 EUR)
The Trio cards we've already shown and seen of course, however, the dual-fan based VENTUS is a new model. The MSI website is not yet listing the clock frequencies. Availability would be September 20th, and yeah the prices are just staggering.
