New PCB Photos of GeForce RTX 2080 Surfaces - Shows the GPU
It's hard to contain the information and leaks that have been happening in relation towards the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 series. New photos have just surfaced, showing the GeForce RTX 2080, including the GPU.
The new photos originate from Raymond Chan who posted in the videocardz discussion section some photos, one of them seems is originating back to chiphell (an Asia based website). I cannot argue whether or not these are tempered with as the GPU looks a little icky, but regardlessly - that's very likely the RTX 2080 PCB, as you can see the new interconnect very clearly. You can count 8 GDDR6 chips, indicative for 8GB graphics memory, and that thus would be the GeForce RTX 2080. Next, to that, the GPU is listed as TU104-400. The TU102 would be a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.
Have a peek, you can check the thumbnails below for the full photos. Also, the PCB looks very similar to the photos earlier leaked when the card was assumed to be called GTX 1180. Again let me state, we cannot vouch or take credit for these photos.

And not a word from anyone from the massive die size.
suddenly not a problem like it would be if this was a AMD chip

What's the problem with die sizes?
Anyways if this exists, it's like 30% bigger due to tensor cores.
The problem with AMD is they use way too much power out of the box, pretty poor perf per watt.
Not just vega but also polaris, ie rx 580 vs 1060.
I don't think anyone cares about die sizes as long as they perform as expected.

actually, i'd be shocked if they did use tensor cores. they talked a lot to investors about differentiating gpu's so pros have to buy quadros and titans.
the first thing they mentioned was tensor cores.

I'm surprised there is no metal surrounding the socket ?
I hope there is no chance of cards bending and solder cracking...
