Nvidia Talks About Higher OC clocks on the Founder 2080 cards - also PCB Photo
NVIDIA just posted a blog post, and it is a rather unusual one. In the blog post, they pretty much state that they've always had an issue with the founders' edition cards, to reach higher boost clocks as to what the board partners have been able to achieve.
NVIDIA claims that with the new design a 90 MHz higher factory overclock is possible. That at least is the claim, and they also mention that each card is tested at the factory to ensure rock-solid OC stability which is backed by a 3-year standard warranty.
We've always had our comments about the blower style coolers from NVIDIA, they allowed a thermal threshold of 80 degrees, and all cards reached that in return throttling down.
The new two fan (13 blades) cooler design should be much better in that respect. And as long as the cards do not hit a too high-temperature target, of course, they will not throttle down, and in fact can even be clocked higher. NVIDIA mentioned that the new cooler will be much more silent as well, which is something I've complained about a lot with last-gen cooler. The new claim is that the cards will produce just a fifth of the acoustics compared to the last-gen design coolers, they mention it to be 8 DBa lower in noise, and that's a good value alright. We do wonder if NVIDIA isn't pushing too hard, as they are starting to really compete with their own AIB partners this way.
In other news, in the same blog-post, NVIDIA also posted a PCB shot and shows a photo of the new vapor chamber which covers the TU104 GPU (RTX 2080). GeForce RTX 2080 uses 225 Watts of power out of the box, and tops out around 280 Watts for enthusiasts chasing overclocking performance.
The power delivery system has been rebuilt for GeForce RTX Founders Edition graphics cards, starting with the all-new 13-phase iMON DrMOS power supply. Of particular note here is a new ability to switch off arbitrarily phases, for reduced power consumption at low workloads, which increases power efficiency.

The cooler design makes me think of EVGA ACX coolers.

You're a little selective when it comes to remembering your insults i see. Whatever, keyboard warrior. Good luck pulling that shit in real life

what is amd solutions slash vega to clearance they cant even beat 1080? ill buy it $100 rebranding gcn terascale is disgusting when product can only play lowest quality like gaming laptop 2018 that could heat a small house. rx was a flop rebrand for 60 fps min at 1080 rez. i got a 570 it very weak i call this minimum spec for gaming all it is rebadged r9 285 and it still a space heater. only plebs left without tensor cores and RT cores; amd will have physx performance on new titles if developer favor nvidia sdks over their own. pretty sure unreal is the industry which look good but all very similar. Looking forward for benches amd cant even enable tessellation yet, and nvida claims 6x better performance over 1080 for complex computation like RT. that probably means you can turn it on but the fps hit at high rez and frame times still might be trash.

Nothing wrong with the guy surmising performance based on specs, it's just that...surmising. It's interesting to speculate, nothing wrong with it.

There is absolutely no way that Nvidia would break from the AIB partners. Are we all already forgetting the Nvidia Partner Program? There is no way Nvidia could build cards fast enough on their own to keep up with initial demand for the consumer cards, as well as building all the Titans and Quadros for other markets as they currently do. When would they have time or resources for R&D???
