Nordic Hardware Says RTX 2080 a Paper Launch

Stefan Mileschin · 19th August 2018, 18:19

Nordic Hardware has a lot of dicey information on the upcoming RTX 2080 cards. While none of this written in stone, it is interesting as the rumor mill goes. NH is telling us that pre-orders will begin on Monday for the new RTX desktop cards. They are also telling us that the price for the RTX 2080 will likely be somewhere between the current MSRP of the GTX 1080 and 1080 Ti. From what we know, no media has hands on this card yet, and surely NVIDIA will not be sending us one since our GPP coverage. That said, we have worked to get one out of China, but that has proved fruitless. Not so much from being on the NVIDIA blacklist, but rather NVIDIA is exercising near-complete control over retail samples. Nordic Hardware does refer to this as a paper launch as well. All in all, we will hopefully know all the truth on Monday.
