alright guys well it finally happened NVIDIA has just announced or in vailed three new graphics cards as part of their twenty series family featuring the new Turing GPU architecture very exciting stuff I'm gonna quickly run down the core specs of each of the cards but the main focus of this video is going to be the new founders edition card / cooler because it's vastly different than pretty much anything we've seen from a reference card from Nvidia in the past but some quick bullet points here before we dive into the finer details all three of these cards are featuring in videos new RTX technology which basically integrates real-time ray tracing into the rendering process to create much more realistic images and that's mainly due to how the lighting shadows and reflections are rendered and how they operate Nvidia showed us quite a few demos of r-tx in action and they were pretty impressive particularly for me the battlefield demo was unbelievable it was really kind of mind-blowing and it definitely sets a new bar it's also worth noting that devs have to add support for RTX in their games in order for the technology to take effect thankfully it looks like we're starting off with nearly a couple dozen games with our tech support added in which is quite exciting and I'm sure that list is gonna grow as time goes on but let's quickly go over the specs of these three cards starting with the RT X 2070 which is of course the successor to the gtx 1070 it's got 20 304 cuda cores a base clock of 1400 and 10 megahertz a boost of 1700 and 10 asterisks here because the new founders edition cards are gonna come factory overclocked so you might potentially see that the efi version of the card perform faster than some of the base models that are released from ad and board partners you've also got 8 gigs of GDD are 6 memory with a memory speed of 14 gigabits per second on a 256 bit bus 448 gigabytes per second memory bandwidth with a 6 phase power supply 175 watt TDP one 8 pin power connector and it's gonna retail for $5.99 u.s. $5.99 that's the price for the founders Edition card which there will be a premium on non founders Edition cards are gonna start at $4.99 we'll just have to wait and see if those prices actually hold up when these cards are now or released there's also no release date yet for the RTX 2070 let's move on to the next card which is the RT X 2080 successor to the GTX 1080 this is again specs for the founders edition cards 20 944 CUDA cores a base of 1515 megahertz a boost clock of 1800 megahertz with 8 gigs of GDD are 6 memory with a speed of 14 gigabits per second on a 256 bit bus 448 gigabits per second memory bandwidth an eight phase-- power supply a 225 watt TDP a single 6 pin and single 8 pin power connector with a price of $7.99 and non founders Edition cards will go for $6.99 September 20th is when this card officially launches pre-orders are available now however and then finally we have the big boy the RT X 28 e TI founders Edition at 40 352 CUDA cores a base clock of thirteen hundred and fifty megahertz a boost of sixteen hundred and thirty five megahertz eleven gigs of GDD are six with a memory speed of fourteen gigabits per second on a three hundred and fifty two-bit bus six hundred and sixteen gigabytes per second memory bandwidth thirteen phase power supply two hundred and sixty watt TDP to eight pin power connectors with a price of who you might want to sit down for this one eleven hundred and ninety nine dollars non founders Edition cards will run you for a cool grand this launches on the same date as the r-tx 2080 on September 20th I believe pre-orders are also available for that card now some quick thoughts on this these are definitely the highest prices that we've seen from Nvidia for the cards belonging to these tiers so hopefully the performance of these cards will scale with respect to the prices and then finally this is the first time that I can recall the TI model being unveiled and and released on the same date as the X X 8 0 SKU generally the ti model has come you know weeks or even months well after the 80 SKU but this time they're they're coming together now switching gears here we can sort of discuss the new founders Edition cooler the whole cooling solution the card itself most of the bureau that you see from here now is gonna be of the r-tx 20 atti so just bear in mind that that cooler is slightly different than the r-tx 1070 it's more or less identical to the 2080 but just bear in mind that these images are going to be mostly of the r-tx 2080 ti first of all this is a completely redesigned card from the last generation as I mentioned before they've kind of ditched the aggressive tessellated look of the last gen for a more sleek and minimal aesthetic of course everyone's gonna have an opinion about this you guys feel free to drop yours in the comments they've also done away with the blower style fan in place of dual axial 13 blade fans not exactly sure how big they are they look about a hundred millimeters I could be wrong but this definitely makes the card look more like an added board Partner card as opposed to the traditional Fe shrouds we're used to the fans are allegedly much quieter than a blower style fan which makes sense just because they're they're much larger they not to spin it as high of RPM and there's two of them and they have like a you know fancy blade design or whatever so all those things combined I would imagine is gonna make for a more comfortable gaming experience now there's a silver shroud that's kind of hugging the outer edges of both of the fans I believe it's made of aluminum I couldn't confirm that but it definitely looks to be made of a material or something similar and then there's this rather plain black surface in between the fans which is my least favorite part of the card cosmetically just a little bit too plain and boring you'll also notice that this black area is much larger on the r-tx 2080 and the r-tx 2080 ti than it is on the RT x 2070 you can tell because the the margins around the branded lettering is spaced very differently and that's because the 20 80 and 20 ATT eyes are actually about an inch and a half longer than the RT x 2070 at ten and a half inches and nine inches respectively the two faster cards are also slightly taller than the RT x 2070 at four point five five six inches versus four point four three five inches you still get the green LED backlit branding on the side of the card but now it says RT x instead of gtx to reflect the new names and it's not our GB so new I'm sure a lot of people are super disappointed it's not ready to be but who cares it's also an open shroud card now so previous generations had you know the the typical blower fan and it was an enclosed card ejecting all the hot air out the back of the card now it's being ejected from both the sides and also the back basically these new EFI cards will be exhausting hot air inside of your case I think that definitely changes things you know I've seen a lot of people including myself used the older founders edition cards inside of small form-factor cases where getting heat trapped inside of a little space can be really detrimental to to your thermals in your performance but you know people might have to look elsewhere and check out some adding board partner models that feature an enclosed shroud to sort of accommodate those scenarios so it's quite interesting you guys also let me know what you think of all this stuff additionally we've got an SLI finger that's in the same positions in the same spot but it's been redesigned looks kind of different here unless I'm just not seeing it from the right angle but it's been redesigned with support for envy link so you know it's gonna be delivering 50 times the transfer bandwidth of previous technologies and the high bandwidth SLI bridge seems to have also received a makeover the top of the card gets the old backplate treatment but you can see here it swaps the usual black color for silver which again I believe is aluminum and this backplate is unique in the sense where it actually extends to wrap around the edges of the card where it eventually meets the fans like I mentioned earlier on this creates sort of a unibody look which i think is a refreshing change but you guys let me know finally on the back of the card we get three DisplayPort 1.4 port's meaning we can finally do 4k at 120 Hertz and probably well ahead of its time still is 8k 60 Hertz support but you know I'm sure Linus will put 55 of them together and play minesweeper on it at some point we also get a single hdmi 2.0 B and one USB type-c port for virtual link which is the new open industry standard that's currently being developed to meet the power display and bandwidth demands for next gen VR headsets this is really cool because you no longer have to eat up one of your video outputs to play VR you have like a 4 panel setup or whatever a triple display with the companion monitor you don't have to unplug one of those if you want to plug in your VR headset or whatever it is so that's actually pretty cool so that is the new founders edition card for this first wave of 20 series Turing GPUs what do you guys think love it hate it somewhere in between let me know also share your thoughts on those prices what kind of performance are you expecting now that the official pricing in specs are out on the table that's all I got for now guys thank you so much for tuning in toss a like on this video if you enjoyed it and get subscribed for more tech content on the way including more coverage of this new family of GPUs very exciting stuff have a good one y'all I'll see you in the next video
