Corsairs new Vengeance RGB pro series ddr4 memory gives you blazing fast speed and dynamic multi zone RGB lighting with ten ultra-bright LEDs per module customization options are practically endless with the corsair IQ software package and they're available with black or white heat spreaders find out more about the Corsair Vengeance RGB pro series via the sponsor link in the description what's up guys welcome to Pauls hardware today's video is an exciting one because it's been two years actually over two years since nvidia launched their 1000 series or their 10 series the GTX 1080 and 1080 Ti that we have been forced to use as the best and fastest gaming graphics cards for the past couple years but now we have new graphics cards the our TX 2080 the r-tx 2080 ti yes they're very expensive and there's ray-tracing stuff that may or may not be useful and all that to discuss but for now this video is just about the glorious unboxing process this is the first time these are the founders edition cards directly from Nvidia that they've sent over so hopefully you guys will be able to live vicariously through me as I get my first look at these new cards get them out of the retail packaging so let's begin now full disclosure I did already pre open this box but I did not open the boxes that are inside so you know I'm just trying to do the full experience here make it as authentic as possible inside we have some pink foam and at first I was like wow this is like an old-school product lunch I used to get new graphics cards that we're just launching that didn't have any retail packaging yet and it would they would always for some reason pack it in this paint foam stuff but all right we got two GPUs side by side here 20 80 20 80 TI pretty much the line of course we are expecting there to be manufacturer third third-party add-on board manufacturers that will also have 1080 at 20 80 TI s and 20 80s coming at you very soon since they're both launching on September 20th but for now I just got the founders Edition this maybe I'll be coming back to you in the future days with some other unboxings and features of other cards there's the founders edition retail boxes looking very similar I will say to the founders Edition retail box for the 10 series which is right here at least in shape they did change the outer design of the box I will be keeping this on hand so I can give you all side-by-side comparison but where do I begin the 2080 founders Edition retail price is $800 $7.99 you might be able to get third-party versions for a hundred bucks cheaper than that at $700 whereas the 20 atti founders addition is retailing for $1200 1199 so that means both of these together is $2,000 worth of graphics cards at least if you believe in videos pricing I'm gonna say the best for last and we'll start off with the 2080 honestly I'm expecting both of these cards to pretty much look exactly the same as far as the cards themselves into the box and stuff so now we get that nice reveal as we lift it up I do think this is looking just slightly different than what we saw at the press events at Gamescom I've got a tag on mine that's new this is tag say not sure what this tag is it looks like there's there's a SKU here for the card itself and then this is maybe a distinct serial number but yes I can pull that off before I remove the plastic key packaging bits let's at least check out what else comes in the box alright so similar to their last generation they are including a DisplayPort to DVI adapter which is simply because there is no DVI ports on this card so if you have a monitor that only supports DVI then that is handy to have and then we got a couple booklets here the r-tx 2080 Quick Start Guide which is pretty long a bunch of different languages now this is just a basically out of the card showing power connectors and basic hardware installation so that's all stuff that you've probably seen before where to download the drivers and then a support guide which I imagine is much different this is all that safety information and requisite stuff that they have to include when they ship an electronics product so that's fun a couple little accessories that come in the box but onto the GPU itself which has a lovely assortment of plastic packaging the r-tx 20/80 has 2944 cuda cores a quarter clock 1550 megahertz loose o'clock at 17:10 if you go for the low lean on Founders edition versions or at least that's the standard base clock founders editions are gonna have a boost clock of 1800 megahertz so it'll actually boost up a little bit faster than these supposed hundred dollar cheaper versions that may or may not actually be coming available at some point there's a little peel off there though do these have the secret the secret peel of things on the fans I think they do the first pro tip for new r-tx 2080 owners is to make sure to peel the plastic off of the central fan hub as well as the r-tx logo writing out the specs though eight gigs of GDD are six memory in this one that's on a 256 bit interface 14 gigabits per second or 448 gigabytes per second total bandwidth and then probably what's gonna be the biggest question is this new cooling solution the first time that nvidia has gone with an open cooling solution with dual fans for their standard founders edition card or reference design however you want to look at it they are including a nice backplate which is all silver there and then if you're looking at the side of the card that you're probably going to get the view of when it's installed in your case you'll be able to see the backplate their two power connectors here which is a six pin and an eight pin although it looks like the PCB is laid out so that you might be able to enhance it and go eight and eight or maybe we'll see that's change with the r-tx twenty atti there's a geforce r-tx logo on the side here and I believe that will light up in green and then we could see some of the fin stacks here for the cooling solution that is beneath and it does look like it's gonna eject some hot air on the bottom and the top of the card depending on how you look at it shroud wraps are on the back here and there's a imprinted and video logo on that side as well and then for i/o here on this side we've got HDMI as well as three display ports and then that USB C which can operate as a display port out or it's also so gonna support virtual link for VR headset connections lastly over on this side we have a cover for our Envy link connector and that's the new connection standard for two-way SLI configurations which is definitely significantly different in appearance and shape to your standard SLI fingers and we're gonna have special Envy link bridges that go with that too but I like the little cap that they've put on here is pretty clean covered so if you're not using that blends in nicely with the rest of the shroud continuing on with our glorious unboxing we have the arc TX 2080 TI which I'm imagining is going to be super different it is different when it comes to specs and everything you get 11 gigs of GDD are 6 memory with the 2080 TI on a 352 bit interface that also gives you an increased memory bandwidth of 616 gigabytes per second and the box the box is still the same though and the shroud is still the same although I was right that we have two 8-pin connectors now instead of the eight plus six just quickly confirming that our accessory kit is the same except 2080 TI for the QuickStart guide and you do still get that DisplayPort to DVI adapter continuing on with some specs though this one has 4352 cuda cores so significantly higher costs from 800 bucks up to 1200 bucks and I'm sure will debate that more once there are reviews and performance numbers that we can talk about with these but pretty big jump in costs but you also get a pretty big jump in CUDA cores - from 2944 up to 4352 core clock 13 50 megahertz boost clock fifteen forty five megahertz and the founders edition boost clock which is special up to 1635 megahertz and again base price if you can find third-party designs that are gonna sell for that cheap should be $1000 and then this founders Edition version costs $1,200 wow that's the first time that nvidia has had a non Titan GPU that they have tried to charge more than $1,000 for and they just went right for it not even like just sticking it to 999 or something dec now we're gonna jump it all the way up to 1200 and again I'm sure there's gonna be plenty of debates and then coming weeks as to whether or not this is worth the money I'm inclined to think it's a little overpriced right now but again good way to learn under a final verdict until I can run some benchmarks on this but other than that it's pretty much the exact same physical design I I can't tell without doing some disassembly which I'm not going to do right now whether there's any difference to the internals of the cooler but we still have the two fans solution we still have the open-air shroud with the exhausts on either side and the only real main physical difference here is going to be the two 8-pin connectors versus the eight plus six pin of the r-tx 2080 now I will say when I was first introduced to these GPUs at the event back in Germany with Gamescom I was a little on the fence about the design maybe just just the angles they showed it at or maybe it's just actually holding it in your hands that gives you a different opinion of it because this feels very substantial it's a heavy card there's a lot of metal going on in this cooling solution itself so that gives you the impression of a weighty and valuable product I guess these are just first impressions though so this might all go out the window once I do a full review and once I get to that full review I will be able to test these new cards or tests and share performance numbers with you comparing the prior generation to this generation and actual real world gaming performance for now though I can give you a side-by-side comparison of the former founders edition card and this is the GTX 1080 was going to do the 1080 Ti but it's actually installed in the system right now I didn't want to pull it out of there but there you go just a quick side-by-side so you can look and let me know in the comment section what you think of the new design versus the old design were you a fan of the old design especially this slightly updated tessellated version this design was first sort of conceptualized back when the GTX 690 launched and then it has made some slight variations over the years but this is the first time they've gone with a massive and major complete redesign going with a completely different style of shroud and blower or non blower cooler with two fans on which again once we can share performance numbers with you I'll be able to tell you how effective this cooler actually is I will say I think I like the shroud better on this one it has the chromed out r-tx logo there so I guess that's my opinion on that such as it is but guys that pretty much does it for this video I know this has just been a quick unboxing and kind of light on actual stuff but the first impression at least of the coolers I think has been positive for me again it's going to come down to price versus performance and what you get out of these cards for actual games that you can play right now but more on that on my upcoming full review video which should just be in a few days from now so definitely hit the subscribe button if you want to see those videos when they come out hit the thumbs up button if you enjoyed video as well and let me know in the comments section the answers to the questions that I asked you like what you think of these physical designs of these and the aesthetics thanks again for watching this video guys and we'll see you next time
