(Smell, smell) – can you feel it? Oh yes, it’s the smell of laminate that just heralds the imminent launch of new Nvidia cards. It doesn’t matter if it’s the GeForce GTX 1180 or 2080 – we have something to wait for.
One of the users of the “bushy” forum – Baidu took care of the publication of the first photos. It is there that we can find detailed shots of the reference PCB (or if you prefer – laminate) of the GTX 1180/2080 card with the PG180 number. In the close-up shot, we can see the certificates (CE and FC), which proves the final version of the whole. It looks like this will allow you to serve the final card from 8 to 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. The whole will be driven by a 10-phase power section, supplied with energy by two connectors. Both 8 and 6 pin. So it looks like the new GeForce will surpass the current GTX 1080 in terms of TDP.
An interesting element is also the new SLI bridge, which can be a completely modernized NVLink designed for gaming graphics cards. And so it was said that multi-GPU setups are a thing of the past. The source, and more precisely the Videocardz website, also claims that considering the number of pins dedicated to the graphics core, the disclosed laminate will be the place for the GV104 core.
