Nvidia is working on a TU102 circuit tailored for Geforce Now

In early August, information about a new graphics card from Nvidia appeared in the AIDA64 software. This graphics card was based on the large Turing circuit TU102, and speculation indicated that it could be a talked about but not confirmed and dismissed by Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 Ti Super.

New information indicates that the circuit T10-8 is instead a tailored TU102 circuit for use in the streaming gaming service Geforce Now. Surprisingly, the revelation takes place in Nvidia’s official forum in a thread about new RTX-equipped servers for the Geforce Now service. The thread confirms that the servers receive graphics cards equipped with the graphics circuit RTX T10-8 with 8 GB of graphics memory.

The information further states that the new circuit performs worse than the previous Tesla P40 graphics cards based on the Pascal architecture. Discussions in the thread speculate that the new graphics card was actually removed from Geforce Now due to performance issues, and that the service could not use ray tracingfunction when the platform on which Geforce Now is running, Windows Server 2012, does not currently support the function.

So it seems to be unclear when ray tracing will be part of the range of features in Geforce Now, and reports that it would be a Geforce 2080 Ti Super do not seem to be true.
