The video blog about coding Vulkan renderer with Mesh Shading pipeline is awesome.

Introducing the Quadro RTX 4000

https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/introducing-the-quadro-rtx-4000.html

 

$900 seems like a great price for a Quadro based on TU106. It's probably what I'd buy if I was building a desktop workstation for renders.
Unless the RTX 2080 can do Optix just as well and then there'd be little reason to pay more for a Quadro...

 

GeForce GTX 1060 with GDDR5X uses GTX 1080 (GP104) GPU

https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/geforce-gtx-1060-with-gddr5x-uses-gtx-1080-(gp104-gpu).html

 

More ways to dump excess GP104 onto the market?

 

Another way of looking at them might be that we're seeing chips that fell short of being on GTX 1070 cards. Or, instead of them being being good 1080s that have been sacrificed so as to fill a market segment, they were good 1070s that were sacrificed.

Though I guess anything is possible if nVidia welcomes the day the inventory of that series is gone. There's no "old man" at the top who'll blow his stack when he hears of good chips getting sold for a fraction of what could be gotten, it's just bookkeepers answering to other bookkeepers, who consult with tax experts, and who can justify everything to the stock holders.

 

This isn't Turing related...

 

Not sure the relevance of that video, though I haven't watched the whole thing. It says it's just standard hardware failure rates.

 

Exactly, no more than standard hardware failure rates should be expected from the 2080Ti cards. Video has some benchmarks regarding what to look for regarding normal vs problematic video card. Many people assumed their 2080Ti was affected (BSOD) but only needed the latest driver.

 

Didn't Nvidia release an official statement that there were batches of cards that fell through proper QA and we're confirmed to have bad components?

I did seem some posts but nothing official. Some posts from people with affected cards indicated the replacement cards have Samsung memory, though not sure if that was the issue. Could be just normal memory supply turnover.

 

Official enough?

Yeah, I knew about the "test escapes" but did not know that specifically caused the problems people had.

 

Uh oh, could it be something bigger than just "test escapes"? NVIDIA has now de-listed RTX 2080 Ti completely from their own online shop https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/shop/geforce/?page=1&limit=9&locale=en-us
If you go to it's product page it just says it's out of stock, but the other out of stock cards like 1080 Ti are still listed in the shop, 2080 Ti isn't

late edit:
Apparently the explanation by NVIDIA was false aswell and the actual reason was just scripting error on the page which limited the shown cards to those under $900. Also you could inject cards to the list via url

 

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Surfaces
Could be fake but RTX 2060 benchmark appears in Final Fantasy XV Benchmark.

Well they did get RX 590 there ahead of time too and it was spot on aka real

 

I see they included the GTX1060 5GB in that test. Seems legit.
