2080ti FE what is "rev. A"

[HugoBoss100]

Hello, i'm using folding@home and the software detect mu GPU as "GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Rev. A"

So i'm wondering what this "Rev. A" means, and what are the differencies with other revision if there is

[Adkatka]

that means that this product will not have any revisions (or maybe im wrong)

Anyways all manufactures are different, and the use their revision methots

Even if there is a higher revision 2080ti, then it is probably gonna be an upgraded design.

There should be no Perfomance difference

ok thanks for your answer, this is what i was think cause their is nothing talking about it on the net but i wanted to be sure

i have to be honest i'm not entirely sure what the Rev.A stands for, perhaps it was an initial version of the die, i can't say and i haven't found much in the way of information about it either.

I do know that my Rev.A outperforms a regular 2080Ti in folding by a considerable margin though

2080 ti GPUs are either A or non A. The non As have a 280 watt power limit so they run at lower mhz and are not overclocked by the board partners. By contrast my EVGA FTW3 Ultra has a power limit of 373 watts. 

 

A good example is the EVGA Black with a boost clock of 1545mhz.

 

Your GPU = TU102-300A-K1-A1

EVGA Black = TU102-300-K3-A1

Um...what? OCN RTX 2080 Ti owners club has a section noting the difference between the A and non-A cards.

A cards are not necessary binned as all GPUs end up in the same 2100MHz ballpark when overclocked.

I just like how Nvidia keep releasing a completely same r.A card  with the same price and same name, but with better specs. And annoying default 2080ti users by that

They were released at the same time.

 

The FE was $1199 and the reference cards were $999. There's slide during the presentation that shows the reference cards advertised right below the FE cards. Not that tech outlets cared about it though. Most non-A cards are blowers or low end AIB cards.

this is information i was not aware of, thankyou. the ln2 mode on my 2080ti is about to get... modified.

My Asus Strix OC RTX 2080 (not a 2080 ti) also gets ID'd as "Rev. A" in folding@home as I recall.

 

Never knew whether that meant an initial batch of the chip before they changed something to prevent the "space invaders" bug (although I thought that was memory-related now that I recall) or if it meant a higher-binned "A" chip to put in factory overclocked cards.
