WTF - type C port on RTX graphics cards

[Carbongrip]

Ok really, nobody is taking about this? There is a Type C port on the RTX  2080/2080ti, why did you have to do this to all of the cards... it completely ruins single slot water cooling these cards.

 

If someone really wants a type c port for the GPU then get a Type C to Displayport cable!

They did it for a single cable solution for VR display out. If you don't like it, don't buy an RTX Card.

Because I would need to hack saw off the DP port they stuck on second slot. Some people like to EK watercool and replace the back backet with a single slot. Allows us to use the other PCIE slot that gets blocked by 2 slot cards.

 

 

See the problem yet?

We're supposed to be upset at the Type C not in the way and not the DP that is? Lol okay

No it doesn't, I have to hack saw the DP port clean off even if IO Bracket was for Type C.

Mini necro

[spartaman64]

just buy a 2080 dedicated to water cooling

[Worstcaster]

The ports vary from card to card based on who manufacturers them.  One of the board partners will probably make a card which fits your water cooling needs eventually.

[Mick Naughty]

How about you just wait for another card that can be used as a single slot. 

Or get a better mobo setup and deal with the card. Or don't get the card at all.

Asus is releasing a 2080ti blower card (Asus GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Turbo) without the third Displayport above the USB-C port. Ask EKWB if they will make a single slot pcie bracket for RTX series.

Applevidia? Apple has nothing to do with this, and Apple and Nvidia aren't the best of friends either.

[Bcat00]

LOL I'm late to the party on this one but this post is so silly. "Why did they do this". As if graphics card manufacturers are going to base their decisions on the tiny minority of people who attach water blocks to their video cards.

[Wormhole]

its for VR
