NVidia is selling different RTX chip packages - Binning evolved

But i'm very very much against the apparent secrecy involved. If Nvidia wants to sell 2-3 different kinds of 2070, 2080 and 2080Ti. Their marketing material should explicitly mention this, and properly inform the customer.

What secrecy? This isnt stuff the consumer would normally be aware of anyway. 

 

The marketing is on the AIB partner since they are the ones that list their own specs. NVIDIA are responsible for their own first party cards, everyone else is responsible for theirs

Hmm in a way I kind of like it, would make the higher priced premium models less pointless.

I see nothing inherently wrong with Nvidia or the partners being able to sell different brackets.

 

This one is cheap and can't OC very well, but cheaper as a result.

This one is in the middle and not bad.

This is the extreme deluxe platinum ultra ultimate performance package (Nvidia Marketing team: that will bleep your bleep while it overclocks.)

 

etc. Just allows the customer to make a more informed purchase, does it not?

I'm ok with this, reduces the chance of getting a duffer!

Does this mean anything for GPUBoost?

Just like before, better chips will boost higher.

That is about it. As far as the news itself impacting GPUBoost: no impact at all.

 

In the future consumers will just know what they buy in advance and not be subject to luck or bad luck.

Maybe board partners can offer cheaper GPUs that won't have factory OCing and will boost lower, but that is uncertain, though likely.

I'm cool with this if it means kingpin/other brands flagship cards actually overclock better again on chilled water and not just ln2.
