Aorus geforce rtx 2080 xtreme has a 12 + 2 phase vrm

Gigabyte has shown a preview of its Aorus Geforce RTX 2080 Xtreme. The card will be equipped with a 12 + 2 phase VRM design, and has seven video output ports. As usual, however, a relevant detail of the Turing-based card is missing.

Aorus Geforce RTX 2080 Xtreme, the new beast from Gigayte with Turing architecture

The new Aorus Geforce RTX 2080 Xtreme graphics card is based on TU104-400 silicon with 2, 944 CUDA Cores, 184 texture units, and 64 rasterizers. Accompanying this core we find the usual 8 GB of GDDR6 memory with a 256-bit interface. Unfortunately, clock speeds have not been released, neither core nor memory.

Gigabyte is the first partner to announce a high-end card. However, the Taiwanese have said nothing about the card's clock frequencies. This causes controversy shortly before the market launch, on whether the selection of the chips has limited the manufacturer when it comes to applying factory overclocking, since we know that Nvidia offers two versions of each Turing chip, one of them with the factory overclocking. prohibited.

The card has 12 + 2 power phases and is cooled by a triple slot heatsink with three fans, it also features an RGB LED lighting system that can be programmed by software. Gigabyte has placed the central fan a little lower than the other two, this way you can put larger units without colliding with each other. It can be seen that a reinforcing backplate has been placed in the rear to give the assembly greater rigidity.

What do you expect from this new Aorus Geforce RTX 2080 Xtreme card? Do you think clock speeds should have been announced?
