Nvidia does not like the idea that gamers run out of graphics cards because of cryptocurrency miners, so a possibility has begun to sound that the new GeForce GTX 2080 and GeForce GTX 2070 have special versions for mining.
GeForce GTX 2080 and GTX 2070 will have a version focused on mining
The GeForce GTX 2080 and GTX 2070 would arrive next April under the Ampere architecture, which is expected to be manufactured under Samsung's 14nm FinFET process, previously it had been said that it would be manufactured at 7nm, but this process It is not even remotely close to being ready for GPU manufacturing yet.

Another novelty from Ampere would be the introduction of GDDR6 memory, which will offer a significant increase in bandwidth with a manufacturing price much lower than that of HBM2 memory, availability will also be higher, so there will be no stock problems. new cards, at least not because of memory shortages.
Up to here everything was more or less known, the novelty is that the GA204 silicon will have two variants, GP104A and GP104B, the first being the gaming version and the second the mining version. The cards intended for mining could come without video outputs and with the PCI Express lanes cut, which allows to lower the cost of production of the card.
It remains to be seen if Nvidia will introduce any limitations on the gaming versions to prevent their use in mining, which would be great in order to avoid that the miners exhaust them from the stores, when there is no stock of the specific versions to mine.

The latest rumors suggest that the Nvidia GeForce GTX 2080 will be announced in May during the GTC event with a price of $ 1,499.

Although there is no official confirmation from NVIDIA about the launch of the next graphics cards GTX 2080 and GTX 2070, but little by little we are tying the dots.
