I was wondering if there are any EVGA blower type 2080-TI cards on the horizon?  I want to use them for GPU-computing applications, deep-learning/ai and other HPC, etc, and would like to put 4-gpu's on an extended motherboard, such as the Asus SAGE series. Asus has the "turbo" cards, but I've been a loyal EVGA customer for a long time.
 
The thicker, multi-fan boards aren't ideal for this kind of application, while the much maligned blower cards are generally better since they can stack up denser and exhaust heat out of the case on their own. 
 
Currently using a pair of Titan-V cards and not entirely thrilled with them. The 2080ti looks like a more cost effective solution, especially if the FP16 performance is reasonably close. Using standard precision FP32 math, my pair of Evga 1080ti SC2 with hybrid kits are actually faster than the Titan-V's.  The Volta really scream on FP16 math when the tensor cores are engaged. Looks like the 2080ti might be the trick and a lot less money. Sure don't want to pop Quadro GV100 or Tesla V100, crazy $$$. 
 
 

They have already posted pictures on Twitter of the blower cards.

They look just like the hybrid cars without tubes coming out the side.

I couldn't find a picture but there is mention of a blower card in this article (in the SKU parts graph): https://www.evga.com/arti...geforce-rtx-20-series/

I can’t find the pictures right now, but I will once I boot my PC tonight.



Found it.

Almost looks like the Old GTX 690

Blower cards are good for smaller cases & SLI if your PC has few fans / poor air flow ---> they push the Heat Out of the Case

Also are easer to install a Full Cover Water Block.

Yeah, if it were just one card I'd not worry about it.
 
My application is a little different - I'm stacking 4 cards in close proximity to each other for GPU compute applications. The blowers are better for this configuration, thinner and they exhaust heat (potentially 800-1000 watts worth) out of the case.

I think the cost of the 2080ti means even on a small case you would have good airflow. It's pretty safe to expect that anyone buying one of these cards has got a really good case to go along with it.

Have a Dan A4-SFX v2 case and looking specifically for an EVGA 2080 blower so yes, you are right! :D

Again, I'm not gaming. :)
 
The truth is the blowers aren't bad as far as noise and thermal performance goes, as long as there's enough cool air for them to draw into the blower.  
 
I had been running a pair of EVGA 1080ti SC2 "black" edition cards. Was using the two-fan ICX as EVGA made them. In a big, old Cosmos case (like 10 years old!) they did ok. But when I switched to a Fractal Design Define R5 case, I found that hot air was pooling in the case, in spite of the numerous case fans on the R5 case. When I switched to the EVGA hybrid cooler kits, the GPU's stay very cool and run at max clocks (1992). 
 
The Titan-V's I'm running two of right now are blowers and under the maximum CUDA compute load I can invoke on them, never reach full TDP or temperature limits. The blowers ramp up to 67% and the Volta GPU's reach about 80c. The nvidia driver is limiting the GPU clocks in compute mode to 1335 (no matter what seemingly).  In graphics loads, the GPU clock is uncapped, but they power limit before they thermal limit and the fans are not objectionable at that point. 
 
But in my normal use-case, I'm running multiple GPU cards in headless server mode with no monitor at all. They're just crunching numbers.
 
Heck, if I could swing the capital budget, I'd pony up the $60k for a DGX-Station. This is how Nvidia jams it in there, with a custom 4-way, quad-directional NVLink between the four Tesla Volta cards, with a custom water-loop.  Beats me what cards they are, as they are unique to the DGX-Station. They are not Tesla nor Quadro cards as both of those have a single 8-pin power connector on the front edge of the cards. 
 
 
 I'm just trying to spread my budget as far as it will go while I'm in startup mode.  To build something that looks more like this:

Any updates to this? :D

Currently, everyone in this thread has the exact same info.

Necrobump - They came out very quietly this week in the UK.  I would have picked one up but they took so long to release that I changed my case so that I could fit a regular type of card without thermal meltdown
 
I would be interested in seeing some reviews on this. 
 

 
Would I be right in thinking this is essentially the Black non-A chip?

If anyone sees a review on this blower 2080ti by evga; please post!  
I am intrigued; my system needs a blower; but this late in the game; I would be more apt to wait for Nvidia's 2019 flagship GPU; should release around this August?   only 3 months more.  
This blower came out at a great price point, around $1100 looks like!   

I would have to say we are highly unlikely to see a new flagship card from NVIDIA this year. If we saw anything this year I feel it would be a partnership with like Microsoft for a new Xbox or with Nintendo. That would seem more likely in my mind then a product refresh.

Where have you heard that NVIDIA is making a new flagship GPU this year? As far as I know there are no plans for a year at least...

Maybe he is confused with AMD's flagship card releasing later this year.  It's rumored to be a Navi card with similar performance to the RTX 2070 (without real-time ray tracing hardware capability) for less than $400.

Well he's spreading this misinformation in another post too.  It's maybe from AMD he's confusing it with but not sure.

Nobuo, pls stop posting this in other threads unless of course you're just trolling.
