I received my new card yesterday and so far I'm loving it. It's the coolest running air cooled card I've ever owned, never gets above 58°C while gaming. Anyway, I noticed that it has no port dust covers for the display, HDMI and USB ports. Is this normal? All my previous cards always came with port covers.

    Yes this is normal. The only covers that come with the card are the rubber pieces for the NVLink bridge, the PCI-e slot, and the Bracket.

    Okay, thanks Jacob. I will probably buy some separately then. I kind of like covering up the unused ports on my card.:)

    There a pain to always remove and add back when messing around with multi monitors.

    We've gone forever without them but it's something new the past few years.

    I'm fine with none! Hehe one less thing to deal with and store.

    I have an EVGA GTX 1070 ti and a GTX 1080 ti that I'm going to sell. I guess I could just use the port covers from one of these for my 2080. I know the port covers aren't really necessary but my 2080 just kind of feels incomplete without them.:)

    Any ideas where I can get my hands on one of those NVLink bridge port covers? I recently RMA'ed my card and the card they sent back to me was lacking a cover..  I too feel somehow it's incomplete without one.
