Palit

Palit has just two models for Turing as well:

  • Palit GeForce RTX 2080/2080 Ti GamingPro OC  - TBA / S$1,799
  • Palit GeForce RTX 2080/2080 Ti GamingPro  - TBA / TBA

The naming is pretty self-explanatory, and it seems like the OC cards will be clocked higher than their non-OC counterparts. Other than that, the cards look identical and there are more differences between the RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti models.

For starters, Palit has gone with a golden shroud for the latter and a pinkish-red color for the former. The fans also look slightly different, and the wavy fan blades on the RTX 2080 Ti models look like the TurboFan blades on Palit’s JetStream cards.

Finally, the RTX 2080 Ti cards are thicker than their RTX 2080 counterparts, measuring 58mm thick to the RTX 2080’s 40mm. This means that they’ll need a 2.5-slot allowance, while the RTX 2080 will only require two slots.

 

Zotac

Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Triple Fan

Last but not least, Zotac has attempted to differentiate between its GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti offerings, with just one shared model between the two cards:

  • Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Triple Fan - S$1,799
  • Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 Ti AMP - S$1,859
  • Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 AMP - S$1,299
  • Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 Twin Fan - S$1,259
  • Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 Blower - S$1,239

The RTX 2080 Ti Triple Fan is the first of a new series of Zotac cards. It features a larger and thicker aluminum fin stack array and five 8mm copper heat pipes that Zotac says can dissipate heat more effectively than previous-generation designs.

Zotac also added a die-cast metal jacket layer that covers the entire PCB. This provides additional structural reinforcement and serves as another outlet for heat dissipation.

The fans can also rotate independent of each other, which means that they don’t all have to operate at the same speed. This helps keep noise levels down, because some of the fans can run at lower speeds when the situation calls for.

On top of that, Zotac is using an updated fan design that has been optimized to direct airflow more effectively toward the heatsink.

The AMP card shares the same design and dimensions, and it seems like the main difference between it and the Triple Fan card is going to be their respective clock speeds.

The GeForce RTX 2080 Blower will probably appeal more to those looking to build a powerful, small form factor system. It dumps heat out the back of the case, which is pretty useful when airflow is a concern.

In addition, it is more compact than the other cards, requiring just a 2-slot allowance compared to the 2.5 slots the other cards require.
