A purported engineering sample for Nvidia's RTX 2080 Ti has surfaced online, except it's a "GTX" 2080 Ti with 12 GB VRAM and upgraded specs across the board. The card still has its RT cores and performs similarly to a regular 2080 Ti. It was discovered by a Reddit user who was repairing the GPU for a friend, and now it's been added to the TPU database, immortalizing it.

The computing market is absolutely ablaze with growth, and what's driving it is AI, of course. The most common headlines on this topic tend to revolve around GPUs, but the storage market is under heavy pressure as well - especially hard drive vendors who purportedly haven't done much to increase manufacturing capacity in a decade. The AI hardware crunch is hitting storage as well as GPUs. Sources say lead times for high-capacity hard drives have ballooned to more than a full year.
