Nvidia was quite good in keeping a secret about both the naming scheme as well as all other details regarding its upcoming Geforce launch, at least until now, as pictures of both MSI and Palit Geforce RTX 2080/2080 Ti have now leaked online.

Published by Videocardz.com, it is not a big surprise, the pictures show MSI's RTX 2080/2080 Ti Gaming X Trio series graphics cards, MSI's Duke series RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 as well as Palit's RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 from the GamingPro series.

The pictures do not reveal a lot of details other than most partners will be using their well-proven triple- and dual-slot coolers, as well as the fact that there is no longer an SLI connector, but rather some sort of NVLink connector and the new Type-C virtualLink connector. The pictures also show that both the RTX 2080 and the RTX 2080 Ti will most likely need two 8-pin PCIe power connectors, although some models might get away with a 6+8-pin configuration as these could all be factory-overclocked models.

The pictures also reveal that the RTX 2080 Ti will come with 11GB of GDDR6 memory, while the RTX 2080 will come with 8GB of GDDR6 memory. The box also reveals that Ray Tracing will be a big part of Nvidia's marketing, which is no big surprise considering that this is the first GPU that managed to get to that graphics "Holy Grail" properly.
