MSI confirms NVIDIA's problems to produce the new NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti

During an MSI conference, the important problems that NVIDIA has to satisfy the demand for RTX 2080 Ti graphics were highlighted.

A few days ago the first rumor appeared of a major shortage of NVIDIA graphics cards, specifically the Turing architecture. Although this rumor was plausible, it has now been confirmed thanks to the MSI Gaming New Appreciation Conference held in Shanghai where some of the MSI executives were present where they answered questions from the attendees and among the media was the local media PConline , which asked about the NVIDIA RTX stock issue rumor.

MSI confirms that NVIDIA has problems with the stock of Turing graphics.

Some of the most prominent questions have been how Donald Trump's 'policies' would affect the price of graphics in the United States, the development of the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Lightning that came to surprise users and even about the problems of NVIDIA to meet the demand for the RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080.

Liao Wei, General Manager of MSI Global and Graphics Products has said that NVIDIA's Turing chips are made by TSMC in Taiwan and Samsung memories are produced in South Korea and Hynix makes them in the United States. He stressed that the price of the graphics should not be affected but that we could be affected by the price of Intel processors that are manufactured in part in China and they also do not see it possible to change the price of AMD processors that are manufactured by TSMC.

Wei says that shipments of the RTX 2080 are going well, as far as possible, but that they have had problems with the RTX 2080 Ti that have a relatively small flow, which is due to low chip production. Problems are not uncommon as the GPU DIE is quite large and appears to be more difficult to produce than the GPU for the RTX 2080s.

Not only that, it has highlighted that the RTX 2080 Ti has 2.600 components while the GTX 1080 Ti has 1.600 components. The RTX 2080 according to Wei has 2.400 components and the RTX 2070 has about 2.200 components. According to the data provided, up to 1080 units were produced per day of the GTX 3.500 Ti, but in the case of the RTX 2080 Ti, only 1.800 units can be produced per day at full load.
