NVIDIA's Turing TU10-based RTX T8-120 silicon is revealed to be a specific solution for its GeForce Now servers to support RayTracing.
A few days ago the Turing TU102 GPU was leaked under the name RTX T10-8. At that same time, there was talk about the possibility of this silicon giving life to the NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti Super. It was the AIDA64 software that revealed this silicon for which we had no data. But it seems that this RTX 10-8 will not be a commercial graphics card, but a solution for GeForce Now.
This week in Germany, NVIDIA announced that Ray Tracing technology will be coming to the GeForce Now Cloud Gaming system . An update to some servers of this platform in the United States revealed the use of the RTX 10-8. The patch notes for version 6.00.5151 beta, released on August 14, specifically mention this GPU.
The RTX 10-8 will be used for NVIDIA GeForce Now servers
The company's GeForce Now servers have been updated to offer ray tracing in games . This platform has been in beta for two years, and we don't know when it will be fully rolled out. The first servers to add support for this technology are those in California and Germany.
A very important update for USW2 servers built for this platform. But these solutions seem to perform well below what you would expect. Some have run 3DMark from Steam getting 50% less performance than previous Tesla P40s.
Apparently the power reduction is due to the fact that it has gone from 15GB and 24GB of VRAM in the P40, giving way to 7GB and 8GB of VRAM in these RTX T10-8. Possibly we are talking about silicon for RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 Super that have been defective. Added the problem that the servers work on Windows Server 2012 based on Windows 8. It does not support DX12 and RayTracing games, which increases the problem. We'll see if NVIDIA fixes these shortcomings shortly.
