NVIDIA can resume supplying one of its largest gaming video cards to date, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. According to a forum post posted on the Quasar Zone, a user received a newly produced batch of the GeForce video card GTX 1080 Ti after sending your old 1080 Ti to RMA.
NVIDIA quietly producing new batches of GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Pascal GPUs. Should the definitive video card for games return to combat supply problems?
It has been over four years since NVIDIA launched its main Pascal graphics card, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Based on the Pascal GP102 GPU, the GTX 1080 Ti has offered a huge performance boost over the generation’s flagships Maxwell’s previous experience and completely destroyed the competition with rival AMD’s only response being the Vega 64, which only managed to compete with the GTX 1080. The card caused a great deal of damage to AMD that it took several years for the red team to launch a response from AMD. tip for NVIDIA. Only at the end of last year did AMD make a competitive return in the segment of high-performance video cards and gaming enthusiasts with its Big Navi GPUs.
So yes, in summary, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti was a great card of its time and still offers great performance, but is the card coming back? Well, according to the Korean Forums, a user RMAed his old GTX 1080 Ti video card and received a new one and what is surprising is that the production date of the card is 2021. The whole excavation was done by our friend Twitter, Harukaze as you can see in his tweet below:

The card is more specifically an EVGA SC model and another user pointed out that the FTW model he received recently also has a production date of 2021. Since EVGA issues a 3-year warranty on its NVIDIA GPU-based graphics cards, no No it makes sense to produce new batches of a card that has been replaced by more recent offers, or even if it were to be used as a guarantee, most replacement units are produced in the beginning, instead of four years after launch. It may be possible that EVGA used its replacement units to keep up with the shortages at some point and produce newer units now, but it is just speculation.
NVIDIA recently resumed production of its older GTX 1050, GTX 1650 and RTX 2060 series graphics cards to combat the shortage of GPU and gaming graphics cards. It is likely that the GTX 1080 Ti is also returning in these desperate times, but we have to wait to verify this report before marking it as confirmed. We will keep you informed as soon as we hear more information about the situation surrounding the reproduction of GTX 1080 Ti video cards.
