Huh, really? I don't know what the fuck is in my case then, considering that's exactly what my computer says it is

It’s a pretty rare card, it wasn’t on retail i think and is an “engineering sample”. I think it’s the best 2080 there is. Lucky bastard

Yeah I didn't buy it, an engineer who was a friend of my mom gave it to me when I was rebuilding my PC like 7 or 8 years ago because he didn't need it anymore.

Or he was trying to win points with my mom because he, for some reason, had no idea how to file his taxes and hadn't done so in 12 years and wanted my mom to do the paperwork for his back taxes lmao

Pretty wild you got a rare prototype for free. I wonder how it holds up compared to modern RTX cards
