Box pictures of Zotac‘s and MSI‘s new graphics card with the new NVIDIA RTX GPU has been leaked onto the net. The new GPU looks to be the first of many RTX powered graphics card from NVIDIA.

NVIDIA is expected to announce its next generation GPU chip within a few days, so the leaks of the graphics card are unsurprisingly starting to appear on news sites around the web. So far MSI and Zotac offerings have been shown online, with some hints to the power that the RTX will offer to the gamers.

The MSI camp will have at least two models out under the MSI GeForce Gaming X Trio brand – an RTX 2080 and an RTX 2080 Ti model. The former will have 11GB of GDDR6 RAM, while the latter will have 8GB of the same RAM. RTX cards are also the first in the market to feature the GDDR6 type memory.

For Zotac, the offering mirrors MSI, with both an RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti cards to be released by the Taiwanese company. The cards will be available in both Zotac Gaming and AMP branding.

All the cards will require dual 8-pin power connectors to run, and will feature three fans as part of the cooling solution. New to the RTX is the adoption of the USB Type-C VirtualLink  connector for VR headset, and a new NVLink bridge connector for presumably faster SLi connectivity between multiple cards.

We should be hearing more news on the RTX-based cards sometime this week, as NVIDIA prepares to launch the latest GPU family, based on the Turing architecture.
