Enthusiasts conducted experiments on doubling the video buffer volume on the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti several years ago. Since then, Nvidia has managed to release two new generations of 3D gaming accelerators onto the market. However, amid the hype around artificial intelligence, support for 22 gigabytes of video RAM gave the former flagship GeForce RTX a second life.
On foreign trading platforms you can find modified GeForce RTX 2080 Ti video cards equipped with double the amount of GDDR6 memory. They are positioned as affordable solutions for AI tasks, such as working with large language models. Here you have to process huge amounts of data and a 22 GB video buffer will definitely not be out of place.
As the seller emphasizes, the video cards are thoroughly tested and there should not be any problems with drivers or stability of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 22GB. As for the price, they ask for $500 for an unusual accelerator. For modification, models with a “turbine” are used, which, for example, is important for dense installations in servers. Let us add that last year, for these purposes, the production of dual-slot GeForce RTX 4090 was launched in China.
