Architecture
Architecture	Main figures follow NVIDIA's reference specification. Founders Edition raises boost clock and board power. Photo shows MSI's stock-clocked RTX 2080 AERO 8G partner board, which uses a blower rather than the Founders Edition's dual axial fans.	Main figures describe NVIDIA's reference specification; the Founders Edition has a factory overclock and higher power rating. The photo shows PNY's stock-clock 11 GB Blower, whose cooler differs from the Founders Edition geometry below. NVIDIA's original announcement named 20 September availability; its 27 September partner roundup confirms cards available by that date. The release month retains this shipment-date uncertainty.
