The availability of NVIDIA’s flagship and next-generation GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards for gaming PCs has been pushed back to 27th September from its original date of 20th September which has been confirmed in a post by Anandtech.

NVIDIA Quietly Delays GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Market Availability By A Week, Now Available on 27th September – RTX 2080 and 2070 Market Availability Remains Unchanged

According to Anandtech, NVIDIA has quietly announced that the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has been delayed by a week before consumers can get their hands on one. Originally, the flagship graphics card was supposed to launch on 20th September along with the GeForce RTX 2080 but it looks like only the TU104 GPU based graphics card would be available on 20th. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti will now be available on 27th September.

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti general availability has shifted to September 27th, a one week delay,” moderator ericnvidia80 wrote. “We expect pre-orders to arrive between September 20th and September 27th. There is no change to GeForce RTX 2080 general availability, which is September 20th.

Market availability is one thing but NVIDIA also had pre-orders open for both cards prior to launch which means those would be affected as well due to the delay. It is stated that the pre-orders are expected to arrive between 20th and 27th

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is the flagship NVIDIA graphics card for gamers that is arriving in the GPU market for a high price of $1199 US for the Founders Edition and $999 US for the custom models. It is definitely the highlight of the GeForce RTX 20 series family and many gamers who pre-ordered or were looking forward to the getting one off the shelves on 20th would be disappointed that they have to wait a week more. Regardless, it’s just a week wait so its manageable but still a bummer for many gamers.
