Several months ago NVIDIA informed board partners of new SKU variants for the GeForce RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 and at the time it was speculated there might be one in the works for its flagship card, despite not being announced, and now one has been spotted. It was previously said that the new 301 variants were due to a new design that allowed the removal of something called a voltage “kicker” or “comparator circuit”. It had been theorized that the removal of this would lower the BOM but that, so far, has not been seen. Surprisingly there was another change seen via MSI Afterburner. The voltage limit has been reduced from 1.1V to 1.07V. It is not yet known if this change is limited to just the Founders Edition or if custom PCBs from board partners will allow the previous voltage limit.
