Those prices are Nvidia's OC Founder's Editions. The non-OC versions are actually:

RTX 2080 Ti: $999

RTX 2080: $699

RTX 2079: $499

Thank you! Updated.

Are you sure the FE TDPs are different from the reference spec? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere else.

Ack, I can't edit my post again. Good catch. I'll message a mod and see if they can update it.

OK, I just found the FE TDPs listed on the NVidia site (2080 FE: 225W).

I assume the OC versions simply have a bit toggled in the VBIOS?

Probably better binning.

No, you're free to do your own OC. But how much OC your chip will be able to handle is unknown. It's called silicon lottery.
