GeForce & Cyberpunk: from RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 3080 to RTX 4080
NVIDIA came up with another cyberpunk 2077 themed GPU.
In 2020, NVIDIA launched a special edition graphics card featuring a design inspired by the then-upcoming game Cyberpunk 2077, utilizing the RTX 2080 Ti as its base. This exclusive release saw only 200 units produced, with a select few—77 to be exact—being awarded during a unique competition. These graphics cards have since become highly sought after, often fetching high prices on auction sites.
Moving forward, NVIDIA took another step in this thematic direction by introducing the even more exclusive RTX 3080 Cyberpunk 2077 Edition. Crafted by NVIDIA’s own GeForce Garage modders, this singular edition became a coveted item through an exclusive giveaway on the Chinese social platform Weibo, with just one of these cards ever made.
Most recently, NVIDIA has announced a new giveaway that brings the Cyberpunk 2077 theme to its latest RTX 4080 model. This latest edition pays homage to the Cyberpunk 2077 narrative, specifically the Arasaka corporation, and breaks the mold with its unique black and chrome design palette, a departure from the traditional color scheme associated with the game.
The recent NVIDIA giveaway, exclusively available to participants in China, presents a unique challenge for enthusiasts: to compose original music inspired by the Cyberpunk 2077 universe and share their creations on social media before January 2nd. This creative competition, which commenced in mid-December, will culminate in one talented winner receiving the highly coveted RTX 4080 graphics card. Moreover, runners-up won’t walk away empty-handed, as they stand to receive exclusive Cyberpunk-themed apparel and custom-designed mouse pads as consolation rewards.
