BIOSTAR Expands Graphics Card Lineup with RTX 30-series and GTX 16-series Graphics Card SKUs

BIOSTAR sneakily expanded its graphics card lineup with GeForce RTX 30-series "Ampere" and GTX 16-series "Turing" custom-design graphics cards. The company didn't have these at launch, and for the past couple of years, remained as an AMD-exclusive board partner. The lineup includes a custom-design GeForce RTX 3080 10 GB graphics card with a triple-slot, triple-fan cooling solution; an RTX 3070 with a dual-fan, 2-slot cooling; and cards based on the GTX 1650, GTX 1660, and GTX 1660 Super. The cards come surprisingly late to the party—2 years late for the RTX 30-series, and almost 4 years late for the GTX 16-series. BIOSTAR probably landed itself a good deal with NVIDIA on supply of these GPUs as the company works to clear inventory and pave the way for its 40-series "Ada" GPUs across a wider price-range.
