ASUS GeForce RTX 2080 DUAL OC 8G review - Product Showcase

Product Showcase

We start off this review with our in-house photo-shoot. A few pages that show the ins and outs with photos, to get you a better idea to grasp what we are talking about in today's article (and we just know you like pretty pictures).  ASUS used the original TU104 GPU and the rest was built from the ground up.

And here she is, the little sister of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, the RTX 2080. It is making use of the same architecture, but don't let that fool you as it does use another GPU, the Turing TU104 graphics processor is tied to 8GB GDDR6 of graphics memory managing an effective data-rate of 14 Gbps. You will a dark designed matte black product, which does look a bit plainer. Mind you that the card is tick (2.7 slots), long (almost 27cm) and heavy (near 1.4 kg). 

The new model has a dual-fan design. The card has one HDMI ports and three DisplayPort connectors as well as a new virtual link connector for VR purposes. 

Founders card:

• Boost: 1800 MHz / Base: 1515 MHz
• Memory 14.0 Gbps GDDR6 (effective data-rate)

• Boost: 1800 MHz / Base: 1515 MHz
• Memory 14.0 Gbps GDDR6 (effective data-rate)

 
The GeForce RTX series has DisplayPort 1.4a ready connectors, enabling support for 8K displays at 60Hz. Lacking and sorely missed is the dual-link DVI connector. The card will look just fine in a dark themed PC.
