We start with our photo-shoot. A few pages that show the ins and outs with photos, all taken with an in-house photo-shoot of course. It's not needed, but if you move around the PC for say a LAN party, you could use the included metal strut to really secure the card. It is not needed for sagging or anything as the PCB is reinforced internally as well.

Look at that design, isn't that a gorgeous thing to look at? Slim, not too heavy and simple color tones. I like that, but of course, taste differs per person, sure. The DUKE revision of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti powered by NVIDIA's biggest offering in Turing, the A revision TU102 graphics processor combined with 11 GB GDDR6 memory ticking and tocking at a data rate of 14 Gbps. The product will sell for roughly 1250 euros (at least it should be in that range), in the USA you are looking at something similar in price. The card has very nice looks with that new all dark and grey design. There are very subtle RGB LED lighting elements embedded only at the top side, and once powered on they do look nice. You can configure them at anything you like with MSI software of course. The card is based upon a nice matte black PCB and uses two 8-pin power headers. Mind you that the card is 2.7 slots thick, long (32cm) but not at all heavy (under 1 kg).

The new model has a triple-fan design. The card has one HDMI port and three DisplayPort connectors as well as a new virtual link connector for VR purposes. The GeForce RTX series has DisplayPort 1.4 connectors 1.4a Ready, enabling support for 8K displays at 60Hz. This card includes three DisplayPort connectors, one HDMI 2.0b connector, lacking and sorely missed is the dual-link DVI connector.  

  • Boost: 1,655 MHz / Base: 1,350 MHz
  • Memory 14.0 Gbps GDDR6 (effective data-rate)

I can imagine this card looks fantastic in any dark PCB themed PC, and with the  Mystic Light RGB LED lighting system, you can match the topside logo RGB schema of your PC to match this card.
