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).

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.

The RTX 2080 has a dual-fan design, the product is more quiiet than the Ti. The card has one HDMI 2.0b port and three DisplayPort connectors as well as that VirtualLink connector for VR purposes (power for the VR headset can pass through here). The top side has a LED element, nothing RGB though, just the GeForce RTX logo straight in your face, all the time. The new design looks lovely alright, nice aesthetics.

  • Boost: 1800 MHz / Base: 1515 MHz
  • Memory 14.0 Gbps GDDR6 (effective data-rate)
Where the 2080 Ti cards have a power design of 260 Watts, the 2080 uses a bit less at 225 Watts under load. AIB partners applied complex phase designs as they overclock/tweak really well. So purely based on the tweaking design, expect some more variable allowances. We'll check into that with our power measurements. 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.
