EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER XC ULTRA GAMING graphics card

8 GB GDDR6 graphics card

The EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER XC ULTRA GAMING is a desktop GPU built on the Turing architecture with 3072 CUDA cores and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. A boost clock of 1845 MHz and 496 GB/s memory bandwidth deliver high frame rates at 1440p and entry 4K. The card uses a PCIe 3.0 interface and includes an all-metal backplate with adjustable RGB lighting.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This card suits gamers and creators who want hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI features in a single-slot-width design with dual HDB fans for quiet operation. It fits builds that can supply adequate power through standard PCIe connectors and have room for a 2.7-slot cooler. Buyers needing newer architecture features, higher memory capacity, or lower power draw should consider other options.

Deciding specification: 8 GB GDDR6 memory

The 8 GB GDDR6 frame buffer with a 256-bit bus and 15500 MHz effective clock determines whether this model fits your workload. Titles and applications that exceed 8 GB of VRAM at target settings will see reduced performance or require texture quality reductions. If your workflow stays within this buffer, the 496 GB/s bandwidth and 3072 CUDA cores provide strong throughput for rasterisation and ray-traced titles.
