ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2080 SUPER 8GB
The ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is a factory-overclocked graphics card built on the NVIDIA Turing architecture. It delivers 3072 CUDA cores paired with 8GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit interface. The card connects via PCI Express 3.0 and offers two HDMI 2.0b ports, two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs and a USB Type-C connector. It targets enthusiasts who want high frame rates at 1440p and entry-level 4K gaming.
Suits 1440p high-refresh and 4K entry gaming
This model suits players who run 1440p monitors at high refresh rates or who want playable 4K performance in modern titles. The 8GB frame buffer and 15500 MHz effective memory clock provide headroom for texture-heavy workloads. Users planning heavy 4K ultra settings, professional VRAM-bound rendering or multi-GPU compute clusters should look at cards with larger memory buffers and wider buses.
8GB GDDR6 handles 1440p ultra and 4K medium
The 8GB GDDR6 memory comfortably handles 1440p ultra presets and 4K medium to high settings in most current games. At 4K ultra with heavy texture packs or in memory-intensive creative applications the 256-bit bus and 8GB capacity become limiting factors. Boost clocks reach 1860 MHz in OC mode and 1830 MHz in Gaming mode, giving extra compute headroom before VRAM saturation occurs.

Questions about this item
Will my motherboard need a specific PCI Express slot for this RTX 2080 SUPER?
The card uses a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot; any motherboard with that slot will mechanically and electrically accept it.
Can I keep my older monitors that only have HDMI 1.4 inputs?
Yes, the two HDMI 2.0b ports are backward compatible and will drive HDMI 1.4 displays at their native resolutions.
How can I verify the GPU is hitting its 1860 MHz boost clock in OC mode?
Run a load test in GPU Tweak II or similar software and watch the real-time clock readout reach 1860 MHz.
