Average Bench: 124% (40th of 714)

Based on 316,424 user benchmarks.  Devices: 10DE 1E87, 10DE 1E82 Model: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080

NVIDIA's RTX 2080 is based on its new Turing architecture which boasts new AI and ray tracing technology that could eventually result in better GPU performance. Unfortunately there are currently no games which can take advantage of these new capabilities. The early 2080 benchmarks only exhibit a modest (20%) performance improvement over the 1080 which considering the new price tag of $800 for the Founders Edition is hard to stomach. The 2080 features 2944 CUDA cores, a base/boost speed of 1515/1710 MHz, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s. NVIDIA have also released the 2080 Ti which has marginally higher specs together with a jaw dropping price tag of $1200 for the Founders Edition. The RTX 2080 features Turing NVENC which is far more efficient than CPU encoding and alleviates the need for casual streamers to use a dedicated stream PC. Unfortunately for gamers and other consumers, AMD’s top end GPUs such as the Vega 64 still lag NVIDIA's previous flagship 1080 Ti by 30% so there is very little pressure on NVIDIA to offer better value for money. The 2080 only has 8GB of RAM which is fine today but will likely haunt any early adopters that plan to keep the card for more than two years. [Sep '18 GPUPro]

Still only 8GB of memory and is beaten in price to performance by nvidia's previous top of the line card that was seen at the time of release as not very good value for money. This is the first time ever that an nvidia cards predecessor is an actual competitor.—Oct '18

It's still a very powerful GPU to but this day. But because of coin miner, the price is almost doubled up. Get a 3060ti or 3070 instead.
