Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming OC 11 GB Graphics Card Review
Product Info
Last week, NVIDIA finally released their GeForce RTX 20 series graphics cards. Taking a complete departure from traditional GPU design and creating a hybrid architecture that includes a range of new technologies to power the next-generation immersive gaming experiences. The key highlight of the GeForce RTX 20 series was the enablement of real-time raytracing which is the holy grail of graphics and something NVIDIA spent 10 years to perfect. In addition to raytracing, NVIDIA also aims to place bets on AI which will play a key role in powering features such as DLSS or Deep Learning Super Sampling, a unique way of offering the same quality as the more taxing MSAA AA techniques at twice the performance.
We looked at the performance in detail of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and GeForce RTX 2080 FE cards and thought them to be a good gain over their predecessors, the GTX 1080 Ti and GTX 1080. When it comes to pricing, the GeForce RTX 20 series are some of the most costly graphics cards NVIDIA has offered to consumers. The reference variants are great with their new cooling design and good looking shrouds but AIBs have also prepped their own custom models which would rival the FE (reference) cards.
With just a few bucks of asking price over the reference models, the custom variants will offer a range of features such as triple fan coolers, bulky heatsinks, and custom PCBs allowing for better heat dissipation, higher air flow and more overclocking performance and clock stability at their respective boost clocks which will be higher compared to the reference variants.
One such custom model is the Gigabyte Gaming OC, which comes in both RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 flavors. Featuring an updated design over the previous Gaming variants which was available on the flagship GTX 1080 Ti last year, the new model supports even better specifications and a re-designed cooler which looks awesome.
It’s worthy to note that the Windforce 3X cooler that the Gaming OC is using is the refinement of their previous Windforce cooler with an array of three heavy-duty fans, offering higher heat dissipation than the previous models.
Today, I will be testing the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming OC model which comes with the triple fan Windforce 3X cooling system and incorporates a factory overclock for faster performance than the reference variants.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti review
TechRadar Verdict
Whether you’re looking for a more powerful graphics card or get a jump start on Nvidia’s vision of a ray-traced future, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is the world’s most powerful GPU on the market.
TODAY’S BEST DEALS
Why you can trust TechRadar
Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.
Soon, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti will be usurped by the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 and 3080, which were unveiled at the company’s September 1 event. That’s saying a lot considering that it’s remained unbeatable for so long.
Still, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card remains a monster in the gaming department. It brings impressive ray tracing technology and AI-driven Tensor cores to any graphics driven task, and is able to produce over 60 fps in 4K when gaming. Without a doubt, it’s a massive step up from its predecessor, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. So much so that it’s easy to forgive that hefty price, if you can afford it.
Once you invest in the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, it’s hard to look back if you want high-end gaming. Especially if you pair it with the best processor and gaming monitor, both of which really help you get the most out of it.
Price and availability
- Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti at Amazon for $999
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition rings up for an almost obscene $1,199 (£1,099, AU$1,899). Although you’ll be able to find this graphics card at a starting price of $1,049 (about £837, AU$1,390), that’s still way more expensive than the Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, which touted a $699 (£669, AU$1,129) price tag.
Still, while AMD has already showcased its new mid-range AMD Navi cards, they haven’t so far released anything to really contend with the RTX 2080 Ti’s performance. The highest-end GPU they’ve shown us so far is the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, which is going to be in direct competition with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070.
At the moment, its closest competitor remains to be the $499 or £549 (about AU$690) Radeon RX Vega 64, which was really designed to compete with the Nvidia GTX 1080.
Do bear in mind before you purchase that Nvidia will be launching its Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super soon, so we would wait to see what that card is capable of before you jump on the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti bandwagon.
Specifications and features
Though it costs almost twice as much as the graphics card its replacing, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti does deliver some breathtaking specs with 11GB of GDDR6 VRAM, 4,352 CUDA cores and a boost clock of 1,635MHz.
It’s all thanks to Nvidia’s first ever self-implemented 90MHz factory overclock. Comparatively, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti sports 11GB of last-generation GDDR5X VRAM, 3,584 CUDA cores and a 1,582MHz maximum frequency.
This GPU also features two additional types of cores its predecessors never had, in the form of RT and Tensor cores. The RTX 2080’s Ti’s 68 RT Cores power ray tracing, which allows this graphics card to render much more complex, real-time lighting scenarios and natural shadows than the 1080 Ti ever could.
In the meantime, 544 Tensor Cores bring artificial intelligence (AI) into the mix, which Nvidia hopes to use for more efficient anti-aliasing. According to Nvidia, Turing is eight times faster at processing anti-aliasing than Pascal via machine learning. Additionally, Tensor Cores drive a new technology called Deep Learning Super Sampling, which can increase resolution while applying anti-aliasing at the same time.
During our testing, we ran the Epic Infiltrator benchmark, which stacks a version of the experience up temporal anti-aliasing against DLSS.
The former was able to maintain a frame rate between rendered a minimum of 34 frames per second and maximum of 117 fps, while the later churned out between 35 and 89 fps.
You’ll also find a surprising number of new ports on this new GPU. The high-bandwidth connector Nvidia has used for years for multi-card setups has been replaced by NV Link, promising 50 times the transfer bandwidth of previous technologies. The RTX 2080 Ti specifically has two of these connectors to deliver up to 100GB of total bandwidth, which you can use to power multiple 8K monitors in surround.
Around the back, there’s also a newly added USB-C video out port that has become prevalent among new monitors. The USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 port supports UHD video and also pipes out 27 watts of power, so you may only need to plug in one cable to power up future virtual reality headsets.

The Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti – and the whole Turing-based RTX series, for that matter – brings the first dual fan cooling system ever seen on an Nvidia Founders Edition (a.
k.a. reference) card.
Typically, first-party cards have always come with a blower-style cooler that essentially sucks in cool air through its fan to funnel heat through the back of the card. A dual-fan system, meanwhile, basically takes cool air and splashes it against an open heatsink to exhaust heat in every direction.
While blower-style coolers are good for isolating heat from the rest of your components, their cooling capacity has been historically much smaller, because a single fan can only move so much air. Dual and multi-fan systems, on the other hand, can move much more air, but end up leaving more accumulated heat inside your PC case. This debate among many in the computer industry as to which is better has yet to be resolved.
Aside from the new fans, the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti also sports a full-length vapor chamber to cover the entirety of the card’s printed circuit board, or PCB. With this and the dual-fan system, Nvidia has promised the whole system works to deliver ultra-cool and quiet performance.
During our own tests, we found the Founders Edition’s new cooling system to work just as promised, keeping the GPUs running cool and quiet. However, it seems like the new coolers were much more of a necessity rather than Nvidia let on, as both the RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 ran a few degrees hotter than their predecessors – even while at idle.
Even though neither graphics card went above 80-degrees Celsius, we can imagine they would have overheated easily, had they come equipped with a standard blower-style cooler.

Performance
After benchmarking the card thoroughly, we can confidently say that the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti is currently the most powerful consumer graphics card in the world.
It not only runs laps around the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, but also outpaces the Nvidia Titan Xp – and not just by a small bump. Nvidia’s new flagship GeForce card holds a 2,000 point lead in almost every synthetic benchmark and delivers at least 10 more frames per second (fps) in each of our gaming-based tests.
Nvidia was already comfortably ahead of AMD, and now it’s almost as if the company jumped into the next galaxy with the RTX 2080 Ti. The $799 (£749, AU$1,199) RTX 2080 is the only graphics card that comes close, and consistently nips at the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti’s coattails in all benchmarks. However, the RTX 2080 fails to completely break the 60 fps barrier of 4K gaming.

Higher is better Higher is better Higher is better Higher is better
Outside of benchmarks, we could finally play Destiny 2 at an incredible 70 to 100 fps while the game was running at 4K HDR on Ultra. Meanwhile, the recently released Shadow of the Tomb Raider played at a fairly high 50 to 55 fps with similar 4K Ultra settings.
Regrettably, outside of ray tracing demos, there were no games that actually support it at the time of our review. We couldn’t say, therefore, how Nvidia RTX affect performance. What we can tell you is that Shadow of the Tomb Raider and other games with Nvidia RTX turned on looks stunning with ray tracing turned on.
At Nvidia’s GeForce Gaming Celebration event at Gamescom 2018, we saw Nvidia RTX deliver much more realistic with different intensities everywhere depicted in a stony ruin in the rainforest. We also just gawked at the walls, seeing them shimmer as light reflected and refracted off of them.
In terms of frame rate, an early build of Shadow of the Tomb Raider ran at a mostly consistent 40 to 50 fps, which is impressive giving the game is running on a single GPU – on top of all the new ray tracing techniques.
We also played Battlefield V and Metro: Exodus with Nvidia RTX turned on, and saw performance run in excess of 100 fps at 4K and Ultra settings. You can see our Battlefield V with Nvidia RTX gameplay above (we shared it with PC Gamer), which was captured through the Nvidia GeForce Experience app.
Surprisingly, to reach this level of performance, the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti actually draws less power than the Titan XP and 1080 Ti it outpaces. That said, this GPU does draw twice as much minimum power and gets hot quick, so be sure your PC is ready to exhaust all that heat before installing it.
Final verdict
Whether you’re a PC gamer who has been waiting in the wings for a more powerful graphics card or you truly believe in Nvidia’s vision of a ray traced future, the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti is the new top dog in the world of graphics cards and a sound investment for you.
After seeing the realistic lighting that ray tracing can produce, we honestly don’t want to go back to traditionally rasterized, murky puddles where we expect there to be incredible reflections. Plus, more and more games are joining the list that support the new technology, with Cyberpunk 2077 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare being the latest ones to do so.
Tensor Cores, on the other hand, look like they’ll pay long-term dividends by reducing the overhead of anti-aliasing and super sampling.
The prohibitively steep price of the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti is going to put the brakes on for a lot of interested users. The $799 (£749, AU$1,199) RTX 2080 is an almost equally appealing graphics card featuring stunningly close performance to Nvidia’s flagship card.
However, if you were already thinking about spending just as much on an equally expensive $1,199 (£1,149, AU$1,950) Titan Xp, just skip ahead to the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti.

Review, reviews, temperatures and mining
In this review, we will look at the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING OC video card from Nvidia.
The card is equipped with 2×8 Pin power connectors and consumes from 260 watts to 275 watts depending on overclocking, miner and algorithm.
With optimal overclocking through MSI Afterburner, the card delivers about 1050 Kh/s on CryptoNightV7, 49.9 Mh/s on Ethash.
| Features | MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti DUKE |
|---|---|
| Video memory | GDDR6 11GB |
| Processor frequency | Overclocking frequency: 1650 MHz |
| Power consumption | 260 watts, at full overclock 275 watts |
| Power connectors | 2x-8Pin |
| Length | 29 cm |
| Noise | 38 dB |
| Weight | 1026 gr. |
How much you can earn
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING OC best mines the following algorithms: Zhash, Ethash, Equihash (96.5), Equihash292.7.
Algorithms that bring a little less profit per day are next, but they can also be considered for mining on this map. These are NeoScrypt, CryptoNightV7, X16R, X16S, TimeTravel10.
And finally, algorithms, the mining of which is not profitable at all (by mining them, you will not make a profit, but will go into the red) or, at best, you can pay for the electricity spent. These are Equihash, CryptoNight, LBRY and many others.
Note that there are coins on profitable algorithms that are unprofitable to mine on this video card. This is due to their course, complexity and other factors.
We also add that if you want to receive coins of unprofitable algorithms, then you can resort to the “pseudo mining” technique. In this case, you must mine any coin of a profitable algorithm and sell it on the exchange in exchange for a coin of an unprofitable algorithm.
Let’s give concrete examples. All tests were completed on 10/10/2018, that is, the difficulties and prices for the given coins are relevant as of 10/10/2018.
Consider the mining behavior of the Gigabyte 2080 TI video card. On the Ethash algorithm, the Callisto coin per day from 1 video card comes out:
- Total coins — 81.9 CLO.
- Dollar equivalent of mined coins — 1.05 $
In general, this is a good result for a video card for which the miners have not been updated yet. Also, with the release of a tablet that will reveal the full power of GDDR6, a video card based on this algorithm will bring even more.
For comparison, consider mining the same algorithm and the same Callisto coin on a Gigabyte 1080 TI video card without a tablet. Per day from 1 video card goes:
- Total coins — 61.7 CLO.
- Dollar amount equivalent to mined coins — 0.8 $
For example, let’s immediately consider mining on Gigabyte 1080 TI but with a tablet.
Per day from 1 video card goes:
- Total coins — 90.5 CLO.
- Dollar equivalent of mined coins — 1.17 $
Yes, taking into account the 1080 TI tablet, it brings much more on the Ethash algorithm, but this will change when the miners are updated and the 2080 Ti tablet is released.
For example, without tablet 1080 TI brings ~ 36 Mh/s. With tablet ~ 55 Mh/s. It turns out that thanks to the tablet, the increase in productivity has become ~ 65%. If a tablet under GDDR6 gives about the same increase, then we will be able to observe ~ 80 Mh/s on the Ethash algorithm. But this is provided that the tablet appears at all and will have the same gain as the 1080 TI.
In general, even without a pill, we see good performance on this algorithm.
Below is the mining of the Ethash algorithm, Ethereum coins on 2080 TI Gigabyte GAMING:
Next, consider a less profitable CryptoNightV7 algorithm, for example, the Graft coin.
Per day from 1 video card goes:
- Total coins — 38 GRFT.
- Dollar amount equivalent to mined coins – $0.67
With this algorithm, we get a noticeably lower profit, but the coins of these algorithms can still be considered for mining.
Finally, there are unprofitable algorithms. Everything is clear here: the extraction of these coins is either at best an outlet, or even in the minus.
Here is an example of the Equihash algorithm, Zcash coin. Per day from 1 video card goes:
- Total coins — 0.0025 ZEC.
- Dollar amount equivalent to mined coins – $0.29
Taking into account the deduction of the price for the socket, the mining of this algorithm is unprofitable, that is, you will go into the red.
Recall that you can resort to the technique of «pseudo mining» with unprofitable algorithms and thereby receive these coins.
The same method can be applied to less profitable algorithms.
To do this, you must mine any coin of a profitable algorithm and sell it during the day in exchange for a coin of a less profitable algorithm. But you need to sell mined coins of a profitable algorithm during the day for a reason. This is due to the fact that if you do not sell them, the exchange rate of this coin may fall tomorrow (as an example) and then you will receive the same number of coins as you would receive with direct mining of coins of a less profitable algorithm, or even less in the worst case.
Power consumption and memory
The video card is equipped with 2×8 Pin power connectors and consumes from 260 watts to 275 watts depending on overclocking, miner and algorithm, where 75 watts go through the riser (or PCI-e connector in the motherboard), and the rest 185 Watts or 200 Watts go through 2×8 Pin connectors from the power supply (PCI wires).
For a farm of 6 Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING graphics cards and a connected system (motherboard, processor, hard drive, coolers and other peripherals), 1 power supply for 1900 watts or 2 power supplies of 1000-1050 watts.
You can find out how to power a farm with 2 power supplies on our website.
Also on our website you can choose a great block for mining: the corresponding section contains detailed articles about different power supplies: their configuration, efficiency, drawdowns, ripple, analysis and much more.
Gigabyte GAMING is equipped with 11 gigabytes of GDDR6 graphics memory. Micron is most often supplied, Elpida is a little less common. The video card we are considering has memory from Micron.
Which coins can be mined?
As we wrote earlier, it is most profitable to mine coins of the Ethash, Equihash292.7 and ZHash (Equihash244-5) algorithms.
Next are algorithms that will bring a little less profit per day, but still the coins of these algorithms can still be considered for mining — these are NeoScrypt, PHI1612, TimeTravel10, X16R.
Below are the coins that are profitable for mining on this video card.

Comparison with analog line of video cards
Video cards of the 2080 TI series are very different from each other. This is due to the cooling system, build quality, price.
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING video card has a very good cooling system, both internal and external. The card cools well and does not overheat. It cools noticeably better than, for example, the MSI 2080 TI, and is on par with the Asus 2080 TI.
The build quality is also very good. All parts are made of high quality plastic and other elements. The assembly itself is also good.
In terms of price, the card is not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either.
It is in the middle price range.

As usual, let’s traditionally start the review of the video card with coolers. The card is equipped with 3 large coolers of 82 mm each, which cover almost the entire area of the video card.
According to the manufacturer, the cooler protects the graphics card from dust. However, here we see almost the same system as in 1080 TI. This means that for 2-3 months of continuous work in mining (24/7), the video card will be covered with dust.
We advise you to turn off the farm once every 2-3 months and blow out the video cards from dust. This will help the mechanism to work longer in coolers, as dust will interfere with normal operation (this is the most common breakdown). And also quite a bit, but it will cool the video card.
Next comes the backplate (on the back of the video card). It serves to protect against damage. The backplate is installed quite competently and has good ventilation holes on the sides. In the place where the GPU is located, there is no cutout in the backplate. It’s just a whole plate for the entire back of the PCB.
Let’s move on to the analysis of the video card. Having removed the backplate and unscrewed all the screws, we disassemble the card into 2 parts: the printed circuit board and the internal cooling system (we will start with it).
The internal cooling system consists of a massive radiator grill that runs across the entire PCB area.
A plate with a cutout in the middle, in the place where all the thermotubes are connected, adjoins the grate. In this place, we can observe the thermal paste, which is closely adjacent to the GPU.
Thermal stickers are also glued to this plate, which serve for additional cooling of the memory and VRM.
There are also thick copper heatpipes running through the entire radiator grille, which serve to remove heat from the video card.
Let’s move on to the printed circuit board. She looks very good.
Wiping off the thermal paste, we can see the GPU.
As we wrote earlier, cards are most often supplied with memory from Micron. This video card is no exception. Also, the memory is additionally cooled with thermal stickers. Note that they are slightly different from the previous version. New gaskets shouldn’t leak, which was a big problem with Gigabyte’s 1080 TI.
Next, we can observe the VRM area.
Let’s move on to thermal images.
Thermal images
| Measuring point | Celsius) |
|---|---|
| M1 | 58.2 |
| M2 | 55. 1 |
| M3 | 53.4 |
| M4 | 65.4 |
Having installed a thermal camera on the side of the backplate, we cannot be sure of 100% quality of the indicators, since the backplate slightly distorts the temperature readings.
However, we are seeing rather low temperatures.
M1 — 59 degrees. This is the area of the GPU.
M2 — 55 degrees. This is the VRM area.
| Measuring point | Celsius) |
|---|---|
| M1 | 30.1 |
| M2 | 29.8 |
| M3 | 34. 7 |
| M4 | 49.9 |
| h2 | 69.9 |
By placing a thermal chamber at the top of the card, we can see that the coolers are doing their job well and pushing the residual heat out of the card well.
The hottest spot is h2 — the GPU area, more precisely, the upper part of the video card above the GPU area. We can see that the heat is not inside the map, but on top of it, that is, it is dissipated.
Conclusion
In general, the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING video card turned out to be very good.
It has an excellent cooling system, both internal and external. The card does not overheat above 67 degrees in the GPU area and does not go above 72 degrees in the VRM area.
In a large dense rig of 6 cards, Gigabyte also feels very good and does not exceed the temperature of the GPU more than 71 degrees, and the VRM does not exceed 76 degrees.
