Palit Gaming Pro OC RTX 2080
The battle of the titans rages on this week, as we continue our coverage of the latest Nvidia RTX graphics cards. Today, we have the Gaming Pro Oc from Palit, and I’m quite looking forward to this one. A lot of the RTX cards features massive coolers, which is a real downer for those tight on space. While the Gaming Pro OC is still a “big” card, it’s one of the few new ones that sticks with a strict 2-slot design. Furthermore, it doesn’t have extra width and sticks within the size of the rear PCIe bracket. Does the “smaller” cooler mean smaller performance? Well, that’s what we’re here to find out.
While the card does have a bit of RGB, a bit of an overclock, and a custom cooler, it’s nothing too outlandish. This is nice and simple if anything, and as such, it’s not as heavily overpriced compared to say, the Founders Edition, like some of the flagship models.
Features
- 2944 Cuda Cores
- 8 GB GDDR6 Memory
- 1815 Boost Clock

User reviews
Performance
GPU clock speed
1515MHz
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.
GPU turbo
1815MHz
When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
pixel rate
116.2 GPixel/s
The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
floating-point performance
10.69 TFLOPS
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
texture rate
334 GTexels/s
The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
GPU memory speed
1750MHz
The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
shading units
Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.
texture mapping units (TMUs)
TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.
render output units (ROPs)
The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.
Memory
effective memory speed
14000MHz
The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.
maximum memory bandwidth
448GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.
GDDR version
Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.
memory bus width
256bit
A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.
Supports ECC memory
✖Palit GeForce RTX 2080 GamingPro OC
Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption.
It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.
Features
DirectX version
DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
OpenGL version
OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
OpenCL version
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.
