Nvidia claims the Turing TU102 chip in the 2080 Ti, with its 18.2 billion transistors, is the most powerful GPU ever placed in a GeForce graphics card, and as I'll discuss later in my benchmarks, that claim seems to hold up. There's 11GB of all-new GDDR6 memory, and the GPU boost clock has increased slightly from 1582 MHz on the 1080 Ti to 1635MHz. RTX 2080 Ti – SpecsThe RTX 2080 Ti is built on the Turing TU102 GPU and includes 4,352 CUDA cores an almost 20% increase over the GTX 1080 Ti Founder’s Edition. The latter is increasingly important if you’re using VR headsets. The RTX 2080 Ti has expanded I/O connections, including three DisplayPort 1.4, an HDMI 2.0b port, and a VirtualLink USB Type-C connector.

Nvidia also has encased the entire card in an aluminum shroud, which looks very sleek and clean. First, there’s dual fans and a full-length vapor chamber, which is obviously a better setup than the previous single-fan, 'blower' style cooler. Much like the RTX 2080, the RTX 2080 Ti does feature some design improvements from the 10-series Founder’s Edition. As usual, the Founder’s Edition cards tend to carry a slightly higher price tag than 'partner' cards, but demand has made them equivalent for now. The first RTX 2080 Ti I'm taking a look at is the Founder’s Edition, which is a first-party card released by Nvidia. As of this writing, 25 games have announced upcoming compatibility with DLSS. But the implications are profound, assuming Nvidia can get enough developers on board. Again, this technology isn’t ready for prime time as of launch, unfortunately.
