NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8GB GDDR6
The Turing-based RTX 2080 Super delivers 11.15 FP32 TFLOPS and 8GB of GDDR6 memory with 496 GB/s bandwidth, enabling smooth 1440p gaming with dedicated ray tracing cores. Its dual-fan Founders Edition cooler maintains a compact 267mm length while handling the 250W TDP, fitting easily into most mid-tower cases. This card suits 1440p gamers seeking entry-level ray tracing effects in titles like Control or Metro Exodus without stepping up to the RTX 3080.
