Built for 4K gaming and compute

This GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2080 ships with 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus and 2944 CUDA cores. It connects through PCI Express 3.0 x16 and drives up to four displays via HDMI 2.0b, three DisplayPort 1.4 outputs and a USB Type-C port with VirtualLink support. The card targets enthusiasts who need high frame rates at 7680 x 4320 resolution.

Sustained load behaviour with WINDFORCE 3X

The WINDFORCE 3X cooler uses alternate spinning fans to manage the 215W thermal design power during extended sessions. Two BIOS profiles let you choose between 1830 MHz in OC mode and 1815 MHz in Gaming mode, while the 14000 MHz effective memory clock remains stable. A 650W power supply with one 8-pin and one 6-pin connector is required for reliable operation.

Installation notes for a 287 mm ATX card

The ATX form factor measures 287 mm in length, so verify case clearance before fitting. The metal back plate adds rigidity but makes the card heavier, so secure the retention bracket firmly. Connect both the 8-pin and 6-pin power cables from the PSU, then install the latest NVIDIA driver for DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5 support.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the WINDFORCE 3X cooler run when the card draws its 215W TDP all day?

The WINDFORCE 3X system uses three alternate-spinning fans and a metal back-plate to move heat away from the 215W GPU; noise and temperature will vary with case airflow and fan-curve settings.

Which power connectors and PSU capacity are required before the RTX 2080 will start?

You need a 650W PSU with both an 8-pin and a 6-pin PCIe power cable free for the card.

Will the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface limit performance on an older motherboard that only has PCIe 2.0 slots?

The card fits a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot electrically; bandwidth drops to half of 3.0 but the RTX 2080 still runs, just with a small potential ceiling in very heavy loads.
