GIGABYTE GV-N208SAORUS WB-8GC GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER graphics card

AORUS RTX 2080 SUPER 8GB water-cooled GPU

The GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GV-N208SAORUS WB-8GC is a refurbished graphics card built around the NVIDIA RTX chipset with 3072 CUDA cores. It targets enthusiasts who want factory water-block cooling and a 1860 MHz core clock in a single-slot PCI Express 3.0 x16 package. The 8GB GDDR6 frame buffer runs on a 256-bit bus at 15500 MHz effective.

Upgrade from air-cooled RTX 2080

Moving to this WATERFORCE model replaces a standard air cooler with a full-cover water block, lowering thermal headroom for sustained 250W operation. The jump is worth it when your loop can absorb the heat and you need the 12+2 power phase delivery for stable overclocking beyond stock 1860 MHz. Two 8-pin connectors feed the board.

Fits custom loops with 650W PSU and NVLINK spacing

The card requires a 650W supply, two 8-pin cables, and an open-loop kit with compatible fittings for the integrated block. A metal back plate adds rigidity and RGB Fusion 2.0 sync. Seven outputs — three HDMI 2.0b, three DisplayPort 1.4, one USB Type-C VirtualLink — drive up to four 7680 x 4320 displays at 60 Hz. 2-way NVLINK bridge slots sit on the top edge.
