It provides 1 x HDMI 2.0b, 3 x DisplayPort 1.4 and 1 x USB Type-C for up to four monitors. Users requiring more than 8 GB VRAM, a newer architecture or a different form factor should consider other models.

PCI Express 3.0 x16 Interface

Compatibility hinges on a motherboard with a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and a power supply with the required connectors for this dual-slot card. The cooler measures 268 mm long, 114 mm wide and 42 mm high and weighs 955 g. Verify case clearance and PSU capacity before purchase.

Questions about this item

What are the exact length, height and slot width of the RTX 2080 VENTUS 8G so I can check case clearance?

The card measures 268 mm long, 42 mm high and occupies a dual-slot width of 114 mm, so verify your chassis has at least 10.55 inches of GPU length clearance and two adjacent expansion slots free.

Which power connectors must be plugged in during installation, and what is the common mistake?

Two 8-pin PCIe power connectors are required; the frequent error is seating only one connector or using a daisy-chained cable, which can cause instability under load.

How should the dual-fan cooler be maintained over time, and when might the thermal paste need renewal?

Use compressed air to clear dust from the heatsink fins and fan blades every few months; if temperatures rise noticeably after a year or two, remove the shroud, clean the old paste and apply a fresh thin layer on the GPU die.
