GeForce RTX 2080 Founders Edition

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Founders Edition is a graphics card built on the RTX 20 Series architecture. It delivers 2944 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit interface. The boost clock reaches 1800 MHz with a base of 1515 MHz. It connects via PCI Express 3.0 x16 and draws 260 W through 6-pin plus 8-pin power connectors.

4K gamers and ray-tracing adopters

This card suits enthusiasts targeting 7680 x 4320 resolution and real-time ray tracing in supported titles. G-SYNC and HDR provide smooth, tear-free gameplay up to 240 Hz. Users needing more VRAM for heavy compute workloads or those restricted to a single 8-pin power cable should consider other options.

260 W TDP with dual power connectors

The thermal design power of 260 W requires both a 6-pin and an 8-pin PCIe power connection from the supply. Verify that your power unit provides these cables and sufficient headroom for the rest of the system. This single specification decides whether the card fits your build.

Questions about this item

Will the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface work in my older motherboard that only has PCIe 2.0 slots?

Yes, the card is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 x16 slots, though bandwidth will be limited to the 2.0 specification.

How can I verify the boost clock is reaching 1800 MHz after installation?

Use monitoring software such as GPU-Z or the GeForce Experience overlay to observe the core frequency under a 3D load.

Does the box include the NVIDIA RTX NVLink Bridge needed for SLI, or must I buy it separately?

The bridge is not included; it must be purchased separately to link two cards for SLI operation.
