Reviews last updated: June 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming

  • Exceptional 4K gaming performance, often exceeding 60 FPS on ultra settings.
  • Highly efficient cooling systems that keep temperatures typically between 60°C and 75°C under load.
  • Significant overclocking headroom, particularly on the FTW3 and XC Ultra models.
  • Robust build quality and premium aesthetics with customizable RGB lighting.
  • Access to real-time ray tracing and DLSS technology for improved visual fidelity.
  • Top-tier customer support and a generous 3-year warranty from EVGA.

What we don't like about EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming

  • Extremely high initial and retail price point, often cited as poor 'bang for your buck'.
  • Large physical footprint (up to 2.75 or 3 slots), which may not fit in smaller cases.
  • High power consumption, requiring at least a 650W to 800W quality power supply.
  • Audible coil whine reported by some users during heavy gaming loads.
  • Steep performance hit when enabling ray tracing features in early supported titles.
  • Sub-par experience with EVGA Precision X1 software, noted for being unintuitive or prone to crashing.

Verdict

The EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming is an enthusiast-grade graphics card built on NVIDIA's 12nm Turing architecture, featuring the powerful TU102 GPU with 4,352 CUDA cores, 68 Ray Tracing cores, and 544 Tensor cores. It is equipped with 11GB of GDDR6 memory on a wide 352-bit bus, delivering a high bandwidth of 616 GB/s and a typical boost clock of 1545 MHz.
