RTX 2080 Ti at a glance

The RTX 2080 Ti is based on the Turing architecture and is manufactured using the 12 nm process at TSMC. It ships with 11 GB of GDDR6 on a 352-bit bus , about 616 GB/s. Shader count is 4352 across 40 CU/SM. The board interface is PCIe 3.0 x16.

Reference board power is 250 W with 2x 8-pin. This is manageable in a ventilated mid-tower, while compact builds require closer clearance and thermal checks.

VRAM capacity is entry-level at 11 GB. Best at 1080p / light 1440p. Newer titles at ultra can fill the buffer quickly.

Best fit: Basic gaming or display workloads where price, compatibility, and power matter more than high settings.
