NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 And RTX 2080 Ti Roundup: ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, PNY And Zotac

NVIDIA just dropped a massive bombshell on the gaming community with its GeForce RTX family of products, which include the RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080 and RTX 2070. If you want to know more about the Turing architecture that underpins these cards and about their ray-tracing performance, we suggest you check out our two previous articles on the Quadro RTX and GeForce RTX announcements, but here's a quick refresher on what separates the three:

• GeForce RTX 2080 Ti: 4352 CUDA cores, 1545MHz boost clock, 11GB GDDR6
• GeForce RTX 2080:     2944 CUDA cores, 1710MHz boost clock, 8GB GDDR6
• GeForce RTX 2070:     2304 CUDA cores, 1620MHz boost clock, 8GB GDDR6

With those baseline specs out of the way, here's a sampling of the cards available (or soon to be available) for pre-order from NVIDIA's OEM partners. We should note that base/boost clock speeds will vary widely between the listed cards, and that many OEMs list their frequencies as “TBD” at this point given that the official release is still a month away.

ASUS, as usual, has a pretty full lineup across Dual, Turbo and ROG Strix product families in both RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti flavors.

• Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming OC

MSI's new Gaming X Trio and Duke cards adopt a new triple-cooler design with LED lighting effects. The Aero line features a single, blower-style cooling setup, while Ventus adopts a dual-fan arrangement. Finally, the Sea Hawk features liquid cooling.

• MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio
• MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Duke

PNY has a simple lineup consisting of just three cards (at the moment). The top-of-the-line RTX 2080 Ti card has blower cooler and no frills, while the XLR8 features dual fans with LED lighting.

• PNY GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Blower
• PNY GeForce RTX 2080 XLR8 Gaming Overclocked Edition
• PNY GeForce RTX 2080 Dual Fan Graphics Card

Zotac is offering modest lineup, including an entry-level RTX 2080 Blower with an [obvious] blower-style cooling setup. The other three entries all use a triple-fan setup.

• Zotac GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Triple Fan
• Zotac GeForce RTX 2080 Ti AMP
• Zotac GeForce RTX 2080 Blower
• Zotac GeForce RTX 2080 AMP - $839

We’ll keep this list updated as more cards are announced.
