Getting the most from the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is a mid-range-class graphics card with 11GB of VRAM, best suited to 1080p Ultra and entry-level 1440p. To unlock its full performance and avoid a bottleneck, pair it with a Ryzen 7 or Intel Core Ultra 7, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a Gen5 NVMe SSD — a weak CPU or slow storage will leave frames on the table.

Modern games lean heavily on ray tracing and high-resolution textures, so DLSS 4 and FSR frame generation are what keep frame rates smooth on the most demanding titles, and its 11GB of VRAM is best kept to 1080p and 1440p textures. At this performance level the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti can also drive VR headsets like the Meta Quest 3 and Valve Index at a steady 90 FPS.

With a 250W board power, give the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti a quality 80 Plus Gold power supply with real headroom, and make sure it won't bottleneck your processor with the free Bottleneck Calculator, or size your power supply with the PSU Calculator.
