Nvidia might have tooted the horn of its premium-priced, overclocked Founders Edition graphics cards during the ray tracing-filled reveal for the GeForce RTX 2070, RTX 2080, and RTX 2080 Ti, but they won’t be the only dual-fan versions hitting the streets on September 20. You’ll even see hardware with three fans, because Nvidia board partners like EVGA, Asus, and Zotac are readying a slew of customized GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards of their own.
let’s start with a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, because well, on paper it just looks awfully impressive in every aspect (aside from the $999 baseline price). If you’re going to risk preordering anything, grab one of those. Otherwise, this list is separated by vendor. Several additional models have been announced, including some popular ones like EVGA FTW cards with iCX Cooling and Triple-Fan Asus ROG Strix cards, but if you can’t buy them yet, we didn’t list them here.
GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti cards from EVGA
EVGA is another well-known GPU maker which has unveiled its versions of the RTX cards. Unsurprisingly, they're perhaps even more in line with the 'hardcore gamer' aesthetic.
EVGA RTX 2080 XC Gaming - $750 on Newegg
Another dual-fan RTX 2080
Base Clock: TBD | Boost Clock: TBD | Memory: 8GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 6 pin + 8-pin | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C | Dimensions: 4.5 x 10.6 inch (114 x 269.2 mm)
The EVGA RTX 2080 XC Gaming is another version of the RTX 2080 that has dual fans to keep it cool. According to EVGA, these iCX2 fans are 14% cooler and 19% quieter. The card itself can be customized, and EVGA Precision X1 software makes it easier to overclock this GPU. EVGA also has the RTX 2080 XC Ultra Gaming but information about that is thin on the ground at the moment. We'd expect it may come with a factory overclock to differentiate it from the EVGA RTX 2080 XC Gaming.
EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XC Gaming - $1,150 on Newegg
The RTX 2080 Ti version
Base Clock: TBD | Boost Clock: TBD | Memory: 11GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 2 x 8-pin | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C | Dimensions: 4.5 x 10.6 inch (114 x 269.2 mm)
The EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XC Gaming offers the same cooling system as the EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 XC Gaming above, but with the RTX 2080 Ti instead. There will also be an 'Ultra' version as well, but details are still thin on the ground for that.
EVGA’s overhauled Precision X1 overclocking software is looking slick.
GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti cards from Gigabyte
Of course Gigabyte has got in on the RTX action, and it has included triple fan cooling solutions, which may make these cards of interest to overclockers.
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming OC 8G - $830 on Newegg
Three fans are better than two
Base Clock: TBD | Boost Clock: TBD | Memory: 8GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 6 pin + 8-pin | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C | Dimensions: TBD
The headline feature of Gigabyte's cards are the WindForce triple fan cooling system, which comes with three 82mm fans with unique blade fans, six composite copper heat pipes, 3D active fan functionality and a lot more.
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Windforce OC - $1,170 on Newegg
The RTX 2080 Ti version
Base Clock: TBD | Boost Clock: TBD | Memory: 11GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 2 x 8-pin | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C | Dimensions: TBD
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming OC comes with the company's Windforce 3X cooling system, which features three alternate spinning fans. This means the middle fan spins in the opposite direction to the other two to optimise airflow. It also has a metal back plate and supports RGB Fusion for customisable LED lighting.
GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti cards from MSI
MSI has also got a selection of RTX cards with triple fan cooling solutions. Clearly, MSI is just as focused on cooling as Asus is, one of its biggest rivals.
MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio - $800 on Newegg
Another triple fan RTX 2080
Base Clock: TBD | Boost Clock: TBD | Memory: 8GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 2 x 8-pin | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C | Dimensions: 12.9 x 5.5 x 2.2 inch (327 x 140 x 55.6 mm)
The MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio has a design that matches MSI's previous GPUs, and comes with three Torx Fan 3.0 fans, with two sporting traditional fan blades, and one that uses a dispersion fan blade with a steeper curve to help promote airflow. It also includes MSI's Tri-Frozr design.
MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio - $1,200 on Newegg
The RTX 2080 Ti version of the above
Base Clock: TBD | Boost Clock: TBD | Memory: 11GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 2 x 8-pin, 1 x 6 pin | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C | Dimensions: 12.9 x 5.5 x 2.2 inch (327 x 140 x 55.6 mm)
The MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio is very similar to the RTX 2080 version, but obviously with more power. It features the same three fan cooling system, and both GPUs can be tweaked and overclocked with the MSI Afterburner software. It's worth noting that you need two 8-pin and one 6 pin power connectors to power this card, which is more than other 2080 Ti variants, so make sure you have enough space coming from your PSU if you go with this model.
MSI GeForce RTX 2080 8GB Duke OC - On Amazon
Big and beefy RTX 2080
Base Clock: TBD | Boost Clock: TBD | Memory: 8GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 2 x 8-pin | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C | Dimensions: 12.4 x 4.7 x 1.2 inch (314 x 120 x 50 mm)
The Duke series of RTX 2080 GPUs have a silver and black design which MSI claims gives it a 'classy look.' It does look rather nice from what we've seen, but with all the RGB lights blaring, I'm sure you can make it look as tacky as you'd like. There's no info at the moment about clock speeds, but with 'OC' in the name, this is another version with a factory overclock.
MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB Duke OC - On a\Amazon
The RTX 2080 Ti Duke
Base Clock: TBD | Boost Clock: TBD | Memory: 11GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 2 x 8-pin, 1 x 6 pin | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C | Dimensions: 12.4 x 4.7 x 1.2 inch (314 x 120 x 50 mm)
If you fancy an MSI Duke RTX graphics card then you'll be pleased to know it also comes as an RTX 2080 Ti. It has the same impressive design and three fan cooling system. Hopefully MSI will release more information about RTX 2080 Ti 11GB Duke soon, including what clock speeds it boasts.
GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti cards from Zotac
Zotac has also got some RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards lined up with its AMP brand. Zotac's GPUs are usually less flashy than some of its competitors, but also more affordable, so they could offer a decent way to get an RTX card.
Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 AMP! Edition - $840 on Newegg
Zotac's RTX 2080 offering
Base Clock: TBD | Boost Clock: TBD | Memory: 8GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 1 x 8-pin, 1 x 6-pin | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C | Dimensions: 12.13in x 4.45in x 2.24 inch (308mm x 113mm x 57mm)
The Zotac GeForce RTX 2080 AMP! Edition comes with active fan control, a new and improved fan design for better cooling, RGB lightning and software for easy customisation and overclocking.
Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 Ti AMP! Edition - $1,200 on Newegg
The RTX 2080 Ti with AMP cooling
Base Clock: TBD | Boost Clock: TBD | Memory: 11GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 2 x 8-pin | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C | Dimensions: 308mm x 113mm x 57mm (12.13in x 4.45in x 2.24in)
If you want to up your gaming PC's performance, then Zotac is also offering an RTX 2080 Ti version, with all the AMP! Edition features found with its RTX 2080 GPU. As with other manufacturers, the clock speeds have not been released yet.
And that’s every GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti you can buy today! In case it wasn’t clear, I suggest waiting for reviews if possible. The new GeForce RTX hardware is absolutely loading that looks amazing on paper, and there’s no doubt that the addition of new hardware types dedicated to ray tracing could fundamentally change PC graphics, but new frontiers mean uncharted territory.
Look. I write about GPUs for a living. I game at night when I’m not working. I love new graphics cards. Love . And just look at how the ray tracing is in this Battlefield V trailer:
But with so many questions involved here, and so much money on the line with this new RTX 20-series generation, it’s prudent to wait and see how these crazy kids run in the real world—even if it means prolonging the wait for a new graphics card yet further.
Stay tuned for updates because we are moving fast!
