GALAX GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER WTF 8 GB GDDR6 Graphics Card Review – Don’t Let The Name Get You!

GALAX GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Work The Frames Power Consumption

I compiled the power consumption results by testing each card under idle and full stress when the card was running games. Each graphics card manufacturer sets a default TDP for the card which can vary from vendor to vendor depending on the extra clocks or board features they plugin on their custom cards. Default TDP for the RTX 2080 is set at 250W while the GALAX custom model has a TDP of 275W.

Also, it's worth noting that the 12nm FFN process from TSMC is a refinement of their 16nm FF node. NVIDIA is cramping even larger amounts of transistors and more cores than their previous cards, making it one of the densest chips built to date. It's likely to consume a lot of power and the results are reflective of that.

WCCFTECH RATING

The GALAX GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Work The Frames is a solid performer all around, something that you can expect from a triple-fan cooled graphics card and the new RGB focused design looks very neat.
