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 Overview

The GALAX GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER WTF is the flagship variant in the Work The Frames RTX SUPER family. Yeah, that's what GALAX decided to name the card but as a product, the card is pretty good, in fact, there are some unique elements to the design which have been used that look great. The card is super long, packing a 2.7 slot design and a triple-fan cooling solution. There's also RGB, a non-reference PCB, a factory overclock which is expected of custom RTX 20 SUPER series cards, however at a premium price of around $750 US.

In addition to the custom design, the RTX 2080 SUPER Work The Frames comes with a non-reference PCB, featuring an 8+2 phase DrMOS design that features higher quality components than the reference variant which is already a really good design by itself. In terms of clock speeds, the graphics card features the same base frequency of 1650 MHz but the boost clock is rated at 1860 MHz over the Founders boost of 1815 MHz.
