NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Founders Edition – TU104 In Full Force

Synthetics, Power Draw, and Thermals

Firestrike Extreme

Firestrike is running the DX11 API and is still a good measure of GPU scaling performance, in this test we ran the Extreme version of Firestrike which runs at 1440p and we recorded the Graphics Score only as the Physics and combined are not pertinent to this review.

Time Spy

Time Spy is running the DX12 API and we used it in the same manner as Firestrike Extreme where we only recorded the Graphics Score as the Physics score is recording the CPU performance and isn't important to the testing we are doing here.

Thermals

Thermals were measured from our open test bench after running the Time Spy graphics test 2 on loop for 30 minutes recording the highest temperatures reported. The room was climate controlled and kept at a constant 22c throughout the testing.

Power Draw

Power draw numbers were taken from the total system power draw by measuring with a Kill-A-Watt. We ran Unigine Valley for 30 minutes and observed the highest sustained load. Something to keep in mind when observing total system power draw is that there are times where a GPU simply being faster and requiring more from the CPU can cause the total system power draw to increase with the like of the Core i9-9900K. That said, the total system power draw is still important as it is how much power it is taking to run the system.

WCCFTECH RATING

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER offers a measurable increase over the original RTX 2080 and those in the market for the Founders Edition will find themselves a welcome savings of $100 for that particular model.

Pros

• Fastest GDDR6 Memory
• More performance than the overclocked RTX 2080 FE
• $100 Less than RTX 2080 Founders Edition
• Quiet and cool thermal solution

Cons

• Not as exciting as the rest of the SUPER lineup
