The Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 Super OC delivers excellent performance and quiet cooling, but its high price and large size limit its appeal to enthusiasts with compatible cases.
The EVGA RTX 2080 Super XC Hybrid delivers strong performance and superior cooling, making it a solid choice for enthusiasts. However, its higher price and audible pump noise are notable trade-offs.
The RTX 2080 Super delivers strong performance gains over the original RTX 2080, particularly at QHD and 4K resolutions, while offering better value at $699. Higher power draw leads to increased temperatures and faster fan speeds, but the card remains quiet and well-built.
“The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super is a more powerful graphics card than its predecessor, but the performance increase isn't enough to blow your mind.”
“Still, if you’re willing to pay for it, the RTX 2080 Super still delivers the best gaming performance in a graphics card you can get under $1,000.”
