Evga Nvidia Geforce Rtx 2080 Ti Graphic Card, 11 Gb Gddr6
But we’ve just reviewed our first gaming laptop that’s lasted into the double digits. With results like that, we expect gaming laptops will match their non-gaming counterparts sooner than later. Our most power efficient gaming laptop ran over 11 hours and sits on our longest-lasting laptops page. The is the most powerful graphics card I’ve ever tested – the benchmark scores prove that.
However, if you intend on sticking to HD gaming then buying a RTX 2080 Ti is overkill. The difference between the RTX 2080 Ti and GTX 1080 Ti’s performance when the resolution is set to 1920 x 1080 is barely noticeable. The older, cheaper, still on sale, GTX 1060 and GTX 1050 Ti also play most games at this resolution. Yup, there wasn’t really a noticeable difference between the graphic cards’ benchmarks.
In April 2020, Nvidia announced 100 new laptops licensed to include either GeForce GTX and RTX models. The EK-Quantum Vector FTW3 RTX 2080 Ti D-RGB high-performance water block is an evolution of the EK-Vector FTW3 RTX that was specially designed for the EVGA® FTW3 version of NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards. These water blocks use the signature EK single slot slim look and cover the entire PCB length. This sophisticated cooling solution will transform your powerful EVGA graphics card into a minimalistic, elegant piece of hardware with accented D-RGB LED lighting. The block also features a unique aesthetic cover over the block Terminal which is designed to showcase the graphics card model via addressable D-RGB LEDs, visible from the side.
Unlike existing graphics cards, these include dedicated RT cores to vastly improve real-time ray tracing performance, putting the Holy Grail of gaming graphics within reach. Also unlike existing graphics cards, the GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti include dedicated tensor cores to leverage the awesome power of machine learning and a Saturn V supercomputer in the games you play. Ray tracing is the headline-grabbing feature, and it gtx 1090 sounds great, but the practical benefits remain unknown outside of snazzy demos. Plenty of games will likely support it in the future, but the real test will be whether the next generation of consoles will offer support. Game developers are increasingly creating titles that are designed to scale across a variety of hardware. If there is any company that can push ray tracing, it’s Nvidia, but it will still be a challenge.
But over time, with the release of more games with ray-tracing, it might be a clever investment. So putting an RTX 3080 into a machine with, say, a first-generation Ryzen CPU might hold it back, whereas the gtx 1090 could be utilized to its fullest. The same can be said if you don’t have a 4K or high-refresh rate display, as the full power of the RTX 3080 could go to waste.
