Community Feedback
What Owners Say
People love that it handles 1440p gaming without breaking a sweat. The common complaint is the high power draw and heat output for a card from that generation.
Pros
- Great for high-refresh 1440p gaming
- Runs cooler than the original 2080
- Handles ray tracing without choking completely
- Eight gigs is still enough for most games
Cons
- Memory bandwidth could be higher
- Still uses older 12nm process
- Noisy under heavy gaming load

Verdict
Our verdict on the RTX 2080 Super
A late-cycle Turing refresh that adds a modest speed bump over the standard 2080, but feels like a stopgap.
Get it if you want solid 1440p gaming and can find one cheap used. Skip it if you need modern ray tracing performance or more VRAM for newer titles.
Buy it if…
- Buy it if you need high frame rates at 1440p today.
- Buy it if you find a great deal on a used high-end card.
- Buy it if you want reliable ray tracing without breaking the bank.
