Verdict and Conclusion
The GIGABYTE RTX 2080 Super Gaming OC 8G graphics card represents GIGABYTE’s continued commitment to bring to the market the best versions of Nvidia’s flagship graphics cards. Always competitive with the competition from other manufacturers, GIGABYTE sweetens the deal by outfitting their signature WINDFORCE 3X cooling, and boy does the cooler do its job well. The noise levels in relationship to the card’s thermals are perfect! On top of that, you get an out of the box overclock and an amazing 4-year warranty to boot!
I am pleased to see the inclusion of a metal backplate, even though the card does not necessarily need it from a cooling standpoint. The metal backplate really does add to the overall aesthetics of the graphics card. I was also hoping for more RGB lighting presence, however, less can be more depending on your individual needs. Needless to say, these are just personal preferences and do not affect the performance of the card. More importantly, which is why this card is still an absolute winner. Well done GIGABYTE!
