Overall
After the test, the overall performance of this Asus RTX 2080 Dual O8G the verdict is simple: a little bit better than the GTX 1080 Ti with Ray Tracing and DLSS. As the price in Australia is around $1479, the CP value may not be good enough to encourage true gamers to dig into their wallet, we expect a lot of people to wait for the Asus Strix series gaming cards.

Overall, Ray Tracing has become the future of PC games, the lastest 3A games will implement this technology as a standard function. RTX series card will help us to enable the realistic world of new games and VR/AR experiences. With GDDR6, Tensor core and DLSS technology, we will actually feel the light and shadow. Plus, Nvidia will brings their NVLINK, AI package and Boost v4 later to enhance the new graphics card, not only the 2080 or 2080Ti but also the latest Titan.
