NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB Blower Fan

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is the highest-end GeForce model based on the Turing GPU architecture. This generation represents an incremental improvement in general graphics performance, as usual, along with the addition of two major features: dedicated RT cores for ray tracing and Tensor cores for machine learning inference. The RT cores are brand-new, while the Tensor cores have existed on previous Titan and Quadro cards - but this is the first time they've come to the mainstream GeForce series. This specialized hardware will allow for new functionality in games and GPU-accelerated applications, but will require such programs to be written specifically to utilize them in order to see much benefit. The 2080 Ti should be about 20-30% faster than the previous GTX 1080 Ti in normal GPU-limited situations, and even higher in applications that utilize RT and/or Tensor cores.

This particular variant has a single-fan "blower" style cooler. This won't be as quiet under load as a dual-fan design, when comparing individual cards, but since it exhausts most of the card's heat out the back of the computer it is much better for use in multi-GPU configurations.

Finally, in regards to connectivity, the RTX 2080 Ti has dropped DVI output entirely. There are still enough outputs for three monitors, though: one HDMI 2.0b and two DisplayPort 1.4. VirtualLink - a specialized Type C port combining DisplayPort, USB 3.1, and power - is also included, for single-cable connectivity to next-generation VR headsets.
