About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GPU

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is a desktop graphics card by NVIDIA. It launched in Q3 2018 with a suggested retail price of $999. Its TU102 chip that powers the GPU uses the Turing architecture and is fabricated on the 12 nm process.

This GPU is paired with 11 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. Its 1,750 MHz memory clock and 352 bit interface gives it a bandwidth of 616 Gb/s. This impacts how much data it can store, and how fast it transfers the data to and from memory.

The RTX 2080 Ti is a dual slot graphics card, taking up 2 PCIe slots. It supports HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a, USB Type-C display ports. This desktop card has a TDP of 250 W. NVIDIA recommends using a power supply of at least 600 W with this card. A power supply lower than this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has the 29th highest 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 540 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 44.95% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 47,166 score and $999 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 47.21. This is the 67th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU

The GeForce RTX 4060 is a desktop graphics card by NVIDIA. It launched in Q2 2023 with a suggested retail price of $299. Its AD107 chip that powers the GPU uses the Ada Lovelace architecture and is fabricated on the 5 nm process.

This GPU is paired with 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. Its 2,125 MHz memory clock and 128 bit interface gives it a bandwidth of 272 Gb/s. This impacts how much data it can store, and how fast it transfers the data to and from memory.

The RTX 4060 is a dual slot graphics card, taking up 2 PCIe slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display ports. This desktop card has a TDP of 115 W. NVIDIA recommends using a power supply of at least 300 W with this card. A power supply lower than this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

The GeForce RTX 4060 has the 42nd highest 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 540 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 36.39% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 38,191 score and $299 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 127.73. This is the 4th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
