Global Price Trend
GeForce RTX 2080 global price trend, indexed to 100 at the start of the period. Listings from Germany are excluded.
This trend is built from other regions and is shown as an index rather than a price: each line starts at 100 on its own first week, so 90 means prices are 10% below that line's starting level. The two lines are indexed separately and cannot be compared to each other. Listings from Germany are excluded entirely, so these are not prices for Germany and cannot be converted into them. Live prices for Germany are shown above.

Overview
The GeForce RTX 2080 sits at the high end of NVIDIA's Turing lineup, launched in September 2018 alongside the RTX 2070 and RTX 2080 Ti. It succeeded the GTX 1080 from the Pascal generation, carrying the step up to hardware-accelerated ray tracing that defined the RTX series.
The RTX 2080 pairs 8GB of GDDR6 memory with Turing's 1st-generation RT cores, Tensor cores, and support for DLSS 1. Its rasterization performance is a clear step above the RTX 2070, and it brings enough headroom to push ray-tracing features in titles that supported them at launch — though DLSS at this stage was still maturing. A TDP of around 215W keeps power demands in a reasonable range for a high-end card.
This card is aimed at 4K gaming at medium-to-high settings and high-refresh-rate 1440p play. It suits enthusiasts who want strong performance across demanding titles and an entry into hardware ray tracing without reaching for the significantly more expensive RTX 2080 Ti.
