Test Setup and Clock Speeds

Intel i7 6850K
ASUS X99 Strix

Clock Speeds
Despite its position somewhat in the middle of the MSI range of RTX 2080Ti cards, the Duke overclocks well and the cooler is strong enough to keep the average boost clock speed very near to the peak too. Peak boost is fine for advertising, but nobody plays games for a minute, we play them for hours, thus average boost clock is the true measure of performance.

All the 2080 Ti cards are nice, it all comes down to cooling and warranty as to which is best for you.

Also why not include power limit in the review ? When paying 1200 smackeroonies for a GPU all this is useful information. I think sometimes people forget what the OC in OC3D stands for

My opinion on power is that I want more performance for less Watt per hour
The moment I see a card with 3 connectors, I move on without any temptation!QuoteQuote:
