IGame RTX 2080 Advanced OC Evaluation: Specifications
It can be seen that the specifications of iGame RTX 2080 Advanced OC are basically the same as those of Volkswagen RTX 2080, but the core frequency is increased from 17 10MHz to 1800MHz, and the performance will be slightly improved compared with Volkswagen RTX 2080.
IGame RTX 2080 Advanced OC Evaluation: Brief Analysis of Appearance
In appearance, iGame RTX 2080 Advanced OC has designed three fans, and the size of the fans on both sides is larger than that in the middle. The radiator is made of metal, and the tough lines and corners also make the radiator look like metal armor, full of fighting atmosphere.
The fan in the middle adopts iGame's classic red circle design, the inside is chamfered by CNC technology, and the middle is a ring light belt. In addition to colorful RGB backlight, you can also adjust various lighting modes and colors through software. It's cool to just light up the energy reactor in Iron Man's chest.
In addition to the fan in the middle, the iGame LOGO on the side of the graphics card also has an RGB backlight, which is synchronized with the lights in the fan area when it is lit.
The graphics card adopts a brand-new NVLink SLI bridging technology at the top, which can provide bidirectional bandwidth as high as 100GB/s between two RTX 20 series graphics cards. It should be noted that the 20-series graphics card only supports 2080Ti and 2080, but RTX 2070 does not.
IGame RTX 2080 Advanced OC has integrated metal backboard on the back, and the surface is brushed with metal.
The power supply specification is consistent with the public version, and it is designed for 8+6pin. Similarly, the size of the 6pin part is the same as that of the 8pin part, but the two holes are blocked.
In terms of interface, this generation RTX 2080 cancels the DVI interface, so that the graphics card * * * has three DP 1.4 interfaces, an HDMI interface and a USB Type-C interface. The addition of Type-C interface is a boon for VR equipment, which supports 35W external power supply in addition to data transmission. In the future, only one Type-C line is needed to connect the VR head display.
Identification of advanced OC of colorful iGame RTX 2080: disassembly and analysis
IGame RTX 2080 Advanced OC radiator has a very large volume. Five 8mm thick heat pipes penetrate under the fully covered radiator, and the large nickel-plated steam chamber is in contact with the core. According to official data, the film adopts "vacuum borneol" technology. The basic principle is to form an independent capillary structure by filling condensate and hot wool powder in the vacuum compressed hyperplane sealed cavity, and quickly conduct and dissipate the heat of the heat source through the phase change principle, thus improving the original one-dimensional linear heat dissipation mode of the heat pipe. "The specific actual heat dissipation performance will be tested later.
There is also solid silicone grease to assist heat dissipation in memory and power supply response, and the overall heat dissipation specification is very luxurious.
On the PCB, this generation of public RTX 2080 can be called very conscientious in materials, and the first non-public RTX 2080 mostly adopts the public version scheme, which can not only ensure the production capacity but also reduce certain costs. Our iGame RTX 2080 advanced OC is no exception.
The specific model of GPU is TU 104-400A-A 1, and it is manufactured by TSMC12nmfn process. * * * With 2944 CUDA cores, the core area of this generation RTX 2080 is much larger than that of the previous generation 1080, reaching 545mm square millimeters.
In terms of memory, the GDDR6 memory of Magnum is adopted, and the capacity of a single memory is 1GB, and ***8 chips make up the specification of 8 GB and 256 bit.
The power supply is also equipped with 10 phase digital power supply, of which 8 phases are the core and 2 phases are the memory power supply.

Theoretical performance test
In terms of benchmark performance, 3DMark is used to test the performance of DX 1 1 2 and DX 12 respectively, and the score of graphics card is selected to reduce the interference of other variables.
In the three tests of DX 1 1, the performance of iGame RTX 2080 is 5%-10% behind that of GTX 1080, but compared with GTX1080, IGAMERTX 2080 is obviously improved and overall ahead.
IGame RTX 2080 is ahead of GTX 1080Ti, and it is significantly ahead of GTX 1080, leading by about 40% in the time spy and time spy limit project for testing DX 12 performance. In other words, compared with the previous generation, iGame RTX 2080 will have more obvious comparative advantages in supporting DX 12 games.
Furmark is used to test heat dissipation. The room temperature is about 26℃, and the platform is running naked. In standby mode, the video card fan stops running, and the temperature is stable at about 42℃. In Furmark's one-and-a-half-hour baking machine test, the temperature of the graphics card did not exceed 70℃, and the overall heat dissipation performance was excellent.
Colorful iGame RTX 2080 Advanced OC Evaluation: Game Performance Test
For friends who want to buy a new 20-series graphics card, RTX real-time ray tracing and DLSS deep learning oversampling must be the main motivation to attract you, but no game can provide real-time ray tracing. To know the specific effect, you can click on the demo video below.
The next three games will be tested: Tomb Raider, Monster Hunter World and Jedi Escape. Set the picture quality to the highest, turn off vertical synchronization, and test the game performance at 2K and 4K resolutions respectively. Built-in benchmarks are preferred for testing projects, and games without benchmarks should be tested in the same scene as far as possible to reduce errors.
Tomb Raider Shadow is a game that supports DX 12, and the overall test score is also in line with the previous 3DMark score. The scores of 2K and 4K are slightly ahead of 1080Ti, but significantly ahead of 1080.
In the two DX 1 1 games, the results of iGame RTX 2080 are better than those of 1080Ti. In Survival of the Jedi, even at 2K resolution, it can display 95 frames, which is very powerful. At the same time, Survival of the Jedi will be the first game to support DLSS oversampling. After the update, the performance of the frame will be greatly improved, that is, the display refreshed at 2K resolution 144Hz can also have full picture quality.
On the whole, in the actual game performance, iGame RTX 2080 is better than GTX 1080Ti in 3DMark running, DX 1 1 and DX 12 are slightly ahead of GTX 1080Ti, and significantly ahead of GTX/Kloc.
Colorful iGame RTX 2080 Advanced OC Evaluation: Evaluation Summary
IGame RTX 2080 is much better than GTX 1080 in benchmark test and game performance, and is basically at the same level as GTX 1080Ti in actual game performance. However, considering that the current game application can not give full play to the strength of RTX 20 series, there will be some differences in experience after a large number of 3A masterpieces are updated to support RTX real-time ray tracing and DLSS deep learning supersampling.
In terms of price, iGame RTX 2080 Advanced OC costs 6599 yuan, which is more expensive than Volkswagen RTX 2080 100 yuan, but it brings more personalized appearance and stronger heat dissipation ability. The maximum temperature of a fully loaded baking machine in one and a half hours does not exceed 70℃, which is much better than the public version and gives the author a good impression. This seems to be very good value. With the listing of more and more non-public graphics cards and the arrival of the Double Eleven, the cost performance will be higher, and interested students can pay attention to it.
