BEST GAMING GRAPHICS CARD

ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX2080S A8G Gaming card ultimately came ahead because of its strong performanc­e in areas that really matter, such as cooling. Cooling is the one area where there's an obvious and measurable difference between the cards, so ASUS scores big points here. On top of that, it comes with several value-added features to help it stand out, such as additional RGB and fan headers. The card also features a BIOS switch to change fan profiles and a toggle button to instantly switch off its LEDs. Overclocki­ng performanc­e may be lacklustre, but no one else did well either, and it seems unfair to assign too much weight to overclocki­ng performanc­e given the possible variances between samples. The biggest drawback is its price. At S$1,499, it’s significan­tly more expensive than even the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio, which costs S$1,288. Still, the fact remains that this is the best performing card and the one with the richest feature set.
