Konklusion
Gigabyte RTX 2080 Xtreme Waterforce er for personer, der ønsker det bedste af det bedste inden for RTX 2080 serien. Man får et kort der er lettere pre-overclocket, men som også er monteret med en stor 240mm baseret AIO køler, som indbyder til at man presser kortet til det yderste. Men 4års garanti, så er der rig mulighed for at afprøve kortet og få den sidste dråbe ydelse ud af kortet ,uden at være bange for at "ødelægge" noget.
Dog skal man være forberedt på prisen !.
Innovation/Teknologi - 5
RTX 2080 er baseret på NVIDIAs helt nye Touring arkitektur, som gør det muligt at lave real time raytracing og meget andet. Kortet er også det første til at bruge de nye hurtigere GDDR6 RAM og er udstyret med 8 GB.
Design/Layout - 4
Vandkøling og massere af RGB lys er noget der tiltaler gamerne og entusiaster, og med et design der er moderat aggressivt, så passer kortet ind i de fleste PC builds i dag. God og støjsvag køling trækker karakteren op, men for at ramme et 5 tal, så skal Gigabyte forbedre deres fanshroud med mere robust materiale.
Software - 4
Gigabyte vedlægger deres egen software til at overclocke og styre RGB belysningen med. Om det er noget man vil gøre brug af, er meget individuelt. Men softwaren er funktionel og stabil med et venlig UI interface.
Ydelse - 5
Ydelsen ligger en enkelt procent over tilsvarende RTX 2080 modeller, så det er ikke her man skal forvente det store i ekstra ydelse. Den ekstra ydelse får man ved selv at overclocke. Dog sammenlignet med tilsvarende produkter på markedet hvor den eneste konkurrent egenligt er nVidias eget GTX 1080Ti, men som er på vej ud af markedet, så har RTX 2080 pt ingen konkurrenter lige nu. Dog ligger AMD VEGA VII i horisonten omkring februar måned, som muligvis vil tage kampen godt op med RTX 2080 kortene. Som landet ligger på, så er RTX 2080 kun overgået af RTX 2080Ti. Gigabyte's RTX 2080 Xtreme Waterforce har grundlæggende en god ydelse, men for at få fuld potientiale ud af kortet, så skal man selv overclocke kortet.
Pris - 2
Med en startpris på knap 8000kr, så ligger vi i den meget høje pris ende af skalaen for RTX 2080 modeller. Kortet er næsten 2000kr dyrer end modeller med luftkøling og som ca. yder det samme. Man må sige, at man virkelig betaler for AIO løsningen Gigabyte har valgt at montere på kortet samt al RGB lyset.

hereUK summary
Gigabyte RTX 2080 Xtreme Water force is for people who want the best of the best within the RTX 2080 series. You get a card thas pre-overclocked, but which is also fitted with a large 240 mm based AIO cooler, which invites you to be pushing the card to the limit. There's a 4 year guarantee, so there is plenty of opportunities to try test the card and get every last drop of performance out of the card, without being afraid to "destroy" something.
However, one must be prepared for the price!.
Innovation/Technology-5
RTX 2080 is based on NVIDIA's brand new Touring architecture that makes it possible to create realtime raytracing and more. The card is also the first to use the new faster GDDR6 RAM and is equipped with 8 GB.
Design/Layout-4
Water cooling and plenty of RGB light is something that appeals to gamers and enthusiasts, and with a design that is moderately aggressive, the card will fit into most PC builds today. Good and quiet cooling pulls the grade up, but to be hitting a 5 figur grades, Gigabyte must improve their fanshroud with more robust material.
Software-4
Gigabyte includes their own software to overclock and control lighting with RGB. Whether it is something you want to make use of, are very individual. But the software is functional and stable with a friendly UI interface.
Performance-5
The performance is a single percent over competing RTX 2080 models, so it is not here you should expect something extra performance. The extra benefit do you get is by overclocking it yourself. However, compared to similar products on the market where the only competitor "is NVIDIA's own GTX 1080Ti, but which is on the way out of the market, then the RTX 2080 has no competitors right now. However, with AMD VEGA VII on the horizon around February, which possibly will take the fight well up with RTX 2080 cards. Rigth this moment the only to surpass the 2080 RTX is the RTX 2080Ti. Gigabyte's RTX 2080 Xtreme Water force has basic a good performance, but to get the full potential out of the card, then you should overclock the card.
Price-2
With a starting price of just under 8000kr, so we are in the very high price end of the scale for RTX 2080 models. The card is almost 2000kr more than models with air cooling and those performs almost similar. It must be said that we really pay for the AIO solution Gigabyte has chosen to mount on the card as well as all RGB light.
