Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti?

At 1440p Maximum, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti averages 60 fps in Elden Ring, per DSO Gaming. For local LLM inference it generates 72.9 tokens/sec running llama3.1:8b at q4_K_M under llama.cpp, per LocalScore.ai. In PassMark G3D Mark it scores 21,413 points, per PassMark. Its 11 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card is deepseek-r1:14b (14B parameters, q4_K_M), generating 45.1 tokens/sec under ollama, per geerlingguy/ai-benchmarks.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.

Local LLM inference throughput on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, in generated tokens per second for a single request (one user's generation speed). Higher is better; each row links to the community report or benchmark database it came from.
