G20 Upgraded with ASUS RTX 2080 Turbo

Might be helpful so I share it here. I replaced my GTX 1080ti FE 2-weeks ago with Asus RTX 2080 Turbo, it works perfectly with 180+230w bricks, no jumper switch needed.

In my country this Asus card is really overpriced, it`s around $1200 USD for ASUS RTX 2080 Turbo and $1700 USD for 2080 Ti Turbo, planned to buy the Ti before but I am not sure RTX 2080 Ti will be 100% stable in my G20ci, so I decided to get the non Ti .

It`s Binned A chip inside, although this turbo is non OC version.

Manage to OCed this card manualy(not with oc scanner) +200mhz Core and +1000mhz Mem for benchmark test (but for daily used I only used +200mhz core and +500mhz Mem)
3Dmark Timespy Extreme Score: (10% higher score than Oced GTX 1080Ti)

The Conclusion is, the GPU of ASUS ROG G20(that comes with 2 bricks 180+230w) can be upgrade to RTX 2080, but You need to buy the Blower Cooling version like Asus RTX 2080 Turbo, non blower cooling won`t be able to run well with G20. How about Founder Edition RTX 2080? it won`t work, I mean it can run but your GPU and system surely overheated.

Is the 2080 not a step down from the 1080Ti?


nope, RTX 2080 is slightly faster than gtx 1080ti and draw a lower power consumption.

here one of the review from guru3d:

Samples missing on that graph.
Ive seen it showing the 2080 lagging a bit with about the only advantage being lower power consumption with a good bit of comparisons saying this card is not worth the upgrade unless the need to have the newest card is overwhelming.
It loses out by a little here

My scores are lacking a bit. Fresh driver install and no OC

Kudos on Jamming that card in your case!! I almost went that route some time ago. Nice small towers.

How much off a difference did changing out the TIM make? Do you have before/after temperatures?

I'm curious to see what your temps are.

Currently running a 1080TI, as a new 2080 costs over 2x the cost of a used 1080TI.

Temps are dynamic, it depends on the temp target limit, and the core Freq will automatically adjust the speed, temp limit by default was 83 degree Celcius.
Before I change the TIM, the core constantly goes up to 1700mhz, but after the gpu temp reach 85, the core will throttling down to 1515mhz.
After I replace the tim with CM Mastergel Maker, now the core keep running above 1700-1800mhz without throttling.

Thank you for this post. Now i feel confident to upgrade myself.

We’re not talking about the 8 and 6 pin connectors that go to the gpu we’re talking about the actual psu of the computer there’s 2 one for overall power and a second for more powerful graphics cards referenced here in this YouTubeers clip*https://youtu.be/qNXwfOpvZLQ

ahhh yes remember changing the 6 pin for 8 now for the 1080, guess you just use both for the 2080 card

thanks for the link !

Sorry if this might be a stupid question, but would I have to get a male 6 pin to male 6 pin adapter for the 2080?

this is what I bought to be safe. Card hasn’t arrived yet but I’d imagine it’ll cover both.*PCIE 8 Pin male to Dual 8 Pin... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0796NVNY7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
