They call it "fine wine" - the idea that a PC component ages gracefully over time, always capable of delivering good performance on the latest games... and perhaps the RTX 2080 Ti is the best example of that? General performance in line - or better than - the RTX 5060, a decent amount of VRAM and support for the latest Nvidia DLSS technologies (frame generation apart). Just how good is the 2080 Ti in 2025? Rich investigates.

The Ultimate "Fine Wine" GPU? RTX 2080 Ti Revisited in 2025 vs RTX 5060 + More!

They call it "fine wine" - the idea that a PC component ages gracefully over time, always capable of delivering good performance on the latest games... and perhaps the RTX 2080 Ti is the best example of that? General performance in line - or better than - the RTX 5060, a decent amount of VRAM and support for the latest Nvidia DLSS technologies (frame generation apart). Just how good is the 2080 Ti in 2025? Rich investigates. Note: Gamers Nexus and De8auer measured the TU102 processor at circa 775mm2 - other reports have it at circa 755mm2.

I really enjoy these kinds of "let's see what it can do!" articles

This is perfect timing. I have been looking to upgrade my daughter's pc. She has a 1660 super at the moment on a 1080p gsync display. It has been mostly fine tbh, but wanted to up her vram and maybe CPU (currently Ryzen 3 3100, need to do some research to see if an upgrade would be worth it here as well) but possibly a 5800 x3d. With the 2080ti, I wouldn't need to upgrade the motherboard and it would seemingly give her a great GPU boost. Just need to double check what PSU I currently have in her system.
