Averages 80 FPS at 1440p over our 9-game suite, anchored estimate · solid 60+ FPS 1440p gaming, with headroom in lighter titles
80 Avg FPS Includes estimates
These figures are anchored estimates, interpolated against the cards we measured first-party on the same suite, and they stay labeled as estimates until this card runs. Across our 9-game suite at 1440p, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Founders Edition averages 80 FPS. The ceiling is Counter-Strike 2 at 135 FPS; the floor is Alan Wake 2 at 50 FPS, a 2.7x spread that tells you how engine-dependent this class of card is. In practical terms that means solid 60+ FPS 1440p gaming, with headroom in lighter titles. Under load we logged a peak of 206W against the 215W rating.
