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.
