Modded RTX 2080 Ti With 22 GB Memory Delivers Up To 73% Boost At 4K Compared To 11 GB Variant, Benchmarks Reveal
Key Points:
- German publication PC Games Hardware tested a modded GeForce RTX 2080 Ti with 22 GB of VRAM, doubling the original 11 GB by using 2 GB Samsung GDDR6 chips instead of 1 GB modules.
- At 1440p resolution with DLSS Quality, the 22 GB variant showed significant performance improvements in select games like Flight Simulator 2024 (29% boost) and Spider-Man 2 (22% boost), while many other titles saw little to no gain.
- At 4K resolution with DLSS Performance and FSR Frame Generation enabled, the increased VRAM dramatically improved performance, with Flight Simulator 2024 seeing a 73% boost and Spider-Man 2 achieving a 64% increase, pushing it over 60 FPS.
- The higher VRAM capacity not only enhanced gaming performance at ultra settings but also accelerated AI workloads compared to the 11 GB model.
- Overall, the benefits of doubling VRAM are most apparent at 4K resolution and in VRAM-intensive modern games, while lower resolutions show mixed results.
