NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Benchmark Results — All CPU Pairings Tested

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has been stress-tested in 13 distinct CPU pairings from 77 verified browser samples, with a sample-weighted Sustained Health Score of 71.3/100 (grade B). The strongest measured pairing is Intel Core i7-9700K Processor (12M Cache, up to 4.90 GHz) at 74/100; the weakest is AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX at 64/100. Typical sustained-load decay is 5.6% with thermal health around 93/100.

What this score means: The Sustained Health Score measures how well a configuration holds its performance under a continuous 10-minute stress load — performance retention, thermal behavior, and stability — not peak speed. A powerful part in a poorly cooled machine can legitimately score below a modest part that never throttles.

Citable facts about NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has been measured in 13 distinct CPU pairings on UserBenchmark.org, totaling 77 verified browser stress-test samples.
  • Sample-weighted median Sustained Health Score across all NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti configurations: 71.3/100 (grade B). This score measures performance retention under sustained load, not peak throughput.
  • Best measured pairing (min 5 samples): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti + Intel Core i7-9700K Processor (12M Cache, up to 4.90 GHz) at 74/100 from 9 samples.
  • Weakest measured pairing (min 5 samples): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti + AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX at 64/100 from 6 samples — low scores typically indicate thermal throttling or power-limited systems, not a slow chip.
  • Typical sustained-load GPU performance decay: 5.6%. Average thermal health: 93/100. Path-tracing stability: 93/100.
  • Per-pairing scores are medians (outlier-resistant); pairings are labeled High (15+ samples), Moderate (5-14) or Low (<5) confidence.
  • Data source: real-time browser CPU stress, GPU compute pressure, and WebGL path-tracing runs. License: CC BY 4.0 with attribution to UserBenchmark.org.
