Verdict

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080

5.3 / 10 Expert Rating

A historically important card for introducing RT and DLSS, but the weakest implementation of both; buy the Super refresh instead if pricing is close.

NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada Generation

7.8 / 10 Expert Rating

A dependable mid-tier Ada workstation card - now best bought at a discount against the newer RTX PRO Blackwell cards.
