According to reports, this GTX 2080 is the same as Nvidia's official RTX 2080 graphics card, which has the same appearance and motherboard, and supports RayTracing and DLSS.

The GTX 2080, bought by Reddit netizens on overseas second-hand trading platform ebay, costs $360 (about 2426.4 yuan) and has some collectible value.
