The RTX 2080 Ti HoF is one of the most powerful RTX 20 series graphics cards that exists, but the artificial core and memory bus limits on the TU102 core always meant that the hardware has extra untapped potential under the hood. Modder Jiachen Liu on X decided to remedy this issue by transplanting an RTX Titan core and 24GB of GDDR6 memory. While he was at it, he also modified the power limit from 300W to 900W.
Armed with all these upgrades, the modified RTX 2080 TI HoF (or supercharged Titan RTX, whatever you want to call it) was recorded pushing a whopping 18,038 points on the graphics score for 3DMark TimeSpy Extreme. To understand just how crazy this score is, the average score for two Titan RTX graphics cards in SLI is around 17,000 points, and an average RTX 3090 score is around 14,000 points in TimeSpy Extreme.

The RTX 2080 Ti was the most powerful consumer-focused Turing graphics card for the RTX 20 series. The GPU came with 68 SMs, 4352 CUDA cores, 68 RT cores, 544 Tensor Cores, 272 TMUs, 5.5MB of L2 cache, 250W TDP, and 11GB of GDDR6 operating on a 352-bit interface. The Titan RTX was the most powerful Turing graphics card made that was geared towards prosumers, featuring 72 SMs, 4608 CUDA cores, 72 RT cores, 576 tensor cores, 288 TMUs, 6MB of L2 cache, and 24GB of GDDR6 operating on a 384-bit interface.
The only problem with the Titan RTX (just like past Titans) is that Nvidia never allowed AIB partners to make exotic variants with robust power delivery and high-end coolers capable of overclocking the Titan RTX to the same levels as other 20-series GPUs. Jiachen Liu's mod works around this problem by putting a Titan RTX core and 24GB of GDDR6 on a 2080 Ti HoF PCB. The modder chimed in a following X post that the HoF PCB and cooler allowed them to hit a sustained 2,150MHz on the core, which would be impossible on the stock Titan RTX board and cooler.
Again, all of this was done with one GPU. Maybe one day we'll see the same card paired in SLI with another card with the same Titan GPU swap. If that happens, we could see some new records being broken. 18,000 times two equates to a TimeSpy Extreme score that outperforms even an LN2 overclocked RTX 5090.
