Modder Turns RTX 2080 Ti Hall of Fame into 900W Titan RTX, Outperforming RTX 3090 on TimeSpy Extreme
Date: January 25, 2026
A skilled modder has taken an RTX 2080 Ti Hall of Fame card and overhauled it into a custom Titan RTX. The new build swaps the original TU102 core for a fully unlocked Titan RTX die, installs 24 GB of high‑bandwidth GDDR6 memory, and applies a 900‑W power‑limit upgrade.
With these modifications, the card pushed 3DMark’s TimeSpy Extreme score past that of a stock RTX 3090 running on standard air cooling, clocking in at over 18,000 points. The performance leap showcases how a single board can be transformed into a high‑end machine with a few key upgrades.
