Turing · 2019
In laptops, the RTX 2080 Super (2019) pairs the same 3072-core, 8GB GDDR6 configuration as the desktop card with a laptop-appropriate 150W typical power draw, making it one of the most powerful mobile GPUs of the Turing generation.
It's capable of high-refresh 1080p and strong 1440p gaming in a properly cooled chassis, though as with other Turing-era mobile chips, the exact power limit a laptop maker sets for it has a real effect on how close it gets to that ceiling.
Feature-wise this sits at DLSS 2 - AI-trained Super Resolution, DLAA, and Ray Reconstruction for cleaner ray-traced lighting, all without Frame Generation, which wouldn't arrive until two GPU generations later. It does have genuine ray tracing hardware on board, a rarity for laptops in 2019, even if Turing-generation RT performance looks modest next to what followed.
Laptop manufacturers configure this GPU's power limit (TGP) per model. The 150W figure above is a typical point within the chip's published TGP range - actual power limits, and real-world performance, can vary significantly between laptops using the same GPU name.
Smooth 1440p gaming and solid creative app performance.
8 GB GDDR6 memory.
Push performance beyond base clock.
Soldered (Mobile)
Real-world specs can differ by laptop model - see the note above.
The NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super is a upper mid-range dedicated GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 memory, suited to mainstream gaming and everyday graphics tasks.
