The GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q is a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on January 29th, 2019. Built on the 12 nm process, and based on the TU104 graphics processor, in its N18E-G3-A1 variant, the chip supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q. Additionally, the DirectX 12 Ultimate capability guarantees support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading and more, in upcoming video games. The TU104 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 545 mm² and 13,600 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which uses the same GPU but has all 3072 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q to reach the product's target shader count. It features 2944 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. Also included are 368 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 46 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 8 GB GDDR6 memory with the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 735 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1095 MHz, memory is running at 1500 MHz (12 Gbps effective).
Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 80 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. Rather it is intended for use in laptop/notebooks and will use the output of the host mobile device. GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface.
