NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super Founders Edition

[W1zzard]

NVIDIA swings to the rescue of its $700 price point by "Super"-charging the TU104 silicon and giving it the fastest memory solution ever. In our testing, the RTX 2080 Super achieves a 16% lead over the RTX 2070 Super, making it a solid choice for 4K gaming that doesn't break the bank.

I bought my RTX 2080 in march not knowing that this was going to launch. Could have waited as I recently updated CPU+mobo+RAM but oh well.

Nice performance gains though and thanks for the review.

it really doesnt matter man, its such a small increase its just pointless.

A new meme will rise:

Nvidia launches SUPER Boring GPU.

 

[Metroid]

10% more performance for 10% more money, move on, nothing to see here.

 

[ShurikN]

It's incredible how all 3 super cards are super meh.

 

[NDown]

Lol, are they for real? The 5750/5800/5850XT cant come soon enough.

2080S is clearly the least SUPER cards compared to the other two.

 

[IceShroom]

This is furnace. 78° Surface temperature, what is the junction temperature?? Oh Nvidia cards don't display junction temperature.
And people calling Navi10 cards hot!!! Double standard.

This should be the 2080 from the start. But then at that time there were no competition (although still no competition now).

 

[ppn]

16% lead for 40% price. this should be the 2080Ti instead and be made on 7nm EUV to shrink it below 400mm2.

This only further enhances the value of the RTX 2070 Super, just 10% to 15% less performance depending on the resolution, for $200 less!

As Nvidia did not want to enter much of the 2080Ti territory, they left the 2070 Super lurking.

• Solid performance increase over the original RTX 2080

 

[Lionheart]

I'm Sorry but "Solid performance improvement over standard RTX 2080"? Thanks for the review but I disagree there.

if a 5800XT with 64cu launches I think I'll just press buy now without reading reviews.
nvidia on 10 or 7nm can't come soon enough either...

5700 series have been the most important and exciting gpu launch since GTX10 series concluded.

+1 to the "they didn't have enough of a performance gap between the 2080ti to make it any faster" comment. They are capped by the TITAN RTX - since in order to release a true SUPER line up the 2080ti SUPER would basically be a titan rtx and the 2080 super would be a 2080ti.

I think jen hsun is still getting hate mail from the last time they did that.

With the current driver mess I would not touch RDNA for another solid 6 months.

My GTX1080 ti just looks a whole lot better when I see the prices/performance of this current lineup...

10% more performance for 10% more money, move on, nothing to see here.

Did you even read the review before complaining?

5-10% more performance for the same price is not super, but certainly welcome.

Regular 2080 is starting at $630 at the moment

Snagged one this morning for a build i'm doing for a family member. Should be good enough for high settings 4k 60hz for the next 2 years or so.

Price wasn't the greatest "bang for your buck" but then again neither was the original 2080 (third party 2080s last year at launch where going well over $800 with no free games. I paid $120 less and got two free games).

Regular 2080 is starting at $630 at the moment

Regular 2080s are looking great price wise. If I wasn't able to get a 2080S today my backup plan was my local microcenter which had an open box reference 2080 for $540

@W1zzard you can't be serious with the summary. 'Solid performance increase over 2080'. What, 5%?!?

Where's the negative bullet point of this having no overclocking headroom, again, another paltry 5%?

 

[Upgrayedd]

Nice to see a fully enabled die. I'd like to try and build the next PC with no wasted silicon.

With that said I do not like the 2070 Super being called "Super" while using a gimped die when the original 2070 used a fully enabled die.

Editor's choice - for what?

I'm being honest here, a 5% performance improvement at the same price all of a sudden deserves an Editor's choice award? This is the most disappointing out of all the three Super cards BY FAR.

The 5% overclock is just on the core clocks. The memory overclocked 19% giving a total performance gain of 8.3%

"Actual 3D performance gained from overclocking is 8.3%."

Also at 1440p the 2080 Super is 6.4% faster than the regular 2080 on average and 7.5% faster on average than the regular 2080 at 4K. Each overclocks about the same. Granted it's not as big a performance bump as the 2070 Super over the regular 2070 but bear in mind these Supers are are not the next generation on 7nm. They are merely Turing refreshes.

Pretty much all NVIDIA stuff on TPU get Editor's choice, so no surprise there.

For NVIDIA reviews is a positive that they support VESA Adaptive-Sync. For AMD cards, not so much.

For AMD cards is a negative that they no longer support CrossFire, but the conclusion state "Abolishing CrossFire support might seem sad at first, but I think it's actually a good thing. Why invest time into a feature that is barely used by 1% of your customers?" But its still listed as a negative.
