Review roundup: High-end GPU with no competition

While the RTX 2060 Super and RTX 2070 Super were launched as a direct competition to the AMD Radeon RX 5700 series, the new Geforce RTX 2080 Super launches without any competition whatsoever, featuring higher CUDA core count, higher clocks for both GPU and memory, and is only outperformed by the RTX 2080 Ti.

Nvidia has officially introduced the third member of its RTX 20 Super series, the RTX 2080 Super, which will fit nicely in the lineup and fill the gap between the RTX 2070 Super and the undisputed high-end graphics card, the RTX 2080 Ti. While there aren't plenty of games where you can actually use those RT cores, this should eventually change as Nvidia managed to get some big names on its RTX train, with some big AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Control, Watch Dogs: Legion, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, and, of course, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2.

Same TU104 GPU but with all 3,072 CUDA cores

Specification-wise, the new Geforce RTX 2080 Super is based on the same TU104 GPU as the previously launched RTX 2080 (non-Super) but this time around, Nvidia has enabled all 3,072 CUDA cores, so it comes with 64ROPs, 192 TMUs, 48 RT cores, and 384 Tensor cores.

In addition to higher CUDA core count, the RTX 2080 Super also comes with higher GPU clocks, hitting 1650MHz for the base GPU and 1815MHz for the Boost GPU clock. It still comes with 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit memory, with a slightly higher 1940MHz (15.5Gbps) clocks, leaving it with 496 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The TDP also went slightly up from 225W to 250W but the card still needs 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power connectors.
