About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2019 with a MSRP of $699. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU104) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 2080 SUPER has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,937 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 495.9 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 2080 SUPER includes 3,072 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,650 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,815 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 192 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 384 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 48 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 2080 SUPER occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a, USB Type-C display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 250 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 2080 SUPER has the 38th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 39.11% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 40,963 score and $699 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 58.6. This is the 56th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon RX 580 Mobile GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 580 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q2 2017. It is built on the GCN 4.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Polaris 20) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The RX 580 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 2,000 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 256 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX 580 Mobile includes 2,304 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,000 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,077 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 144 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 100 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RX 580 Mobile has the 143rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 14.53% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
