NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super GPU

Description

For optimal performance and impressive levels of realism, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super is powered by NVIDIA Turing architecture and the RTX platform. It features greater clocks, more cores, and faster 8GB memory. Turing architecture gives the GPU up to 6X the performance of previous-generation graphics cards and gives games the power of real-time ray tracing and AI-powered DLSS 2.0 for enhanced realism.

Memory

As the first consumer graphics card with GDDR6 memory, the GeForce RTX 2080 Super is clocked at 15.5Gb/s rather than the default 14Gbps. The 15.5 Gbps GDDR6 VRAM increases the memory bandwidth to 496.1 GB/s, which is a 10.7% improvement. The 2-slot card pairs 8GB GDDR6 memory with a 256-bit memory interface and users can pair another card with the NVIDIA RTX NVLink Bridge to scale memory capacity to 16GB. The maximum boost clock is 1815MHz with the base clock running at 1650MHz.

Performance

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super leverages the advanced Turing architecture with built-in ray tracing and 8GB of memory. Users get 3072 CUDA cores with the GeForce RTX 2080 Super, as opposed to the 2944 CUDA cores in the original RTX 2080. This GPU also includes 192 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 48 ray tracing acceleration cores. It’s capable of 22.3 TFLOPS of FP16 (half) performance, 11.15 TFLOPS of FP32 (float) performance, and 348.5 GFLOPS of FP64 (double) performance. With over 13.5 billion transistors, the GPU also supports 384 tensor cores, which help improve the speed of machine learning applications.

Features

Built on the 12nm manufacturing process, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate to ensure all modern games can run at maximum capacity. This feature allows the RTX 2080 Super to support ray tracing, variable-rate shading, and more. The GPU is ideal for those who want to play games, edit video, or use any creative applications with as few compromises as possible at 4K resolution, or at high refresh rates of 1440p resolution. The 2080 Super looks almost identical to the original 2080 GPU, with the exception of a reflective surface between the two fans and the green “Super” logo. The fans utilize 13 blades to move the heat away from the processor as quickly as possible. The NVIDIA 2080 Super allows for a multi-monitor configuration with support for a 250W TDP to ensure the card has enough power headroom for higher clocks.

Summary

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super GPU unlocks the power of the processor cores to accelerate challenging tasks like ray tracing, simulation of physics, and video transcoding. Under the hood, the GPU features 8GB of GDDR6 memory, more cores, and greater clocks than the original RTX 2080.
