Nvidia’s RTX 2080 Super Delivers a Modest Performance Improvement

The GPU market has changed a good deal over the past month, courtesy of AMD’s Navi launch and Nvidia’s response to it. 

As soon as AMD announced the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT at $379 and $500, Nvidia declared it was launching a new family of RTX “Super” cards.

These Turing refreshes for the RTX 2060 and RTX 2070 have substantially improved the performance of both of those cards. In response, AMD cut its own GPU pricing, repositioning the 5700 and 5700 XT at $350 and $400.


Now, we have the RTX 2080 Super arriving, with a smaller improvement at the top-end than Nvidia has already introduced with the RTX 2060 Super and RTX 2070 Super.
