Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 Super finds out in performance test for Final Fantasy XV

During the early summer, rumors hailed about upcoming launches from both AMD and Nvidia, where the latter was the Geforce RTX Super product series. According to the information, the RTX Super series consists of a trio of Turing-based graphics cards in the form of the launched Geforce RTX 2070 Super and RTX 2060 Super, as well as the upcoming RTX 2080 Super.

1 Specifications: Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 Super

Geforce RTX 2070 Super and RTX 2060 Super were released on July 2 and compete mainly against AMD’s brand new Radeon RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT, which were launched on July 7. More powerful Geforce RTX 2080 Super will instead appear on July 23 and offer increased performance through more unlocked CUDA cores and higher frequencies for both memory and graphics circuit.

Now the model is glimpsed in the performance test for Final Fantasy XV, in the resolution 2,560 × 1,440 pixels with the detail settings on “High”. This mode means that Nvidia-specific features such as Hairworks is activated and the performance is therefore not directly comparable with AMD cards. It is clear, however, that the Geforce RTX 2080 Super steps up to 8,736 points, which is just over 8 percent higher than the RTX 2080.

The increase in performance also means that the upcoming card performs better than Pascal-based Titan Xp and on a par with the Titan V model, which has the Volta architecture under the hood. However, the step up to the top models with the current Turing architecture is still a long way off, where the Geforce RTX 2080 Ti and Titan RTX perform 9,928 and 11,504 points respectively.

* Values apply to Nvidia’s Founders Edition of each model, which comes with 90 MHz overclocking. In addition to slightly higher performance, this in all cases leads to an increase in TDP of 10 W.

Like last year’s Geforce RTX 2080, the Super version uses the TU104 graphics circuit, but the number of active CUDA cores increases from 2,944 to 3,072, while 2 RT and 16 Tensor cores are added. In addition, the memory frequency climbs from 14,000 to 15,500 MHz, while the turbo and base frequencies land at 1,650 and 1,815 MHz, respectively. This points to a decent increase in performance, but whether 8 percent is true remains to be seen.
