11/12/2023 0 Comments Nvidia geforce rtx 2080 super![]() So while Tomb Raider was specifically picked to be a punishing game – a task it delivered on here – I fully expect that the RTX 2080 Super is drawing a bit less than the RTX 2080 Ti in around half of our other games. It is worth noting, however, that often the card was clockspeed-limited rather than power limited. NVIDIA’s overall power efficiency is still quite good here (the Radeon VII won’t be touching it, for example), but it’s clearly regressed a bit versus the RTX 2080 Ti and vanilla RTX 2080. Under both FurMark and Tomb Raider, our RTX 2080 Super-equipped system is drawing almost the same amount of power as the RTX 2080 Ti system with a difference of just a few watts. Load power, on the other hand, is paying the price for those 1900MHz+ clockspeeds. Getting to power consumption itself then, idle is effectively unchanged, exactly as we’d expect it. The extra SMs help, but it’s the extra 100-150MHz on the GPU clockspeed that’s really driving the card. This, ultimately, is why the RTX 2080 Super is as fast as it is versus the vanilla RTX 2080. If anything, the hard part is getting the card above 90-95% power usage. Quite frankly the RTX 2080 Super is almost a boring card in this respect (in a good way) there’s just not much in the way of power throttling going on here. With temperature compensation active, our RTX 2080 Super tops out at 1937MHz a clockspeed that it holds at for over half of our games even at 4K. In short, the card spends a lot of time at or near its top turbo bins. What is more surprising however are the average clockspeeds we recorded for the RTX 2080 Super. That they’re doing it without more voltage is a bit more interesting – it looks like chip quality may have improved a bit over the past year – but not too surprising. Our RTX topped out at 1900MHz, and the RTX 2080 Super is only a bit higher at 1965MHz. On the clockspeed side, NVIDIA hasn’t actually changed the card’s maximum clockspeed all that much. Looking at clockspeeds, we can piece together a couple of interesting pieces of information. The 0.65v idle voltage is among the lowest we’ve ever recorded for an NVIDIA card, however. At its highest clockspeeds the card runs at 1.05v, quickly stepping down to below 1v at lower clockspeeds. Overall, the voltages being used for the RTX 2080 Super are not any different than NVIDIA’s other TU104 cards – or any of their other Turing cards, for that matter. While a high performing card is good in its own right, an excellent card can deliver great performance while also keeping power consumption and the resulting noise levels in check. Last, but not least of course, is our look at power, temperatures, and noise levels. ![]()
