NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
Specifications, where the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER sits for gaming, the processor worth pairing with it, and the frame rate the pair returns at every resolution.
Ryzen 7 5800XT
The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER and the Ryzen 7 5800XT return about 48 fps on High at 1440p with neither part wasting the other. A processor slower than the Ryzen 7 5800XT leaves the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER idling, and a faster one adds no frames to a GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER at this resolution.

| Manufacturer | NVIDIA |

| Board power | 250 W |
| Gaming performance index | 35.0 (RTX 4090 = 100) |
What these numbers mean for the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
On our index the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER scores 35.0, which places it 42nd of the 89 graphics cards we track and puts it faster than roughly 53% of them.
The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER and the Radeon RX 6700 10GB land on exactly the same index score of 35.0, so on raw throughput the two are interchangeable and the choice between them comes down to memory, power draw and price on the day.
8 GB of memory is the figure to watch on the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER: workable at 1080p, tight at 1440p on high presets, and short of what a handful of recent titles want, which on a 8 GB card shows up as stutter rather than a lower frame counter and so gets misdiagnosed as the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER simply being slow.
At 250 W the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER sits in the mainstream power bracket, so a competent supply of around 600 W total handles the whole machine and cooling is a matter of normal case airflow rather than special planning.
Released in 2019, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is 7 years old and well past the point of being a sensible new purchase, and it is here because plenty of people still run a GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER and want to know what to pair with it or whether to replace it.
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER frame rate at each resolution
The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER paired with the Ryzen 7 5800XT on the High preset with 16 GB of system memory. The card is the limit throughout, so the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER falls the full 71% from 65 fps to 19 fps as the pixel count rises.
| Resolution | Estimated fps | Limited by |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p (1920 x 1080) | 65 fps | Balanced |
| 1440p (2560 x 1440) | 48 fps | GPU |
| 4K (3840 x 2160) | 19 fps | GPU |
How the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER compares
6 cards sit within 30% of the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER on our gaming index, running from the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti at +29% to the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB at +20%, a window narrow enough that price, memory and power decide it rather than raw speed.
What to pair with the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, and when to upgrade
Best CPU for the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
When the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER becomes the limit, the GeForce RTX 4070 is the next step worth paying for: 55.0 on our index against 35.0, a jump of 57%, which is roughly where an upgrade stops being something you have to look at a counter to notice. See its specs.
