Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER?

At 1440p High, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER averages 100 fps in Monster Hunter: World, per TechGage. For local LLM inference it generates 58.4 tokens/sec running llama3.1:8b at q4_K_M under llama.cpp, per LocalScore.ai. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 23,130 points, per Notebookcheck. Its 8 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the llama3.1:8b run above (8B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is a graphics card from the Turing family released in 2019 from NVIDIA. Key on-paper specs include 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, 496 GB/s of memory bandwidth, 250W TDP.
