NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super, Gaming Benchmarks & Specs

9 games at 1440p, 85 FPS on average, anchored estimate · solid 60+ FPS 1440p gaming, with headroom in lighter titles

85 Avg FPS Includes estimates

These figures are anchored estimates, interpolated against the cards we measured first-party on the same suite, and they stay labeled as estimates until this card runs. Across our 9-game suite at 1440p, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super averages 85 FPS. The ceiling is Counter-Strike 2 at 143 FPS; the floor is Alan Wake 2 at 53 FPS, a 2.7x spread that tells you how engine-dependent this class of card is. In practical terms that means solid 60+ FPS 1440p gaming, with headroom in lighter titles. Under load we logged a peak of 240W against the 250W rating.

The silicon

Transistors13,600 million
Die size545 mm²
Fabricated byTSMC
Transistor density25 million per mm²

Denser than 30% of the 76 cards we have silicon data for. Density is the clearest measure of what a process node bought: a card that gained it without growing the die got its speed from the fab rather than the architecture.
