The Test - The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super Review: Memories of the Future

Publish date: 2024-09-10

The Test

For the launch of the RTX 2080 Super, NVIDIA has rolled out a new set of drivers to enable the card: 431.56. These drivers don’t offer any performance improvements over the 431.15 drivers in our games, so the results are fully comparable.

Meanwhile, I've gone ahead and tossed in the Radeon RX 5700 XT in to our graphs. While it's aimed at a distinctly lower market with its $399 price tag, it has the potential to be a very strong spoiler here, especially for 1440p gaming.
