Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super review: Faster 4K for no extra cost

It seems like an eternity has passed since the initial launch of Nvidia’s RTX Super cards, but here we are at last with the final GPU in the trilogy, the RTX 2080 Super. It’s still not the most powerful graphics card in Nvidia’s RTX arsenal – that honour continues to be held by the RTX 2080 Ti – but compared to the rest of Nvidia’s real-time ray tracing machines, the RTX 2080 Super is definitely a much more straightforward proposition than either of its Super siblings, the RTX 2060 Super or RTX 2070 Super.

For starters, this is intended to replace the RTX 2080 rather than sit alongside it, and Nvidia say it’s also meant to deliver up to 10% more performance for the same price. In fact, if you compare the cost of Nvidia’s two Founders Edition cards, the £669 / $699 RTX 2080 Super actually comes in £80 / $100 less than its predecessor did when it launched last year. Throw in a distinct lack of competition from AMD right now (especially if those rumours about the Radeon 7 going end of life are to be believed), plus two free games in the form of Control and Wolfenstein: Youngblood, and on paper there’s really no reason why you wouldn’t pick the RTX 2080 Super as your next 4K graphics card. Is it really worth spending another two hundred quid over our current 4K best graphics card pick, the RTX 2070 Super, though? Here’s wot I think.
