NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q
The GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q is a GPU from NVIDIA released in 2019. This chip has a very good gaming score with 5387 points in our GPU benchmark.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q has 8 GiB of GDDR6 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 375 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 256 bits. More memory is beneficial when gaming at high resolutions as the memory needs to store the frame buffer and all the game textures. If you run out of memory, you will experience poor performance as the GPU needs to swap data in and out of the memory as it is used.
In terms of clock speed, the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU core runs at a frequency of 735 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1095 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.
As for rendering API support, the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.
This chip has a Thermal Design Power of 90W: the total amount of waste heat generated. A card that runs hotter will need better cooling and will draw more power from the wall.
