GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

2019

Why buy it

✅Costs $8,300 less on MSRP ($699 MSRP vs $8,999 MSRP).
✅Delivers 1218.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 27.8 vs 2.1 G3D/$ ($699 MSRP vs $8,999 MSRP).
✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅More future proof: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Quadro GV100 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 32 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.

Quadro GV100

2018

Why buy it

✅20.3% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (32 GB vs 8 GB).

Trade-offs

❌No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
❌Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 32 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER better than Quadro GV100?

Yes. GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 2.4% higher PassMark G3D performance and DLSS 2 Super Resolution. It also comes from 2019 instead of 2018, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2019 generation instead of 2018 and better upscaling support with DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is about $8,300 cheaper on MSRP at $699 MSRP versus $8,999 MSRP, and you are getting lower estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 2.4% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 1218.2%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is Quadro GV100 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Quadro GV100 is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $8,999 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
