GeForce RTX 2080 Super Mobile

2020

Why buy it

✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅More future proof: Turing on 12nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 150W instead of 250W, a 100W reduction.

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.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 2.1 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $8,999 MSRP).

Quadro GV100

2018

Why buy it

✅28.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 2.1 vs 0 G3D/$ ($8,999 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅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.
❌66.7% higher power demand at 250W vs 150W.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2080 Super Mobile better than Quadro GV100?

Yes. GeForce RTX 2080 Super Mobile is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 2.4% higher PassMark G3D performance and DLSS 2 Super Resolution. It also comes from 2020 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 Mobile is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 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 Mobile is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear 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. Quadro GV100 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, GeForce RTX 2080 Super Mobile is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Quadro GV100 still makes more sense on price alone, but the performance trade-off is much harder to justify by current standards.

Is Quadro GV100 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Quadro GV100 is still a strong gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. This mostly comes down to price. If you want to stay closer to $8,999 MSRP, it remains a strong choice; if you are comfortable paying more, GeForce RTX 2080 Super Mobile earns that extra money with a clearly stronger gaming result and a more complete overall package.
