NVIDIA Introduces RTX 2080 Super and RTX 2070 Super for Laptops, Max-Q Dynamic Boost, and More

New NVIDIA RTX Super graphics cards announced for gaming laptops. Specifically, the RTX 2070 Super and RTX 2080 Super have been announced, which will be integrated into high-end gaming laptops. They are not only designed for fans of video games, but also for creators looking for powerful solutions. They also arrive to offer a better experience with 300Hz screens and RTX Studio, among others, as well as DLSS 2.0.

Of course, the RTX Super Mobile come with frequency adjustments to reduce the TDP to the demands of the laptops. For the rest of the specifications, such as CUDA Cores and GDDR6 memory, they have the same characteristics as their desktop sisters. Let's take a closer look at what these graphs offer.

NVIDIA announces RTX 2070 Super and RTX 2080 Super for notebooks

We start with the RTX 2080 Super that has 3072 CUDA Cores and a base frequency of 1080MHz, being able to reach 1560MHz in Boost mode. This 8GB GDDR6 @ 14GHz graphics card is accompanied with a 256-bit memory interface and a bandwidth of 448Gb / s. This GPU has an adjustable TDP that will move between 80W and 150W.

We go to the RTX 2070 Super that has 2560 CUDA Cores operating at a frequency of 1155MHz and reaching 1380MHz in Boost mode. It also has 8GB GDDR6 @ 14GHz with a 256-bit memory interface and a bandwidth of 448Gb / s. This GPU has an adjustable TDP that will move between 80W and 115W.

Along with these graphics come the GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1650 Ti, two simpler gaming graphics without support for RayTracing. The GTX 1660 Ti has 1536 CUDA Cores and a frequency of 1335MHz that will reach 1560MHz in Boost mode. It has 4GB GDDR6 @ 14GHz and the TDP of this GPU will be between 60W and 80W. We move on to the GTX 1650 Ti, which has 1024 CUDA Cores with a frequency of 1200MHz and will arrive in Boost mode at 1485MHz. It is accompanied by 4GB GDDR6 @ 12GHz and a variable TPD of between 35W and 55W.

Improvements that implement these charts

NVIDIA has implemented changes in the Max-Q, integrating the Max-Q Dynamic Boost technology. This technology allows a balancing of the power of the CPU and the GPU. As can be seen in the example, if the consumption of the GPU is increased by 15W, the power of the CPU can be adjusted, reducing the consumption by 15W. This allows the TDP of the system to be balanced and will improve heat dissipation. This is achieved by maintaining energy consumption while increasing gaming performance by 6-8%.

Additionally, the following improvements are implemented:

• Low-voltage GDDR6: NVIDIA has worked with its memory partners to increase memory efficiency while improving performance with low-voltage GDDR6 memory.
• Advanced Optimus: A breakthrough technology innovation that offers greater battery life while allowing you to enjoy immersive and seamless gameplay thanks to NVIDIA G-SYNC. Advanced Optimus controls which GPU is controlling the screen and determines which GPU is suitable for the workload at any given moment, thus dynamically jumping between one and the other without the need to reboot the system (iGPU and GPU).
• Next Generation Efficiency Regulator: This next generation voltage regulator helps optimize the system so that the GPU can work more efficiently while offering the best performance.
• Deep Learning Super Sampling 2.0: Thanks to the dedicated Artificial Intelligence processors in RTX GPUs, called Tensor Cores, DLSS 2.0 is a deep learning neural network that improves frame rates while generating sharper and clearer images in games. Improves room for improvement in games to maximize RayTracing settings while increasing output resolution and extending battery life by up to 20 percent

Laptops with an RTX 2060

Interestingly, within the presentation there has also been talk of RTX 2060 graphics cards. All those laptops that integrate an Intel Comet Lake-H or AMD Ryzen 4000 processors and are combined with an RTX 2060 will have a starting price of 1.199 euros.

Although on paper this price is quite good, then it will depend a lot on the integrated processor. It is expected that laptops with an Intel processor will be more expensive than those with an AMD processor. It will also depend on the type of panel, type of keyboard, cooling, etc. According to NVIDIA, this is the same starting price as laptops with a GTX 960M had.

RTX Studio with 45+ tools with RayTracing support

Those who opt for NVIDIA RTX Studio laptops that integrate an RTX 2080 Super will see improvements. NVIDIA compares these computers with the MacBook Pro 16 that integrate an Intel Core i9 and an AMD Radeon 5500M with a starting price of 3.200 euros. What we don't know is how much an RTX Studio system with a built-in RTX 2080 costs.

Also added 45 tools that integrate the RayTracing acceleration. The most prominent being: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Autodesk Arnold, Flame and VRED, Blender, DaVinci Resolve, Mantra, the graphics engines Unity and Unreal Engine, Reality Engine, Wisp Renderer, Daz3D, Enscape or Catia
