In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile.
The RTX 2080 has a 135 MHz higher core clock speed and the same number of Texture Mapping Units as the RTX 2080. This results in the RTX 2080 providing 24.9 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RTX 2080 has a 135 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2080 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RTX 2080 providing 8.7 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RTX 2080 was released less than a year after the RTX 2080, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB and the GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB and the GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile are the same, which means the RTX 2080 and the RTX 2080 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
Both the GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB and the GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile have 2944 Shader Processing Units. Having the same number of SPUs and using the same architecture means that the performance they offer can be compared by looking at the memory bandwidth, Texture and Pixel Rates. In this case, the RTX 2080 has 24.9 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate and 8.7 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate, but the has GB/sec greater memory bandwidth. Overall, the RTX 2080 has noticeably better performance.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB requires 215 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile requires 150 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the RTX 2080. The RTX 2080 requires 65 Watts more than the RTX 2080 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 2080 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 2080.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB is a High-End Graphics Card based on the Turing Architecture and is suitable for 1440p or 4K gaming. This is a dual-slot graphics card with a basic blower fan design. This video card has poor overclocking potential. Architecture It equips a Turing GPU Codenamed TU104. More specifically, it uses the TU104-400-A1 variant which means factor overclocks are not permitted. This is a First Gen Turing GPU and has 20 SM activated, offering 2944 Shader Processing Units, 184 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing (RTX) technology. It also has 368 Tensor Cores for AI purposes. GPU The central unit runs at 1515MHz and goes up to 1710MHz in Turbo Mode, the same as the reference specs and 5% slower clock speeds than the Founders Edition. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of Second Gen GDDR6 through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. Total memory bandwidth is 448 Gb/s. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 215W, it requires at least a 650W PSU with available 8-pin + 6-pin power connector. Performance The performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 is slightly faster than the GTX 1080 Ti, making it a suitable graphics card for 4K gaming. System Suggestions GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Phoenix 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160. We recommend a High-End Processor and 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview The GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile card is the top RTX 20 Series graphics card for laptops and considered an enthusiast graphics card based on the Turing GPU architecture. Architecture It equips a Turing GPU Codenamed TU104 which is a First Gen Turing GPU and has 46 SM activated, offering 2944 Shader Processing Units, 184 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. It also has 368 Tensor Cores for AI purposes. GPU The TU104 GPU used in the GeForce RTX 2080 Mobility is clocked lower than the desktop variant, caused decreased performances. The standard model has a base clock speed of 1380 MHz and a boost clock speed of 1590 MHz. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1500MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 80-150W the RTX 2080 Mobile is fairly power hungry and will significantly reduce laptop battery life at full load. System Suggestions GeForce GRTX 2080Mobile is best suited for resolutions all the way up to 3840x2160. We recommend a high-end processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | |||
