GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Quadro GV100: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

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).
  • Better long-term bet: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm gives it a newer hardware base 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.
  • Older hardware, 32 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • 1187.4% HIGHER MSRP
    $8,999 MSRPvs$699 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 2.1 vs 27.8 G3D/$ ($8,999 MSRP vs $699 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Quadro GV100 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 20.3% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER instead at 19,467 vs 19,013, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, 48 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2019 generation instead of 2018. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER makes the most sense to buy today. It is $8,300 cheaper on MSRP at $699 vs $8,999, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 1218.2% (27.8 vs 2.1), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Quadro GV100 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
