Graphics Performance

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER scores 19,467 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the High-End tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Turing (2018−2022) architecture (codename: TU104), manufactured on a 12 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 3072 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 192 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 11.15 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1815 MHz from a base of 1650 MHz.
