Verdict

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super

5.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid 1440p card in 2019, now a budget used option outpaced by two full architecture generations; fine cheap, not worth paying a premium for.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU

7.7 / 10 Expert Rating

A well-rounded previous-generation chip that's a smart buy once discounted below new Blackwell laptop pricing.
