In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB are noticeably better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q 90W.
The RTX 2060 has a 480 MHz higher core clock speed but 48 fewer Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2080. The lower TMU count doesn't matter, though, as altogether the RTX 2060 manages to provide 17.7 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 2060 has a 480 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2080 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RTX 2060 providing 30.7 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 2060 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 Max-Q 90W and the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The RTX 2060 has 64 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RTX 2080, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2060 is much better than the RTX 2080.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q 90W has 2944 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB has 2176. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2080 is 3621 and the actual shader performance of the RTX 2060 is 3949. The RTX 2060 having 328 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 2060 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RTX 2080.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q 90W requires 90 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB requires 175 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2060, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the RTX 2080. The RTX 2060 requires 85 Watts more than the RTX 2080 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 2060 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 2080.

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 Name: TU104-400A-A1 GPU The central unit runs at 990MHz and goes up to 1230MHz in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of Second Gen GDDR6 through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 1500MHz, or 12GHz effective. Total memory bandwidth is 384 Gb/s. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 90W, the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q 90W is fairly power hungry for a laptop graphics processor. It runs around 15% faster than the 80W model. Performance Performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q 90W falls a long way short of the desktop GeForce RTX 2080. However, the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q is still a decently fast mobile graphics card which offers performance on par with a desktop GeForce GTX 1070. System Suggestions GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q 90W is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2560 x 1440. We recommend a High-End Processor and 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB is a mid to high-range GeForce 20 Series graphics card and considered a great price to performance graphics card based on the Turing architecture. This is the 'Super' variant of the RTX 2060 and utilises a cut-down version of the RTX 2070 GPU. Architecture The Turing architecture represents a process shrink down to 12nm compared to 14nm Pascal. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB supports real-time ray-tracing and excels at 1080p and 1440p screen resolutions. GPU It equips a Turing GPU codenamed TU106-410-A which has 2176 Shader Processing Units, 136 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1470 MHz and goes up to 1815 MHz in Boost mode.
