NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, RTX 2070 & RTX 2080 Laptop GPUs Performance Review

[Redaktion]

NVIDIA has now announced its laptop RTX line almost four months after introducing its desktop GPUs. We have the RTX 2060, RTX 2070 and RTX 2080 in for a performance test and to compare them against Pascal generation laptop GPUs ahead of their official release.

Disappointing. Turing offers little efficiency improvements over Pascal and the pricing is as bad as their desktop parts. Looking at the other reviews, the 2060 can't match the 1070 on average and yet 2060 laptops (and MXM cards) are priced about the same if not more expensive than even 1070 laptops (even when they launched 3 years ago). The 2070/2080 and especially Max-Q variants are even worse in value. Time Spy isn't going to be representative of gaming performance for most games in the near future. If you have a 10-series laptop, I'd say skip this gen and wait for the next architecture update when Ray Tracing tech becomes more mature. Nvidia is getting very greedy with pricing, and they're becoming like Intel on the CPU side: 5-10% improvement each gen and more expensive chips.

So curious how much slower the 2070 and 2080 Max Q will be in the Blade 15's. Certainly not too much I hope as I'm seriously considering the white version.

[Bazz]

Laptops with RTX cards are definitely too expensive  >:(

[Glorious 60fps]

Anyone who is saying it's so expensive without doing any research,should stop commenting bullshit. RTX 2060 laptops will be same price as gtx 1060 and much cheaper than gtx 1070 laptops. IGN just posted an article about rtx laptop prices. There's an rtx 2060 laptop for 899$ listed.
As for performance,did you guys even read the article? It clearly said rtx 2060 is a huge jump over it's predecessor and easily beats gtx 1070,almost on par with gtx 1080 laptop.

What a load of crap!! Rtx 2060 is about almost double more powerful than gtx 1060. And you say that it's only 5-10% improvement compared to last gen? Lols. Also rtx 2060 laptops are listed for the same price as gtx 1060 laptops.

[Diogo Dimas]

Have you noticed the price of the Blade 15 with the RTX 2060, its the same as the Blade 15 with the GTX 1070 Max-Q, yet the performance is similar. So on reality the RTX 2070, 2080 and there Max-Q version arent worth it, though the 2060 is. After all a Blade 15 with 2070 Max-Q is 2600$ while the 2060 is 2300$.

It's funny how you ask people to stop commenting bullshit when you do the same yourself. The IGN post you talk about lists a $899 PRE-BUILT DESKTOP 2060 at walmart

The cheapest 2060 laptop is the MSI GL63 for $1499

So it's actually same price as 1070 laptops or even higher, while being the same performance as the 1070 laptop version (read this post again)

"Almost on par with gtx 1080 laptop" Yeah sure buddy. The 1080 laptop = 2070 laptop and 1070 laptop = 2060 laptop, you didn't even read the article.

As said before 2060 laptops are nowhere near 1060 laptop prices and it's not twice as fast as the 1060 laptop gpu either. If you read the benchmarks then the score of the 2060 mobile is on average 30% better than the 1060 mobile. For your interest double performance would mean 100% difference between the cards. So 30% performance increase from 1060 to 2060 let's see the prices now.

As stated above, cheapest rtx 2060 laptop is MSI GL63 for $1499

Now the cheapest gtx 1060 laptop at same retail is $809.99 Dell i7577

$1499-$809.99 is  689.01 US$ and (689.01/809.99)*100 = 85%

So you get 30% performance increase for 85% price increase. Are you really this delusional? How can you talk this much nonsense without considering not posting your bullshit? It's crazy how far a company can push their prices without any major performance increase and people can still defend this s***. Hope you were trolling, if not seek help.

Why not compare with the same processor??? Apples to oranges.

Get real man, the 2060 is nowhere near double a 1060, unless you compare tasks specifically optimized for it like ray tracing and low level D3D APIs, which is pointless anyways. Looking at the frame rates in most games, it's only about 30-40% faster on average. Price wise, most 2060 laptops are in the $1500-1800 range. That's around the price that 1070 laptops launched at 3 years ago, and it can't even beat a 1070. If that's not disappointing to you, look at the past launches of corresponding mobile GPUs:

GTX 970M (2014) easily beats GTX 680M (2012) also much cheaper
GTX 1060 (2016) easily beats GTX 980M (2014) also much cheaper
RTX 2060 (2019) can't beat GTX 1070 (2016) and same price

The ~80W mobile GPUs could outperform the previous gen higher end/flagship models with ease and launched significantly cheaper. That's clearly not the case now and Nvidia is raising prices across the board with Turing.

So you compared a laptop with RTX 2070, double channel RAM and a WAY better process to RTX 2070 MAX-Q, single channel RAM, and a worse processor?

I thought this site was supposed to be good.  This isn't even scientific.

[hfm]

Can we see some power usage comparisons between them all with the 10 and 20 series? Need to use same CPUs first though.

Are you aware that those 1060 laptops launched at 1500$ plus, and they are bellow 900$ because they are on SALE  to introduce the new lineups...

[denial]

i would like to see a comparison with desktop RTX GPUs to know how much are the laptop GPUs slower ?

uhh what? that 7577 in the previous comment equipped with 1060 launched at $899 for the i5 version and $999 for the i7 version, and that's including a 256GB NVMe SSD. on sale, they're sometimes $700 new in dell outlet. why is there so many nvidiots in the comments defending an obviously overpriced GPU launch. that's the worse thing consumers would want.
