In this comparison we will not evaluate which of the two graphics cards is the best, because by definition RTX 2080 SUPER is higher than the RTX 2070 SUPER. What we will do is get them face to face and check if the premium price RTX 2080 SUPER has. Currently, these are the prices they have in stores, choosing the most affordable Gigabyte model in this case for both models.
Given that the price difference is 215 euros between these graphics cards (something similar or slightly different from the $ 1 price difference according to NVIDIA), so now that's something to explore, is it worth paying more for what RTX 2080 SUPER give it to you in exchange? Let's see it in a technical comparison.

According to the technical definition, it is quite clear that The RTX 2080 SUPER is a prototype that will give us better performance, especially in sports. Not only is it fast, but it has a lot of Shaders, VRAM bandwidth and has very good RT Tracing and Tensor Cores for Ray Tracing. There is no doubt about it.
As for the heatsink, they both use the same in the case of reference models as well as custom models, similar to the ones we gave as Gigabyte's example. Here TDP graphics are always considered, since The RTX 2070 SUPER has a theoretical use of 35 W less
How high is the RTX 2080 SUPER?
Depending on the functionality associated, the average RTX 2080 SUPER is 13% higher than the RTX 2070 SUPER. For our fitness tests (you can see reviews of the RTX 2080 SUPER and the RTX 2070 SUPER on our website), here is an example on 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra:
The highest 12.08% is shown here. Another example, in this game (Shadow of the Tomb Raider) is a full HD solution with high quality graphics.
The difference in performance between these RTX 2070 SUPER vs RTX 2080 SUPER here is 7.56% nothing, but something changes when we propose a solution, up 15% in excellent condition.
So which graphics card should you buy?
As we have shown earlier the price difference between the two graphics cards is over 200 euros, and the performance difference is within 13% that allows for the RTX 2080 SUPER. We're talking about images that are already in the top list, so there really isn't much difference to pay.
If we had to pick one of these graphics cards, we believe that RTX 2070 is a better choice because the difference in performance between the two is not likely to increase in price, unless you intend to play in 4K resolution and all that high, in which case it might be more appropriate to invest in the RTX 2080 SUPER because we will need all the FPS we can decide on this decision.
