The most interesting components for gamers is obviously the tuned graphics card. While the old GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q only got 2304 shader units, the Super version now gets 2560 EUs, which is a gain of 11%. The base clock was increased from 885 MHz to 930 MHz; the Boost clock on the other hand is a bit lower with 1155 MHz vs. 1185 MHz. However, the Turbo is much more aggressive in the real-world as long as the cooling solution can keep up. We managed to get a clock of up to 1665 MHz from the Aero 17 during the GPU-Z render test. Attention: The clocks can vary between notebooks depending on the individual TDP configuration.

The memory has not been changed at a first glance. 8 GB GDDR6-VRAM are still attached via 256-bit interface. However, we can see some differences when it comes to the memory clock, which was reduced from 12,000 to 11,000 MHz. This reduces the memory bandwidth from 384 to 352 GB/s (probably to reduce the power consumption; the low-power GDDR6 is supposed to be particularly power efficient). In return, the number of TMUs and the texture fill rate were increased. We use the GPU driver ForceWare 445.87, which was provided by Nvidia.
