Laptop Versions of Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU are Much Slower

Notebook Check has tested the mobile versions of Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU against their desktop counterparts. The results are not impressive - the difference in performance in one case is up to 25%.

Mobile Turings have been tested.

Notebook Check has conducted a comparison of mobile variants of GeForce RTX 2060, 2070, and 2080 to their desktop counterparts. It turns out that laptop chipsets are much slower. The difference is generally greater than in the previous generation of Nvidia GPUs (Pascali).

RTX 2080 looks the best, being slower by 8-10% on average. The mobile RTX 2070, on the other hand, loses 14-18% of its computing power compared to its desktop brother. The weakest RTX 2060 performs even worse, with a difference of 20-25%, which makes it an unattractive product - for comparison, costing a few hundred dollars less, the mobile GTX 1660 Ti is only a few percent slower (and does not offer hardware support for ray tracing and DLSS, but for most gamers this is unlikely to be a big worry at this point).

The results of the Turing family in the benchmark conducted by Notebook Check can be found in the following graphs.
