Our Verdict: At 1440p, RTX 2060 Mobile can hit 50-60 frames per second on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. Whereas RTX 2080 Max-Q can hit 50-60 frames per second at maximum settings. Upgrading from RTX 2060 Mobile to RTX 2080 Max-Q is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 2060 Mobile .

RTX 2060 Mobile vs RTX 2080 Max-Q with i7-8700K vs i7-8700K at 4K and ultra vs ultra settings

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile / i7-8700K

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RTX 2060 Mobile is simply ridiculous. At 1440p, RTX 2060 Mobile can hit 50-60 fps on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. In terms of memory, the RTX 2060 Mobile 's 6144 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q / i7-8700K

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RTX 2080 Max-Q is simply ridiculous. In terms of memory, the RTX 2080 Max-Q 's 8192 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks.
