Our Verdict: Upgrading from RTX 2080 Max-Q to RTX 2080 Mobile 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 2080 Mobile .

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.
