Our Verdict: Upgrading from RTX 4080 Max-Q to RTX 4080 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.
In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RTX 4080 Mobile is simply ridiculous. For those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 4080 Mobile is very expensive and there are better value choices in the short term. In terms of memory, the RTX 4080 Mobile 's 12288 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RTX 4080 Mobile , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
