TechPowerUp picked up news that NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will feature the fastest GDDR6 memory to date. The new model will use 15.5Gbps GDDR6 memory, which is 10.7 percent higher clocked than the 14Gbps GDDR6 used by the original RTX 2080 and other RTX 20-series cards. This translates to a memory clockspeed of 1937MHz vs 1750MHz on the original.

The card has a 256-bit memory bus and will offer memory bandwidth of 496GB/s.
Besides memory, the RTX 2080 Super maxes out the "TU104" silicon by enabling all 3,072 CUDA cores physically present, as opposed to just 2,944 of them being enabled on the original RTX 2080. The card is also endowed with 192 TMUs, 64 ROPs, 384 Tensor cores, and 48 RT cores. The GPU frequencies are set at 1650 MHz with 1815 MHz GPU Boost, compared to 1515/1710 MHz of the original RTX 2080.
You can expect it in retail stores on July 23 for $699.
