want who the [ __ ] do you think you are
my favorite viewer that's who here's the tech news rtx laptops are
about to get a whole lot more super and
as that super lame play on words suggests an internal presentation slide
has leaked showing the upcoming mobile iterations of nvidia's rtx super gpus
the slide compares the relative performance of laptops with an rtx 2080
super and 2070 super compared to the vanilla rtx 2070 and 2060 and so on the
slide does not include a vanilla rtx 2080 in the comparison presumably
because that would make the super performance uplift less appealing but
it's no secret that the super variants don't blow their weaker predecessors out
of the water it's not clear when rtx super laptops are coming but if you
guessed sometime this year i probably wouldn't react with a
