Zephyrus Duo 15 RTX 2080S GPU Question

Hi guys,


Got a question about the Zephyrus Duo 15's GPU (not sure if it's an intelligent question). I've been trying to figure out if the 2080 Super has a possibility of being a modified desktop version, or if it'll just be the Mobile version of the 2080S? I asked ASUS Support if it was the Mobile or a Desktop GPU and they stated "From the graphics section, the device will come with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER". I'm lead to thinking it's the Desktop version then, but I'm not too knowledgeable on if Desktop RTX GPUs have been ported to laptops or not. If it's a Desktop GPU I'd be straight up buying it to replace my desktop PC (for convenience), but if it's mobile then I might have to think about it. Would anyone happen to have any educated guesses, insights or answers on what it'll be?

Thanks heaps

I believe it will be the mobile version unfortunately. Notebookcheck lists it as the 2080 super mobile. The desktop version would be quite the beast to tame with a 250W tdp

Mobile versions don't exist anymore. It's a heavily downclocked 2080S

Oh ok. Would that mean it's possible to OC them by a respectable degree? I've never done any overclocking before, but if it'll bring it closer to its desktop version by a considerable amount that would be great

No unless you want to overload the power delivery and cook the card with extreme heat. Just don't mess with it
