The GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q is a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on January 12th, 2021. Built on the 8 nm process, and based on the GA104 graphics processor, in its GA104-775-A1 variant, the chip supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q. Additionally, the DirectX 12 Ultimate capability guarantees support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading and more, in upcoming video games. The GA104 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 392 mm² and 17,400 million transistors. It features 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. Also included are 192 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 48 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 8 GB GDDR6 memory with the GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 780 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1245 MHz, memory is running at 1500 MHz (12 Gbps effective). Its power draw is rated at 80 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. Rather it is intended for use in laptop/notebooks and will use the output of the host mobile device. GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 interface.
