GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

GeForce RTX 2070 Super with Max-Q Design — 59 games benchmarked at 1080p, 9 models in the catalog.

GeForce RTX 2070 Super with Max-Q Design — 59 games benchmarked at 1080p , 9 laptop models in the used-laptop catalog . This guide covers what the chip delivers in games, where it sits among mobile GPUs in 2026, and which laptops carry it.

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super with Max-Q Design is the power-tuned naming record of the 2019 Super refresh. The catalog has benchmarked it in 59 games at 1080p, with 9 models name-matched to the chip family.

Where the RTX 2070 Super with Max-Q Design sits in 2026

The catalog scores this record at 65.8 — 62nd of 341 scored mobile GPUs. The Max-Q treatment costs it 35 places against the standard Super record (73.2, 27th). Its neighbors are a blend of eras and classes: the RTX 2060 (66.4) and RTX 3080 Ti (66.4) above, the RTX 4050 Laptop GPU (66) just ahead, and the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition (65.3), RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design (65.1) and RTX 1000 Ada (64.7) behind. Upper-middle band, bracketed by modern entry-RTX silicon on one side and older flagships on the other.

What the chip brings

The Super-generation TU104-class silicon with clocks trimmed for thin chassis: 8 GB of GDDR6, the 12 nm Turing process, DLSS and first-generation ray tracing. The public synthetics stay close to the family's — PassMark 16062, Fire Strike 23186 — while the Vulkan result (71901 against the standard Super's 96649) is where the derating shows most.

FPS in games at 1080p

This record's high-preset table is robust — and in several titles it out-posts the standard Super record. FIFA 20 runs at 267 FPS, Valorant at 258, CS:GO and Overwatch at their 240 cap, Counter-Strike 2 at 210, Star Wars Squadrons at 212, Dirt Rally 2.0 and F1 2019 at 178, Fortnite at 174, GTA V at 163 and The Witcher 3 at 158. The heavy shelf: Forza Horizon 4 at 142, Forza Horizon 5 at 120, Resident Evil 4 Remake at 100, Far Cry 5 at 114, Metro Exodus at 78, Red Dead Redemption 2 at 73 and Cyberpunk 2077 at 90 — playable across the board, with margin in most.

Laptops that carry it

The family name-match returns the standard 2020 Dell-family cohort: Alienware m15 R3 at $750 and m17 R3 at $1027, Dell G7 machines at $750–$822, G3 15 and G5 15 at $472, HP's OMEN 17-CB at $776 and ZBook Create G7 at $737. The medians (gaming index 73) describe those machines across all their clock variants.

Bottom line

Like the other Max-Q Design records in this catalog, this one argues against taking the suffix too seriously: its table beats the standard Super record in Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, Fortnite, Forza Horizon 4, Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3, and trails it nowhere that matters for playability. What the ranking retains is real — five places of normalized score — but in the shared $472–$1027 chassis cohort, condition and cooling decide more games than the badge does. Treat this as a 2070-class machine at 2070-class prices, and a well-kept one will deliver this table.
