This thing is a beast! Other than double the vram to 16GB, how do you think it will perform vs. the RTX 2080 Max-Q? Similar or significantly faster? Anyone tried the Studio drivers vs. the gaming drivers to see if there is more stability for Autodesk Revit w/ Enscape?

@angelo_marasco , check out this following benchmark comparison article here:

It actually looks as if the Quadro RTX 5000 is quite a bit faster compared to the 2080 Max Q. It is, of course, also a lot more expensive, but this would definitely be a laptop more than suitable for Enscape. :stuck_out_tongue:

(No experience regarding the Studio / Gaming drivers though, maybe someone else can also chime in.)

Thanks Demian, sounds like it will be significantly faster! I asked an nVidia programmer and here is their response:

“In terms of speed they are similar if the textures/load you are using are under 8 Gb. When you need to load more, the RTX 5000 pulls ahead by a lot.

But Quadro also offers other cool features like ECC memory, unlimited NVENC sessions, certifications with the top ISVs, etc.”

That is comparing the desktop Quadro RTX 5000 to the mobile 2080 max-Q. The mobile RTX 5000 will also be a Max-Q variant.

Unless you are bottlenecking on the VRAM I wouldn’t expect it to be faster; in my experience the Quadros are somewhat slower than their equivalent gaming counterparts. We have a Lenovo P53 with the RTX 5000 Max-Q in-house but I haven’t got my hands on it to test yet.

Here in Norway I recommend serie of powerful laptops coming from Multicom

So you think it will be slower than the RTX 2080 Q? I’d like a little more stability, so if it’s about on par with the mobile 2080, or even faster than the 1080 Q I’d take that!

Hard to say… my guess would be the 2080Q will be a little faster, but the service/reliability from Dell/Lenovo/HP on a Quadro laptop will be better. I usually run some OpenGL benchmarks (Unigine) on our new systems and had some issues with our P53/RTX 5000 - it wouldn’t finish the benchmarks, but we may not have all the right drivers loaded yet. Needs more TLC to get an answer. I think performance could vary quite a bit between models and will depend on the manufacturer’s cooling solution.

That said, this Omen from HP is a steal.

It has a “full” mobile 2080 - beats the MaxQ by a good margin. It isn’t a small laptop by any means, but that also allows for better cooling. If you don’t mind the size it is by far the best value/performance option out there right now imho.

I’m willing to sacrifice some performance for a smaller more portable setup - something you can throw in your bag for any type of meeting. 17" is too big, and even 15" gaming laptops over 5 lbs are not what I would consider easily portable.
