Power & Efficiency
On power, the Radeon RX 590 is the gentler choice at 225W versus 250W. The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 250W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Radeon RX 590 brings AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value, while the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER offers NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
