NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080

GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce RTX 5080 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card is better than the GeForce GT 1030 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 5080 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce RTX 5080 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce GT 1030 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5080 at 360 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5080 is better than the GeForce GT 1030.
