GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER beats the GeForce GTX 1050 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER has a slightly 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 2080 SUPER also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER at 250 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is better than the GeForce GTX 1050.
