GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q has a slightly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop at 110 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 4080 Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q.
