GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q 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 GTX 1080 Max-Q 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 8 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q has a slightly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q over the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q.
