GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q in our tests.

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 slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q has a slightly lower TDP at 110 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop at 115 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q.
