GeForce GTX 1080 Ti vs GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 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. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop has a slightly 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 RTX 4050 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 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 GTX 1080 Ti is better than the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop.
