GeForce GTX 1080 Ti vs GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 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 Ti also 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 5050 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti at 250 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 GTX 1080 Ti is better than the GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop.
