GeForce GTX 1080 vs GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1080 GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1080 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1080 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce GTX 1080 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1080 over the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop.
