GeForce GTX 1080 vs GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1080 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1080 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 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 3080 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 at 180 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 1080.
