GeForce GTX 1080 vs GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop specs and performance

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

The GeForce GTX 1080 has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. 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 Ti Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 at 180 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

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