GeForce GTX 1080 vs GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1080 in gaming performance.

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. 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 4070 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 at 180 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 1080.
