GeForce GTX 1080 vs GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1080 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1080 has a slightly 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 4080 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 110 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 at 180 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 1080.
