GeForce GTX 1080 vs GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1080 in gaming.

In our comparison, 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. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 80 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.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 1080.
