GeForce GTX 1080 vs RTX A4500 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the RTX A4500 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. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1080 has a slightly lower TDP at 180 W when compared to the RTX A4500 at 200 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the RTX A4500 is faster than the GeForce GTX 1080.
