GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 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 1660 SUPER 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 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER at 125 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.
