GeForce GTX 780 vs GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 780 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop has a significantly 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 RTX 4090 Laptop also has a significantly 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 4090 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 780 at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 780.
