GeForce GTX 780 vs GeForce RTX 5080 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5080 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 780 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 5080 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 RTX 5080 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce RTX 5080 has significantly more memory with 16 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 780 has a significantly lower TDP at 250 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5080 at 360 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 5080 is faster than the GeForce GTX 780.
