GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 980 Ti in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4060 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 4060 Laptop also has a significantly 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 4060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 980 Ti at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
