GeForce RTX 2060 vs GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop beats the GeForce RTX 2060 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 2060 has a slightly 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 2060 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 RTX 3080 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2060 at 160 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 3080 Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 2060.
