GeForce RTX 2070 vs GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop beats the GeForce RTX 2070 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 2070 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 2070 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2070 at 175 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop over the GeForce RTX 2070.
