GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop has a slightly 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 5060 Laptop also has a slightly 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 5060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q at 90 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 5060 Laptop is faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q.
