GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3080 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 3080 Laptop also has a significantly 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 2080 SUPER Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop at 115 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q.
