GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q in gaming.

The GeForce RTX 4050 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 4050 Laptop also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q at 80 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q.
