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

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop beats the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop 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 5060 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 5060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q at 80 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop is faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q.
