GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 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 2080 SUPER also has a slightly 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 5060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is better than the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop.
