GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs GeForce GTX 980M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti beats the GeForce GTX 980M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 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 2080 Ti 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has significantly more memory with 11 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 980M has a significantly lower TDP at 100 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti over the GeForce GTX 980M.
