GeForce RTX 2080 vs GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 2080 beats the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 2080 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 2080 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 at 250 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 2080 is faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop.
