GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 3050 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. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop 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 3050 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop at 115 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop is faster than the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop.
