GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop beats the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3080 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 3060 Laptop has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop at 115 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop.
