GeForce RTX 3060 vs GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop comparison

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

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3060 has a significantly 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 3060 also 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 3080 Ti Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3060 at 170 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 Ti Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 3060.
