GeForce RTX 3070 vs GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 3070 has a significantly 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 3070 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 5080 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 at 220 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 5080 Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 3070.
