GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 4060 comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop beats the GeForce RTX 4060 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4060 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 4060 also 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 3080 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4060 at 200 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 4060.
