GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop vs GeForce RTX 5060 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 5060 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 5060 also has a significantly 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 Ti Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5060 at 145 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5060 is better than the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop.
