GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 5060 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 5060 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 5060 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 5060 also has a significantly 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 4080 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 110 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5060 at 145 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 4080 Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 5060.
