GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop has a slightly 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 4080 Laptop 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 5080 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop at 110 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 4080 Laptop.
