NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050

GeForce RTX 5080 vs GeForce RTX 5050 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 5080 beats the GeForce RTX 5050 in gaming performance.

The GeForce RTX 5050 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. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 5080 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 5050 has a significantly lower TDP at 130 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5080 at 360 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 5080 is better than the GeForce RTX 5050.
