To get the index we compare the characteristics of video cards and their relative prices.
Technical specs
General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.
| Pipelines / CUDA cores | 2944 | 3840 |
| Core clock speed | 1380 MHz | 900 MHz |
| Boost clock speed | 1590 MHz | 1283 - 1703 MHz |
| Number of transistors | 13,600 million | 13,250 million |
| Manufacturing process technology | 12 nm | 8 nm |
| Thermal design power [TDP] | 150 Watt | 125 Watt |
| Texture fill rate | 292.6 | 171.0 |
Compatibility, dimensions and requirements
Information on GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile and GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
| Laptop size | large | large |
| Interface | PCIe 3.0 x16 | PCIe 4.0 x16 |
Memory
Parameters of memory installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated VRAM and use a shared part of system RAM.
| Memory type | GDDR6 | GDDR6 |
| Maximum RAM amount | 8 GB | 6 GB |
| Memory bus width | 256 Bit | 192 Bit |
| Memory clock speed | 14000 MHz | 14000 MHz |
| Memory bandwidth | 384.0 GB/s | 336.0 GB/s |
| Shared memory | - | - |
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones [so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips]. OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.
| Display Connectors | No outputs | No outputs |
| G-SYNC support | + | no data |
