GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
The GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop is significantly faster, around 33% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is better matched to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop packs 5,120 CUDA cores versus 3,072 on the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop starts at $1,950 CAD against $2,005 CAD for the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER still sits about $1,306 CAD above its $699 CAD MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop draws just 125W versus 250W for the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Blackwell architecture on a TSMC 4NP process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Memory & Bandwidth
The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER's memory is faster — 496 GB/s versus 448 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop is roughly 6 years newer than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (Blackwell vs Turing), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER or GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop?
