GeForce RTX 5060 vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 5060 vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
The GeForce RTX 5060 is noticeably faster, around 12% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 5060 is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is better matched to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 5060 packs 3,840 CUDA cores versus 3,072 on the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce RTX 5060 draws just 145W 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 4N 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 5060 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 5060 or GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER?
