GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
The GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop is marginally faster, around 5% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop packs 3,840 CUDA cores versus 3,072 on the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER.
Price & Value
The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER currently lists from $913 AED, $3,296 AED less than the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop at $4,209 AED. The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER still sits about $214 AED above its $699 AED MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 115W against 250W, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. 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 5060 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.
