NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile: specs and benchmarks

NVIDIA started GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile sales 12 January 2021. This is high-end Ampere architecture notebook card based on 8 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 16 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 12 GB/s are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 384.0 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. Power consumption is at 115 Watt.

It provides good gaming and benchmark performance at 72.79 percent of a leader's which is AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT.

Of GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile's architecture, market type and release date.

GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile's general performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile's performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider its benchmark and gaming test results.

Information on GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile's 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.

Parameters of memory installed on GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors don't have dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM.

Types and number of video connectors present on GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference video cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model.

APIs supported by GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile, sometimes including their particular versions.

Non-gaming benchmarks performance of GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile. Note that overall benchmark performance is measured in points in 0-100 range.

Let's see how good GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile is for gaming. Particular gaming benchmark results are measured in FPS. Comparisons with system requirements are included, but remember that sometimes official requirements may reflect real performance inaccurately.
