GeForce GTX 1080 (móvel) vs Radeon RX 7700S: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce GTX 1080 (móvel)

2016

Why buy it

  • Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon RX 7700S across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023).
  • 2016 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 34.6 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $449 MSRP).
  • 50% higher power demand at 150W vs 100W.

Radeon RX 7700S

2023

Why buy it

  • 6.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 34.6 vs 0 G3D/$ ($449 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023).
  • Better long-term bet: RDNA 3.0 on 6nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 100W instead of 150W, a 50W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Fewer clear downsides in this head-to-head, aside from the usual pricing and availability swings.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon RX 7700S is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 6.7% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce GTX 1080 (móvel) instead at 15,614 vs 15,527, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon RX 7700S is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer feature stack, with FSR 3 (2023) and FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023), while GeForce GTX 1080 (móvel) is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support, a 6nm process instead of 16nm, 32 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2023 generation instead of 2016. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon RX 7700S makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

The clearest feature edge for the Radeon RX 7700S is support for FSR Frame Generation + AFMF. In games that support it, that can smooth out motion and lift perceived FPS. The GeForce GTX 1080 (móvel) does not have comparable native support in the same tier.The GeForce GTX 1080 (móvel) gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The Radeon RX 7700S leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
