GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel)

2016

Why buy it

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

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon PRO W7800 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 16 GB vs 32 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Older hardware, 16 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 10.9 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $2,499 MSRP).
  • 15.4% higher power demand at 300W vs 260W.

Radeon PRO W7800

2023

Why buy it

  • 133.2% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 10.9 vs 0 G3D/$ ($2,499 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (32 GB vs 16 GB).
  • Better long-term bet: RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) on 5nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 260W instead of 300W, a 40W 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 PRO W7800 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 133.2% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 2.4% in PassMark G3D (27,180 vs 26,543), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon PRO W7800 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 32 GB vs 16 GB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 5nm process instead of 16nm, and 70 vs 0 ray-tracing units. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon PRO W7800 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup.
