✅10.0% more average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅More future proof: Ampere on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 150W instead of 250W, a 100W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 16 GB vs 32 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 2.1 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $8,999 MSRP).

Quadro GV100

2018

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 2.1 vs 0 G3D/$ ($8,999 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (32 GB vs 16 GB).

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
❌Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 32 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.
❌66.7% higher power demand at 250W vs 150W.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU better than Quadro GV100?

Yes. GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU averages 10.0% more FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 19,108 vs 19,013 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU is a 2021 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Quadro GV100 is a 2018 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2021 generation instead of 2018, better upscaling support with DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 8nm process instead of 12nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $8,999 MSRP, and you are getting 10.0% more estimated average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data and 0.5% higher G3D Mark. Quadro GV100 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Quadro GV100 still makes more sense on price alone, but the performance trade-off is much harder to justify by current standards.

Is Quadro GV100 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Quadro GV100 is still a strong gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. This mostly comes down to price. If you want to stay closer to $8,999 MSRP, it remains a strong choice; if you are comfortable paying more, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU earns that extra money with a clearly stronger gaming result and a more complete overall package.
