GTX 1070 vs 1080

[LorenzoS]

Hello,

I was looking at these results:
https://benchmark.chaosgroup.com/gpu...-7700HQ+GTX+10

Could anyone explain me how a gtx 1070 would performs better than a 1080?

Can it be a "mistake" or what else could affect this result?

Thanks!

1080 is on average about 20% faster than 1070 in my tests.
These howerver are mobile GPUs. In mobile computers - notebooks/laptops, the cooling can be very suboptimal, so the GPUs can thermal throttle (if they get too hot, they lower their clocks to prevent overheating).
Well cooled lower end GPU can outperform overheating high end GPU.

Best,
Blago.
