GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q.
