GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop also 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.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q at 90 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q.
