GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in gaming performance.

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti has a significantly 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 3060 Laptop has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti has slightly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 5.97 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti.
