GeForce GTX 1070 vs GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1070 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1070 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 GTX 1070 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1070 at 150 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 1070.
