GeForce GTX 1070 vs GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1070 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1070 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. 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 Ti Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1070 at 150 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 3070 Ti Laptop over the GeForce GTX 1070.
