GeForce GTX 780 vs GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 780 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop 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 RTX 4070 Laptop also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 780 at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 780.
