GeForce GTX 950M vs GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 950M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop has a slightly 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 3070 Laptop 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 GTX 950M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop at 115 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 950M.
