GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop has a significantly 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 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 2070 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop at 115 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop is faster than the GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q.
