GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Max-Q in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Max-Q 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. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Max-Q has slightly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 5.97 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop over the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Max-Q.
