GeForce RTX 2070 vs GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 2070 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 2070 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 2070 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2070 at 175 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 2070.
