GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3070 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 3070 Laptop also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 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 3070 Laptop is faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q.
