GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop has a significantly 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 4070 Laptop also 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.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 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 2080 SUPER Max-Q.
