GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 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 SUPER 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 3060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER at 220 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER over the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop.
