GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop vs GeForce 940MX benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop beats the GeForce 940MX in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop 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. In addition, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop also has a slightly 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 940MX has a significantly lower TDP at 23 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.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop over the GeForce 940MX.
