GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop vs GeForce GTX 860M specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 860M in our tests.

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 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 GTX 860M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop at 115 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 860M.
