GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 4060 comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4060 beats the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4060 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 4060 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4060 at 200 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 4060 is faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop.
