GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop has a slightly 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 4090 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 RTX 3070 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop at 120 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop.
