GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop vs Radeon RX 6950 XT benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon RX 6950 XT graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 6950 XT has a significantly 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 Radeon RX 6950 XT 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 RTX 3070 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6950 XT at 335 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 6950 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop.
