GeForce RTX 4070 vs GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4070 beats the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop in gaming performance.

The GeForce RTX 4070 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 4070 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 4060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4070 at 300 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4070 is better than the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop.
