GeForce RTX 4070 vs GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop beats the GeForce RTX 4070 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4070 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 GeForce RTX 4070 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 4080 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 110 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4070 at 300 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 4070.
