See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel)

2016

Why buy it

  • Draws 240W instead of 290W, a 50W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • 2016 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU

2021

Why buy it

  • 121.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • Better long-term bet: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 20.8% higher power demand at 290W vs 240W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 121.7% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel) instead at 17,790 vs 17,621, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 8nm process instead of 16nm, 48 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2021 generation instead of 2016. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup.
