GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel)

2016

Why buy it

✅Draws 240W instead of 285W, a 45W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 4070 Ti across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 12 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌No equivalent frame-generation stack like DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
❌Poor future-proofing: 2016-era hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 39.5 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $799 MSRP).

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

2023

Why buy it

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4070 Ti better than GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel)?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 4070 Ti averages 163.5% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 31,578 vs 17,790 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel) is a 2016 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2016, 77.5% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 12 GB instead of 8 GB, and better upscaling support with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $799 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 163.5% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 77.5% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel) still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel) is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around an unclear MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
