GeForce RTX 3070

2020

Why buy it

  • +314.2% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Costs $1 less on MSRP ($499 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).
  • Delivers 315% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 44.4 vs 10.7 G3D/$ ($499 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 4 GB).

Trade-offs

Quadro P2000 (móvel)

2019

Why buy it

  • Draws 75W instead of 220W, a 145W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (5,353 vs 22,172).
  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 4 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3070 better than Quadro P2000 (móvel)?
Yes. GeForce RTX 3070 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 22,172 vs 5,353 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3070 is a 2020 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Quadro P2000 (móvel) is a 2019 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 3070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2019, 314.2% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 4 GB, and better upscaling support with DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) 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 3070 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3070 is about $1 cheaper on MSRP at $499 MSRP versus $500 MSRP, and you are getting 314.2% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 315%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is Quadro P2000 (móvel) still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Quadro P2000 (móvel) is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $500 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 3070 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
