RTX 4070 laptop graphics card, only 15% faster than RTX 3070

Recently, information has been published about the performance of GeForce RTX 4060 and GeForce RTX 4070 laptop graphics cards, according to which the improvement of the performance of these cards is more than 10% compared to the previous generation. The RTX 4060 graphics card is said to be at least 25 percent faster than the RTX 3060, while the performance improvement for the RTX 4070 graphics card is Only 11 to 15 percent will be.

Technical performance of the RTX 4070 laptop

This information is published by the Chinese company Mechrevo and is only in the form of an abbreviated chart. In fact, this company has not published any additional information about these two graphics cards. The company simply made a comparison between the RTX 4060/RTX 4070 laptop graphics cards and the RTX 3060/RTX 3070 laptop graphics cards, and most likely the TGP was the same and unchanged in these comparisons.

In terms of drawing accuracy, these charts are the worst charts that can be used to compare the performance of two graphics cards. Not only does their major axis not start at 0, but the 125% bar of the 3DMark TimeSpy benchmark is larger than the 130% bar of the 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark. Of course, it is better to put aside the discussion about the appearance of the chart and focus on its numbers.

Specifications of RTX 4060/4070 cards

Regarding the technical specifications, we must say that the RTX 4070 graphics card is equipped with an AD106 processor with 4608 CUDA cores and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory through a 128-bit interface. This card actually has fewer cores than the RTX 3070 graphics card (5120 vs. 4608) and its memory is still 8 GB.

Although the memory frequency of the RTX 4070 graphics card is higher than that of the RTX 3070 (16 Gbps instead of 14 Gbps), its memory bandwidth is halved compared to the previous generation, because the RTX 3070 graphics card has a 256-bit memory interface. And RTX 4070 graphics card, 128-bit interface. Therefore, the bandwidth of this graphics card has increased from 448 GB/s to only 256 GB/s. Of course, in comparing these two graphics cards, we are actually comparing AD106 and GA104 processors, which are from two different classes. Anyway, that’s the decision Nvidia made.

On the other hand, the RTX 4060 graphics card is equipped with the full version of the AD107 processor with 3072 CUDA cores. The memory specifications of this graphics card are the same as the RTX 4070 graphics card. Just like the RTX 4070, this graphics card has less cores than its previous generation, and a lower class processor is used in it. Despite these negative changes, the RTX 4060 is still a reasonable generational upgrade over the RTX 3060, with 25% better technical performance.

RTX 4050/4060/4070 laptop graphics cards are going to be released next week on February 22. Gamers can now pre-order laptops equipped with these cards and receive them next week.
