Fragz' verdict
The RTX 3060 Ti clearly dominates this comparison, leading the RTX 3070 Laptop GPU by a substantial 33.3% in overall GPU score. This performance difference is evident across all our GPU benchmarks, with the 3060 Ti delivering significantly higher FPS in Earth II (Vulkan), Mission to Earth II (DX12), and Earth II Landing (DX12 Ultimate). Its superior peak clock of 2100 MHz, higher raw compute (ALU index 201848), and greater memory bandwidth of 135 GB/s explain its stronger performance, offering a noticeably smoother gaming experience. While the RTX 3070 Laptop GPU shows solid performance for a mobile solution, albeit with a thin sample of just one verified run, it's the right choice only if portability is your absolute priority, as the desktop card provides a significant boost.

What the numbers mean
The GPU score is the graphics card's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the card in, and depends on processor, memory and storage. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
