Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4070 SUPER takes a commanding lead, outperforming the RTX 3070 Laptop GPU by 172.6% in overall GPU score. This substantial difference is evident across our tests, with the RTX 4070 SUPER delivering 44 FPS in Earth II Vulkan compared to 15 FPS, 55.5 FPS in Mission to Earth II DX12 versus 19.6 FPS, and 51.1 FPS in Earth II Landing DX12U against 20.1 FPS. Driving this performance are significantly higher raw compute with an ALU index of 511255, 153 GB/s of bandwidth, 12 GB of VRAM, and a peak clock of 2820 MHz, all far exceeding the RTX 3070 Laptop GPU's numbers. For a gamer, this means much smoother, higher-fidelity experiences across the board, making the RTX 4070 SUPER the superior choice for raw power. However, with only one verified run for the RTX 3070 Laptop GPU, its sample is thin, and it still offers full ray tracing, mesh shaders, and VRS support for those needing a more compact solution.
Generated August 14, 2026 from the 16 verified runs available then. The verdict is never silently rewritten — new numbers get a new verdict.
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
