In this segment of the video, the differences between Nvidia’s RTX 4070 desktop graphics card and the 4070 laptop GPU are highlighted. The desktop version boasts 28% more CUDA, tensor, and RT cores, 50% more memory capacity, and faster GDDR6X memory with a bigger memory bus. Testing is conducted using XMG’s Neo 16 gaming laptop, paired with an Intel Core i9-13900HX CPU and 32GB of DDR5-5600 memory. While the laptop GPU can run between 115 and 140 watts, performance starts flatlining around 105 watts due to voltage limits set by Nvidia. The laptop has lower power limits compared to the desktop due to space constraints, resulting in louder fan noise. Despite using more power, the desktop runs quieter and cooler than the laptop during gaming sessions at 1440p ultra settings.

In this segment of the video, the comparison between the desktop and laptop 4070 GPUs is discussed. The desktop 4070 can achieve higher clock speeds due to a bigger cooler and extra power, resulting in higher FPS in games compared to the laptop 4070. The desktop card also has double the PCIe 4 lanes between the CPU and GPU for extra bandwidth. Results of thermal testing and performance per watt perspective are analyzed, indicating that the laptop is more power-efficient in certain games. Specific game performance variations between the desktop and laptop 4070 GPUs are highlighted, with games like Forza Horizon 5 showing a significant difference at 4K due to VRAM. The differences in performance are influenced by resolution, with Apex Legends demonstrating the biggest win for the desktop card at 1080p. Overall, the desktop 4070 generally leads in FPS across various games and resolutions tested.

In this segment of the video, the comparison between the desktop RTX 4070 GPU and the laptop RTX 4070 GPU is discussed. Various games were tested at different resolutions, highlighting significant performance differences. The desktop consistently outperformed the laptop, especially at higher resolutions like 4K. Far Cry 6 had notable issues on the laptop at 4K, emphasizing the desktop’s superiority. Across all 25 games tested, the desktop GPU was on average 43% faster at 1080p, 46% faster at 1440p, and 55% faster at 4K than the laptop GPU. Removing Far Cry 6 as an outlier, the difference shrunk to a 47% advantage for the desktop. The importance of upscaling methods like DLSS or FSR for 4K gaming on laptops was emphasized.
