Gaming laptop RX 6700M vs RTX 3070 GPU tests shared

[HEXUS]

Source tested popular games at 1080p. Systems both had a Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU.

With both AMD and NVidia upping their game, I want to see what Microsoft does with the next Surface Book...

[QuorTek]

I think if AMD and Nvidia actually worked together we would have a better game for everything, they can't really spit out more GPU's anyway.

It's great to see AMD now has some decent laptop dGPUs out now.

That GPU wattage makes a hell of a difference so should be a big factor when doing comparisons, even like for like.

I recently bought a new laptop and was really keen on an Asus Zepherus until I found out it ran the 3070 at sub 100w. I ended up with a Lenovo Legion 5 which puts the 3070 out around 130w which makes a substantial difference in fps if gaming is a need. The trade off is a huge power brick but not a problem for my needs/usage

But how many cores that mobile 3070 has? Isn't it something like desktop 3060? Or even less?

Probably less. Very sneaky marketting.

What ram did the systems have? Lots of videos saying that the AMD systems have pants single rank ram.

Probably call it old hardware and prevent it from installing Windows 11....

It's ambiguous.

Ouch.

My question (to myself) .... is that a positive or a negative, though?

Both use GA104 silicon but the desktop GPU features 5888 CUDA cores, compared to just 5120 on the laptop version.

The RTX 3060 Ti has 4864 Cores and the RTX 3060 has 3584 Cores.

There have been a lot of rubbish single channel AMD laptops made. But in this case, I can't imagine hitting 300fps in single channel, that laptop has to be properly configured.

My son's HP Ryzen laptop is dual channel ram, socketed so you can upgrade it. They aren't all bad.

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

It's not only single ranked RAM but routing the dGPU through the IGP which losses performance.

Ah right, dual rank. not channel. I should read more carefully!

I thought on SODIMMs you had to buy extravagantly large ones to get dual rank?
