RTX 4060 Laptop vs RTX 4070 Laptop
The RTX 4070 Laptop is about 17% faster than the RTX 4060 Laptop across 210 games at 1440p High in our estimates. The gap at 1440p and 4K compares what each card can draw on its own, so only the graphics card makes the difference. At 1080p, fast cards are often held back by the processor, so the gap is smaller.
